Cockpit

Open the cockpit. Trade the plan.

Pre-market sizing, live margin-call prices per broker, and a buying-power meter that turns red before you do.

What's in the cockpit

Eleven panels. One trading day.

Each panel built for a specific moment of the day: pre-market planning, live execution, end-of-day reflection.

Margin Call Risk

FINRA Rule 4210 calculated per broker, with editable house-specific overrides (Cobra's $3 floor for micro-caps, IB's house tightening, etc.). Shows the trigger price for each broker, live, as you change size.

Shorts <$5: $2.50/share or 100% market value
Shorts ≥$5: $5.00/share or 30% market value
Longs: 25% market value
Multi-broker share allocation

Know your margin call before noon, not after a 4% move.

System Share Size Comparator

Side-by-side: planned position sizes (Full / 50%) vs. your actual fill prices and quantities. Cascading account-risk formula, each subsequent trade reduces by your defined risk percentage.

Catch sizing drift mid-market, not after a losing week.

Live Stock Health

Real-time fundamentals from Yahoo plus active distress signals: stock issuance %, insider net buying, EV/MC ratio. Traffic-light badge summarizes conviction risk at a glance, especially useful for short setups.

Exit Strategy Ladder

Build 3–5 leg exit plans (TP1, TP2, trailing stop) with custom share splits per leg. Calculates blended exit price and shows aggregate $ impact across all legs and catches partial-exit mistakes before they happen.

Scale out with precision. See your blended exit price before the first share fills.

Day Simulation Summary

Aggregates all planned trades into one dashboard before entry: total fees, max loss + slippage, projected end-account, system profit (what you'd have if you filled at system entry), recovery planner.

Next-Day Position Planner

Plan tomorrow's sizes while today's trades are still on. Each trade is smaller than the previous, so five losses in a row can't blow up your account. DAS Trader hot key scripts come pre-filled and ready to paste into your hot key setup at the open.

Today's closing balance carries forward, so the first trade tomorrow is sized correctly.

Swing Entry

Splits a trade into day + swing legs at close. Tracks overnight SI%, stop-loss, and daily borrow cost as a % of position. T+1 settlement-aware overnight fees.

Pattern-Level Position Sizing

Every pattern has its own sizing track. Drawdown in one setup doesn't shrink the others. Each one rises and falls on its own performance.

One drawdown shouldn't cripple your winners.

“Trade Cockpit is a live pre-market planner that models your entire day's risk/reward before trade entry, with multi-broker margin-call triggers and cascading position sizes.”
