What is a rule-break tracker?

A rule-break tracker logs every violation of your trading guidelines — no stop loss, oversizing, revenge trades — with the loss each break caused, so you can see which single rule costs you the most.

Why do I keep breaking my trading rules?

Most rule-breaks come from emotional triggers: revenge after a loss, boredom, greed after wins, or trading when the daily cap is already close. Tracking the emotion column alongside the rule reveals the trigger pattern.

How many trading rules should I have?

Keep the enforced list short — the 19 guidelines here are the full set; most traders actively enforce 5-7 of them per trade (risk %, stop, RR, daily cap, news blackout, position size). Fewer, enforced rules beat a long list you skip.

Rule-Break Tracker

Every trader has one rule they break on repeat — usually the one that causes most of their losses. Log each break honestly, and this tool shows the pattern, your clean-day streak, and the cost. Based on the 19 Forex Trading Guidelines.

The Honest-Log Principle

The rule-break column is the most valuable field in any journal — it converts a losing month into a diagnosis. If your tracker says "Below 1:2 RR" appears in 8 of your last 10 losing trades, the fix is not a new indicator; it's waiting for the 2R setup (Guideline 4). Track for 30 days, then review: your most-broken rule is your single highest-leverage improvement. Combine with the pre-trade checklist to catch breaks before they happen.
