Features built for the moment discipline breaks.
RulesFirst combines live risk management with extensive post-trade analytics, helping traders plan risk, detect behavior drift, and understand the performance and habits behind their P&L.
Beacon
Real-time intervention alerts when your trade reaches configured risk stages
RulesFirst reviews active-trade context and can trigger focused web/mobile alerts with voice, haptics, and user-directed prompts like Reduce Risk, Exit, Acknowledge, or Lock Trading.
SPY is 1.35R into a 1R plan.
Reduce risk now before the trade becomes a blow-up.
Behavioral Interventions
Surface risky behaviors such as adding to losers, size drift, revenge trades, unplanned trades, and ignored stops.
RulesFirst does not wait until the journal. It can identify live behavior drift while the position is still active, so traders can review the decision before risk escalates.
Position increased beyond plan.
RulesFirst catches behavior drift while the trade is still active.
Custom Rule Engine
Create personal trading rules like no 0DTE, no first-30-minute trades, no premarket trades, no after-hours trades, or max size limits.
When a custom rule appears to be triggered, RulesFirst can show a dedicated rule alert with symbol, position context, risk information, voice warning, and user-defined actions.
0DTE rule triggered.
QQQ violates your personal no-0DTE rule.
Daily Protection Rules
Max loss, max trades per day, rule-break counts, screen blockers, and Kill Switch workflows for the days discipline starts slipping.
RulesFirst can track daily rule breaks and show screen blockers after repeated violations. When a configured max-loss threshold is reached, Kill Switch mode creates a review pause inside RulesFirst.
