You are not a bad trader.

You were never given a system. That's it — not a psychology flaw, not a bad strategy, a missing playbook. This is thirty pages of pre-written rules that run on paper, not on willpower, so you stop breaching daily loss on hour three of your next challenge.

REAL TRADERS. REAL SCREENSHOTS.

Before the Playbook. And after.

Same trader, same market — one had rules on paper, the other didn't.

"I sat through a 40-pip stopout on Tuesday morning and just closed the laptop. Six months ago I would have doubled down and blown the account by lunch."

"Broke my own rule and shorted after two losses on Wednesday. The cooldown protocol stopped me from doing it again on Thursday. That was a first."

What's actually inside.

Every module was built from a specific way traders blow accounts — and closes it.

The Pre-Trade Checklist

Nine questions you answer out loud before every entry — designed to catch the FOMO trade, the revenge trade, and the "I already know the setup" trade before you click buy. Removes decision-making at the exact moment your judgment is worst.

Prop-Firm Proof

The Daily Loss Circuit Breaker

A hard-stop protocol mapped to FTMO, Apex, TopStep, MFF, TFT and E8 daily loss rules — with a specific dollar figure per account size that shuts your platform before the firm does. The single rule that saves the most challenges.

The Revenge-Trade Fix

The Post-Loss Cooldown Protocol

A four-step sequence you run after every stopped-out trade — walk away, log the trade, name the emotion, then re-enter only if the checklist passes. Written for the exact 90-second window where the revenge trade is born.

Math Under Stress

The Position Sizing Rules

Pre-calculated position sizes tied to your account balance and stop distance — no math in the heat of the moment, no "let me just add a bit more this time." Includes a printable lookup table for futures, forex, and options contract sizes.

The Weekly Journal Template

Not another blank spreadsheet — a filled-in template with the seven specific fields that surface your real patterns after six sessions. Built so you actually keep using it past week two, which is where every other trading journal dies.

Rules beat willpower. Every time.


Every course teaches you a strategy and hopes discipline will glue it together. Every psychology book tells you why you break your own rules — then leaves you to write them. The Playbook is the rules themselves, already written, already sequenced, already tied to specific moments in the trade. You are not being asked to remember anything under pressure. You are being asked to check a sheet.

Testimonials

  • ★★★★★

    Passed on attempt 5

    I'd blown four MFF accounts before I found this. Passed my fifth FTMO in three weeks. Not because I got better — because I stopped making the same three moves.

    — Damon K., FX day trader

  • ★★★★★

    No more revenge trades

    The post-loss protocol is what saved me. Took a full R stopout on Monday, walked to the kitchen, made coffee, and did not open the platform until Wednesday. I would never have done that six months ago.

    —Priya S., futures trader

  • ★★★★★

    Finally has a process

    I have been 'learning to trade' for two years and this is the first thing I've read that told me what to do at 9:31 AM instead of what to know by Sunday night

    —Alex M., part-time swing trader

Everything we get asked before people buy — answered straight.

Is this just another eBook?

No. It's 30 pages of written rules, not 300 pages of theory. You read it in an evening and check it every session. If you want something to skim once and shelve, buy something else.

Who wrote this?

Jay — a retail trader who blew four prop-firm accounts before he built a system he could actually follow. His name, face, and story are on the About page. No fake credentials.

Why is it only $9?

Because you've already spent $50–$500 per failed challenge. If we priced it like a course, you'd rightly assume it's another one. It isn't.

Does this work for FTMO, Apex, TopStep, MFF?

Yes. There's a dedicated chapter mapping every rule to each firm's daily loss, trailing drawdown, and consistency rules. Explicit callouts for FTMO, Apex, TopStep, MFF, TFT, and E8.

How is this different from Trading in the Zone?

Mark Douglas explains why you break your rules. The Playbook gives you the rules. Both are useful. Only one tells you what to do at 9:31 AM.

What if I follow it and still fail my next challenge?

Send us your journal within 30 days and we'll refund you and cover your next challenge attempt. Full terms in the guarantee section.

Do I need to trade a specific market or timeframe?

No. The rules work on any market — futures, forex, options, crypto, equities — and any timeframe. The examples cover both intraday and swing.
