We kept breaking
our own rules.
Not because we didn't know better. We knew exactly what we were doing wrong - we were doing it consciously. But in the moment, the market made everything feel different. The setup was "close enough." The loss was recoverable. One more trade was justifiable.
We tried every journal on the market. They all tracked the same things: entry, exit, P&L, notes. None of them tracked whether we followed our own rules. None of them asked: was this trade in your playbook? Did you break your limit to take it? How many times this week have you deviated from your plan?
So we built Rulebook. Starting with the most important question we could ask ourselves:
"What if the journal itself enforced the rules?"
What if the button to add a trade physically locked when you'd had enough? What if your playbook lived where you trade - not in a notebook on a shelf - and you reviewed it every morning before the bell? What if discipline was a measurable score, not a feeling?
That's what we built. And it changed how we trade. We think it'll change how you trade too.
