Six guides. No cost, and nothing to fill in but your email.
They are the parts of the method that do not change week to week: the rules, the arithmetic, the routines. The letters cover this week. These cover how any week gets traded.
How to get them. Click any one and it opens its own page. Subscribe free if you have not already, and the download appears on the same page. One email, all six, and you keep getting the letters three times a week.
Read them in this order
They hand off to each other, so the order does most of the work. If you only read one, read the first.
1. 20 Rules I Trade By
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
Twenty rules, one per page, each with the reason it exists and something to try on your own trades. These are the rules every setup on the Desk has to pass before it gets written down, and most of them exist because breaking them cost me money first.
27 pages. About twenty minutes. Start here.
2. The Position Sizing Cheat Sheet
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
How much to buy, worked out properly, for stocks, forex, indices and crypto. Decide the stop from the chart first and the size falls out of it. There is a printable card at the back for your phone.
Sizing is the one part of trading that is pure arithmetic, which makes it the one part you can get right every single time.
12 pages.
3. The Pre-Trade Checklist
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
Fifteen checks on one printable page, run before every click. Trend, trigger, stop, reward, size, reason.
One empty box means no trade. That is the whole rule, and it is the cheapest way I know to stop the trades that were never setups in the first place.
10 pages.
4. Surviving a Losing Streak
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
What a normal bad run actually looks like at your win rate, worked out rather than guessed at. Then what a run costs, how to tell a broken method from an ordinary streak, and the short list of things worth changing while you are in one.
Most people quit a method during a run the maths says to expect.
15 pages.
5. Passing a Prop Challenge
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
Trailing drawdown against static, the daily loss limit, the risk per trade an evaluation can actually survive, and how many trades a profit target really takes at your expectancy.
Every rule in a challenge is a number in dollars. This turns each one into that number before you pay the fee.
16 pages.
6. The 200 Week Buy Zone
Subscribe for Free and the download unlocks here.
The long-term method, for the money you are not trading. Five checks that decide whether today is an entry, levels measured out from the 200 week EMA in the asset’s own weekly ATR, and a routine that runs once a week.
No leverage, weekly candles, and a worked example from the scan.
16 pages.
