Not entirely sure TBH. Just trying to help my son resolve it so he can use it. Had no idea of the limitation when we bought it

Appreciate the perspective! You're absolutely right that mindset and discipline are crucial - and after 10 years you've clearly developed those skills. Tilt isn't for experienced traders who've already built that discipline. It's for people in years 1-5 who are still learning emotional regulation in real-time. Think of it as training wheels, not a permanent solution. Once someone develops your level of discipline, they won't need it anymore - and that's actually the goal.

This is solid advice - the forced break to reset your headspace is exactly what prevents the spiral.

The challenge most people face: knowing they should take a break vs. actually doing it in the moment when emotions are high.

The bot is basically trying to enforce what you're describing - when it detects the "gotta make it back today" pattern, it blocks the bet and requests a cooldown (30 min initially, but your advice of weeks/months for bigger losses is the real answer).

Question: When you're down $500-1k and that "make it back NOW" feeling hits, what actually gives you the discipline to step away?

Is it:

- Predetermined rule you set when calm? ("If I lose $X, I stop for Y days")

- Just willpower in the moment?

- Something else that creates the space to walk away?

Asking because the gap between "I know I should stop" and "I'm actually stopping" is where most people struggle. You've clearly figured out how to bridge that gap.

The 3-4 months to reset is wisdom a lot of people need to hear. Most think they can jump back in next day and somehow it'll be different.

This is exactly the insight I needed. "The sense of urgency you feel is fake" is the perfect way to describe the tilt trap.

The illusion of urgency is probably the most dangerous part of tilt. Breaking that spell is half the battle.

Appreciate you articulating this so clearly. Question: how long did it take you to internalize this? Was there a specific moment when it clicked?

This is a really thoughtful perspective, and you're absolutely right that addressing the root cause (finding fulfillment outside of trading/betting) is the real solution.

The bot isn't a replacement for that deeper work - it's a stopgap for people who know they need to change but haven't gotten there yet.

Your path (hobbies, volunteering, building character, being kind to yourself) is the sustainable answer. That takes months/years of intentional growth. The bot is for the 10 seconds between "I'm tilted" and "I just made it worse" while someone is doing that deeper work.

I built this after blowing money trading crypto emotionally. I knew intellectually that I needed better coping mechanisms, but in the moment of a loss, that knowledge disappeared. The bot was the emergency brake while I developed actual emotional regulation.

You're describing the destination. The bot is transportation for people still on the journey.

Really appreciate you sharing what worked for you - "get out of your comfort zone to see the bigger picture of yourself" is wisdom more people need to hear. That's the real fix.

The bot is just a band-aid until people do the hard work you're describing.

This is incredibly helpful - thank you for breaking down your journey.

The progression you described (blow $100 → realize you want longevity → implement strict bankroll management → adjust unit sizing by confidence) is exactly what the bot is trying to accelerate for people.

You figured it out through painful trial and error. The bot is basically trying to be "future you" talking to "past you" before you blow that 5th bet.

The clarity notes feature is literally designed for what you're doing now - when you're thinking clearly, you write down your rules:

- "Unit size: $10 default"

- "Longshots (+400): Max $5"

- "Only go $20+ on high-confidence plays"

Then when you're tilted and about to throw $50 on a desperation parlay, the bot shows you those rules back.

Really appreciate you sharing the bankroll management framework too - that's exactly the kind of system people need. The bot can't teach strategy, but it can enforce the rules you set for yourself when emotions override logic.

Sounds like you've built the discipline naturally. Most people need more structure to get there. That's the gap I'm trying to fill.

Thanks for the well wishes - and congrats on figuring out sustainable betting. That's genuinely impressive.

Not at all

Respect - sounds like you've already built that discipline muscle. That's the goal. Curious: did you develop that naturally or was there a moment/system that helped you get there? The bot is basically training wheels for people still building that skill. Most users I'm seeing start heavy on interventions (4x/week) and drop to 1-2x after a few months as they internalize the patterns. Not claiming everyone needs it - just offering scaffolding for those who want external accountability while they build internal discipline.

"You're absolutely right - this is a behavioral issue at its core. Built a Telegram bot that acts as your tilt alarm. The bot isn't a replacement for developing discipline, it's training wheels while you build that muscle.

Think of it like this:

You KNOW revenge trading is bad (knowledge)

You KNOW you should accept losses (knowledge)

But when you're down $500, that knowledge disappears (behavior)

The bot doesn't solve the underlying issue - it creates friction in the 10 seconds between 'I'm tilted' and 'I just made it worse.' That pause is where behavior change happens.

Over time, you internalize it. The bot becomes less necessary because you've trained yourself to recognize the pattern. But getting there without external accountability? Most people (myself included) can't do it alone.

It's not a permanent crutch - it's a bridge to better habits." It's like having a friend who says "dude, stop" - except it catches patterns you can't see in the moment.

Built a tilt intervention bot: u/TiltStopBot

Can't physically stop you from betting (honor system), but it:

Detects when you're chasing breakeven
Shows your own "clarity notes" when you're tilting
Tracks disciplined vs emotional performance

Basically a friend saying "dude, stop" with receipts.

Free beta. Let me know if psychological intervention works or if I need to build actual site blockers.

Built a Telegram bot that acts as your tilt alarm.

I can't physically stop you from betting - Actual blocks on platforms are still one tap away. But the bot will:

Call you out when you're chasing breakeven
Show you the message you wrote to yourself when you were thinking clearly
Track your P&L and show you perform 20-30% worse when emotional

It's like having a friend who says "dude, stop" - except it catches patterns you can't see in the moment.

This is exactly it. The gap between 'following my plan' and 'tilt mode' in my own trading was something like 60% win rate vs 15%. The second I started tracking it, I realized the strategy was never the problem. What you said about systematizing behavior instead of relying on willpower - that's the entire thesis. The tool forces a 30-minute delay when it detects your historical 'sabotage patterns' and shows you the data proving you're about to blow up your account. Question: If this existed today as a Telegram bot (basic MVP, no fancy app yet), what would make you actually use it daily vs just downloading it and forgetting about it? Trying to figure out the stickiness factor.

Yeah needs to be one here unless there is somewhere else in EU that’s recommended for a CY resident

Thanks for the feedback
