Trading journal plus live guardrails

    RulesFirst is not only a trading journal.

    RulesFirst includes journaling, broker sync where supported, manual imports, and analytics. But the core difference is live risk protection before the trade becomes a journal entry.

    Journal-grade analytics

    Review win rate, average win, average loss, profit factor, MFE, MAE, running P&L, and performance by time, asset, and day.

    Live protection

    Instead of waiting until end-of-day review, RulesFirst helps traders see risk drift while the trade is still active.

    Behavior review

    Map imported trades and manual trade plans back to habits like revenge trading, adding to losers, and ignored stops.

    RulesFirst workflow

    Plan before entry, protect during the trade, review after the session.

    RulesFirst connects the search intent on this page back to a practical risk-first workflow active traders can use before, during, and after a trade.
