Define the process you intend to follow, evaluate each trade against it, and separate a profitable outcome from a compliant decision.

001 // RULES + COMPLIANCE
A SCORE FOR THE PROCESS, NOT A PROMISE ABOUT THE RESULT.
Stonk Journal currently describes 10 rule types across risk, discipline, and behavior. Rules are evaluated as a trade is built, violations are flagged, and a weighted compliance score records which trades followed the plan. That score measures process adherence—even when the trade made money.
SUPPORTED PUBLIC EXAMPLES / MAX RISK PER TRADE / MAX POSITION SIZE / MAX DAILY LOSS / MINIMUM RISK-REWARD / BEHAVIORAL RULES
FROM A WRITTEN RULE TO A REVIEWABLE TRADE.
01 / DEFINE THE RULE
Choose the threshold or behavior that represents your actual plan for an account.
02 / EVALUATE THE TRADE
Current product copy states that compliance is checked while the trade is being built.
03 / RECORD COMPLIANCE
Weighted scoring records whether the process matched the plan, separate from P&L.
04 / REVIEW THE BREAKS
Filter the journal by rule-compliance state or the rule that was broken and look for repetition.
COMPLIANT LOSS ≠ BAD PROCESS
A trade can follow every rule and still lose. Compliance helps review whether you executed the plan; it does not certify the strategy or guarantee a profitable outcome.
TRACKER ≠ BROKER ENFORCEMENT
These rules live in the journal. They do not replace broker controls, prop-firm monitoring, or independent verification of a firm’s current loss and drawdown rules.

RISK-RULE FAQ
What kinds of risk rules are publicly documented?
The current homepage names maximum risk per trade, maximum position size, maximum daily loss, minimum risk-reward, plus broader discipline and behavior rules.
What does the compliance score mean?
It is a weighted process score showing whether a trade followed the rules you defined. It is not a profitability forecast.
Can I review only rule-breaking trades?
Yes. Current product copy says the journal can filter by rule-compliance state and by the rule that was broken.
Do these rules guarantee I will be profitable?
No. Rules help evaluate process. Markets remain uncertain, and a compliant trade can still lose.
MAKE THE PLAN REVIEWABLE.
