Turn your trading rules into live guardrails.
RulesFirst lets traders create personal rules around timing, size, setup quality, and risk behavior — then surfaces protection prompts when live trades conflict with those guardrails.
Custom Rules are decision-support guardrails. They do not place trades, block your broker account, prevent all losses, or guarantee performance. You remain responsible for every trading decision.
Trade timing rule triggered.
RulesFirst can warn when a trade starts during a restricted time window.
Build rules around the places you usually slip.
Custom Rules are designed to make your personal discipline system visible during the trade — not just after the session.
Timing Rules
Create guardrails around trading windows, premarket behavior, after-hours behavior, or high-risk time periods.
Size Rules
Set personal size and exposure boundaries so oversized trades are easier to notice before damage grows.
Setup Rules
Require trades to match your own setup quality, grade, or preparation standards before execution.
Risk Behavior Rules
Escalate when rule breaks, repeated behavior drift, or risky session patterns start showing up.
A rule is only useful if it shows up at the decision point.
RulesFirst can surface rule alerts on the web terminal during live trading and through mobile protection when the trader steps away. The goal is to create a pause before the rule break becomes damage.
Surface custom rule alerts while the trade decision is still active.
Let protection follow the trader beyond the web terminal.
Guide the trader toward reviewing, reducing, pausing, or acknowledging.
Review repeated rule triggers after the trading session.
This trade conflicts with a personal rule. Review the plan before continuing.
From personal rule to decision trail.
Custom Rules help traders slow down, notice the conflict, choose a deliberate action, and review the rule trigger later.
Define
The trader creates personal guardrails around timing, size, setup, or risk behavior.
Detect
A trade or session pattern conflicts with one of those guardrails.
Prompt
RulesFirst surfaces a clear alert so the trader can pause and review.
Review
Rule triggers become part of the session review and habit analytics.
Your rules should show up before the regret.
RulesFirst is built to bring your personal trading guardrails into the live decision moment — where discipline usually breaks.
RulesFirst provides software tools for planning, alerts, journaling, and analytics. It is not a broker, financial advisor, investment advisor, or guarantee against losses. You remain responsible for your own trading decisions.
