Observe the event
When supported live monitoring is active, RulesFirst compares applicable position and execution activity with the plan and rules you defined.
Behavioral Pattern Detection

Frequency shows what happened most often. Distribution makes it easier to see whether one behavior dominates the review or risk is spread across several patterns.

From event to evidence
A single rule break is a moment. Repetition makes it a pattern.
RulesFirst keeps the live event connected to the review that follows, so a trader can move from noticing a mistake to studying when and how often it returns.
02
Keep the evidence connected
Applicable events remain connected to the trade, time, rule, and available decision evidence instead of becoming an isolated alert.
03
Review the pattern
Repeated events are grouped into patterns so you can open the trades behind the count and decide what to address next.
Questions the evidence can answer
Review the behavior behind the result.
A count becomes useful when you can return to the related trades, inspect the circumstances, and decide which rule deserves more attention.
Which stops do I ignore most often?
When does my position size move beyond plan?
How often do I begin an unplanned trade?
Does adding to losing positions keep repeating?
Which rules improve after deliberate review?
Availability and control
The evidence supports your review. You remain in control.
Live event detection depends on the supported integration, connected account, available data, and monitoring status. RulesFirst does not place, modify, cancel, or close trades and does not decide whether a trade is good or bad.
