How does the daily Rulebook trade log limit lock work?

You decide how many trades you're allowed per day. When you reach that number, the Add Trade button physically locks - no overrides, no workarounds. It enforces your own rule so you don't have to fight yourself in a moment of FOMO or revenge trading.

For beginner & struggling traders

How it works

Built around the one
thing most traders lack.

Build your Playbook

Write down your A+ setups - entry rules, confirmation signals, what to avoid. This becomes your trading constitution. Print it. Own it.

Set your daily trade limit

Decide how many trades you're allowed per day - and Rulebook enforces it. The Add Trade button locks when you hit your limit. No overrides.

Review your Playbook daily

PRO members get a morning reminder with their full Playbook before markets open. Start every session knowing exactly what you're looking for.

Track rule adherence, not just P&L

After each trade, log whether you followed your rules. Rulebook tracks your discipline score alongside your returns - because long-term profit follows process.

Hit milestones. Commemorate them.

50 disciplined trades. 100. 365 days of following your plan. When you hit yours, we'll help you make it permanent - with a Plaque of Legacy.

You followed your rules
a hundred times over.

Most traders never get here. They overtrade, they revenge trade, they break their own rules on a Tuesday when the market does something stupid. You didn't. That deserves something real - something you can hold, hang on a wall, and remember on the days when discipline is hard.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you start building your discipline stack.

What is Rulebook and how is it different from other trading journals?

Rulebook is the only trading journal that focuses on execution quality over profit. Rate every trade 1–5 stars based on how well you followed your rules - not your P&L. Most journals track your money. Rulebook tracks your discipline, which is what actually determines your long-term results.

How does the daily trade limit lock work?

You decide how many trades you're allowed per day. When you reach that number, the Add Trade button physically locks - no overrides, no workarounds, no "just one more." It enforces your own rule so you don't have to fight yourself in a moment of FOMO or revenge trading.

Can I use Rulebook for prop firm trading?

Absolutely. Rulebook is purpose-built for prop firm traders. Track multiple funded accounts side by side, monitor drawdown limits in real time, and maintain the strict execution discipline required to pass evaluations at FTMO, TopStep, FundedNext, The5ers, and others - and stay funded once you're in.

What instruments does Rulebook support?

Rulebook supports every instrument you trade: futures (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, CL), forex pairs, US and international stocks, options, crypto, and commodities. If you trade it, you can journal it.

Is there a free plan?

Yes - and it's genuinely free, forever. The free plan includes unlimited trade records, a full playbook builder, daily trade limit enforcement, rule checklists per trade, emotion tagging, and a printable Playbook. No credit card required, no trial period. Upgrade to PRO when you want discipline scores, streaks, analytics, and milestone badges.

What is a Plaque of Legacy?

A Plaque of Legacy is a custom-engraved acrylic award you earn when you hit a major milestone inside Rulebook.Trade - 50 disciplined trades, 100, or 365 days of following your plan. It's made by our sister brand PlaqueOfLegacy.com and ships worldwide. Because 100 disciplined trades deserves something you can actually hold.
