Is there a way to make it harder for me to intervene?

Not an unusual request at all, and a fair one. A few things that exist today can be used this way: set your risk limits before the session so that changing them is a deliberate act rather than a slider you nudge; run without the live view open so intervention requires you to go looking; and use the mobile alerts to receive only outcomes rather than a running feed. We don't currently have an explicit lock-out, but this is a useful thing to hear — if others want it too, a "session lock" is a reasonable thing for us to consider.

I'd use a session lock. Adding my voice so it counts as two.

Three.

Genuine question before you build friction: do you know yet whether your overrides are net negative? I'd log every intervention for a month, timestamp, reason, and what the system would have done if left alone. Otherwise you might be adding friction to the one thing that's saving you.

Old broker of mine kept his order pad in a locked drawer and gave his wife the key. Sounds silly until you count what it saved him. Friction works, it just has to be friction you can't undo in three seconds.

Phone in another room! Sounds dumb, works great. I set my exits when I set the entry and then I go do literally anything else, because if I'm watching I WILL fiddle!

Dee's suggestion is the right shape. If you do log them, I'd separate overrides by trigger, the ones after a drawdown behave very differently from the ones after a fast gain, in my experience. Do you already have a sense of which kind you make more of?

Easiest friction I found was just trading slower timeframes. Hard to panic-override a position you only need to look at twice a week. Day traders pay for their entertainment one way or another :)

Worth remembering each override costs you the spread plus whatever slippage you eat getting back in. Price the habit out over a hundred interventions and the friction argument makes itself.

A rule I use: any override has to be written down before it's placed. One line, what I'm seeing and why the plan is wrong. Takes maybe 90 seconds and most of the time I don't finish the sentence. Bonus is you end up with the log Dee is asking for without doing extra work.

QuietVol — mostly after a fast gain, if I'm honest. Drawdowns I can sit through because I've made peace with them; it's the green ones where I get twitchy and start protecting something that isn't really mine yet. Something about watching a gain build feels like being handed something fragile. I'll start the log and split it the way you suggested, curious whether the timestamps cluster in the first hour.

The strongest friction I ever found was being wrong twice in a row after overriding. Free, permanent, no drawer key required. But sure, log it first, at least then you'll know which flavour of wrong you are.

Ana that bit about the green ones is so relatable, I'm the same, losses I can sit on all day but a gain builds and suddenly I'm 'just protecting it'. What helped me was making the morning coffee the only time I'm allowed to touch anything. Set it, close the tab, done till tomorrow. Also +1 to Fiona's write-it-first rule, I never finish the sentence either :)
