Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Refrain and TradingView account protection

What is Refrain and who is it for?
Refrain is account protection for TradingView - built for prop firm traders, funded account holders, and anyone who needs hard rules enforced on the chart. It runs as a Chrome extension and blocks orders before they submit when a rule would be violated.
Does Refrain need my broker login?
No. Refrain works on TradingView in Chrome. It does not connect to your broker, read account balances from a brokerage API, or store broker credentials.
What protection layers are included?
Refrain Pro includes news protection with hard locks, drawdown radar, position size protection, and cooldown locks. All layers run in real time while you trade.
How fast does a block happen?
Rules evaluate on each order attempt. When a violation is detected, the block typically lands in under a second - before the order goes through.
Can I use Refrain on multiple accounts?
Your subscription covers your Refrain account. Configure rules per your workflow in the extension settings. Contact support if you need team or multi-seat options.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel from your account billing portal. There are no long-term contracts on the standard Pro plan.
