You already know
it's about psychology.
Now do something
about it.

Pause. This is your revenge loop.
You're 27 seconds from placing a third trade after two stop-outs. Your re-entry time is a third of normal. Your size is up.

The behavioral layer
Not a journal. Not a blocker.
A behavioral risk layer.

Journals show what happened after the damage is done. Rule blockers stop trades without teaching you the pattern. PsyRule shows the behavioral sequence behind your worst sessions, so you can fix the cause, not just restrict the action.

WHY THIS EXISTS

I failed prop firm challenges before I admitted it wasn't the strategy. It was me, at 11:02am, after a stop-out. PsyRule is the tool I wish had existed then.

01Your pattern is specific

Generic discipline advice
does not work because
your pattern is specific.

Here's the most common one. The loop that ends most prop-firm challenges.

01
Revenge loop
First loss→ shorter wait→ larger size→ second loss

A losing trade compresses your re-entry time and inflates your sizing. The second trade is rarely the recovery you imagined.

Pre-session behavioral check-in

Why it matters: The decisions that blow up a session are made before it starts. Sleep, focus, and your plan predict your sizing more than anything that happens on the chart.
Personal danger-zone alerts
✕✕✕lot calc only✓
Why it matters: Most blowups aren't one bad trade. They're three open positions that together exceed the limit, and a per-trade calculator can't see this.
Mental state → outcome correlation
✕✕✕✕✓
Why it matters: "I traded worse when tired" is a hunch. Connecting mood, sleep, and pressure to actual session outcomes turns the hunch into a rule you'll follow.

Why it matters: Generic advice ("size down after a loss") is easy to ignore. A pattern named with your trigger, your sequence, and your historical cost is harder to.

03The reckoning

Four loops. One running tally.

Modeled from internal beta and historical data, not customer averages. Your numbers will differ. The shape will not.

PsyRule's job is to surface the loop before it costs you the next number on this page.

03Common questions

Three things worth knowing
before you sign up.

Does this work if I trade futures, forex, or indices?

Yes. PsyRule syncs with MT5, cTrader, and NinjaTrader.

What if my pattern isn't one of the four?

Founding members vote on the next detector. The roadmap is shaped by the first 100 traders.

What if I ignore the pause?

You can override in one click. PsyRule's job is awareness, not restriction. It surfaces the loop, then it's your call.
