What are the pre-trade checklist and the tilt check?

Trade › the order ticket · Settings › Security › Pre-trade checklist

The pre-trade checklist is optional and off by default. Switch it on in Settings › Security and the ticket asks five yes or no questions before each trade; every answer must be yes, or you press Trade anyway and the override goes to your journal. The tilt check is separate: after two paper losses in a row the ticket offers a pause.
