The Retail Trader

Most trading books tell you what the market is. This one tells you how to survive it.

The Retail Trader is a no-nonsense guide written by an independent trader who built a profitable system from scratch — no insider connections, no financial degree, no borrowed capital. Just charts, discipline, and years of backtesting.

The book is split into two parts. The first tackles the one opponent most traders never prepare for: themselves. Fear, greed, overtrading, and the noise of social media and financial news — these are the real reasons most retail traders lose. Before any strategy is introduced, the book addresses the mental game that determines everything.

The second part introduces a systematic, rules-based approach to trading Bitcoin spot — a method the author has used profitably every year since 2021. It is built around high time frames, two free indicators, and a clear set of entry, exit, and invalidation rules that can be followed by anyone, regardless of experience.

This is not a book about getting rich quickly. It is a book about getting it right — consistently, calmly, and on your own terms.
