Having this kill switch in the computer is the wrong way. It could theoretically help you not to take some stupid entries, but it will not help you with all the rest. There is a very high risk that you delude yourself with such a kill switch and thus still lose money. The switch must be in your head.
It is very likely that the entries will not be the only problem regarding self control. What about moving stops, position sizing, exits.... And if the entry really is the only problem, you probably have come a long way already, just keep going.
The better way in most if not all cases would be to learn to know your strengths and weaknesses as good as you never imagined possible, then work on them. Keep a journal, journal every trade, every thought, feeling, things done well and mistakes. As @ Deucalion wrote (btw. one bl**dy brilliant post that is!) learn from your mistakes.
If you manage learning from your mistakes,the next step is to learn from the mistakes of others. Conquer this and you hold the holy grail in your hands.
