Live Monitoring
Monitor supported open positions and account activity against the plan, risk boundaries, and rules you defined.
RulesFirst for MetaTrader
Live risk management for MT4 and MT5 traders.
Keep trading through your broker's MetaTrader terminal. RulesFirst monitors supported account activity, compares live execution with your plan, and alerts you when risk or trading behavior begins to drift.
Compatible with eligible accounts across hundreds of MT4 and MT5 brokers and prop firms. Exact availability depends on the broker, trade server, permissions, region, and account configuration.
MetaTrader capabilities
Keep execution in MetaTrader. Put RulesFirst around the process.
Behavior And Risk Alerts
Surface unplanned trades, position-size drift, Frozen 1R deviations, repeated entries, and configured behavioral conditions.
Daily AutoSync
Sync eligible completed trades into the RulesFirst journal for review, analytics, notes, tags, and behavioral context.
How it works
One read-only connection. A clearer risk process.
RulesFirst does not replace the MetaTrader terminal or your broker. It adds planning, live awareness, journaling, and review around supported account activity.

- 02Choose the account RulesFirst should use for Live Monitoring.
- 03Keep trading through your broker's MetaTrader terminal as usual.
- 04Review supported live alerts while RulesFirst compares activity with your plan.
- 05Use Daily AutoSync to bring eligible completed trades into your journal.

Broker-dependent market coverage
Eligible accounts may expose Forex and supported CFD instruments. Exact symbols, market families, pricing, and history are determined by the connected broker, server, and account. RulesFirst does not present every MetaTrader instrument as universally supported.
Read-only by design
RulesFirst accepts Investor/read-only access. It cannot place, modify, cancel, or close MetaTrader trades, and it does not move funds or custody assets. You remain responsible for every order and trading decision.
RulesFirst Pro
MetaTrader connection limits, stated clearly.
RulesFirst Pro includes up to three managed MT4 or MT5 accounts with Daily AutoSync and Live Monitoring on one explicitly selected account at a time. MetaTrader connectivity requires an active paid Pro subscription, is not included in the free trial, and activates after a successful paid invoice.
