You turn on the exchange's own pause with our guide. Mast watches with a read-only key and never holds trading or withdrawal rights. We haven't yet proven that Bybit's pause can't be ended early, so we don't count it as a lock yet.
You enable the exchange cooling-off, Mast watches.

What the levels mean
| Level | Name | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| N0 · nudge | Nudge | An alert or a warning. You can ignore it. |
| N1 · client friction | Client friction | A button is disabled or covered on your screen. It can be bypassed. |
| N2 · closes after fill | Close after fill | Your order goes through, then gets closed. Works while the software runs. |
| N3 · native server lock | Native server lock | The platform itself rejects your orders until the lock ends. |
| N4 · pre-trade block | Third-party pre-trade block | A broker plugin or back-office key rejects the order before it executes. |
| W · witness | Witness | Read-only view of all trades from any device. A trade that breaks your rules alerts your partner and hits your score. |
