Vincent, a gray-haired veteran trader character, in a study lined with books

Two digital books for futures traders

Master yourself before you master the market.

Trading is more than reading charts. It's managing risk, controlling impulses and executing with discipline. Two short books turn that into written rules you can follow.

See the two books

Both books $69, save $19

No signals. No profit promises. Rules you can follow.

Your strategy isn't always the problem.

You know your setup. You've written your rules. And then a session goes like this.

It's 9:52. Your first trade just hit its stop. You were fine with it. Then you weren't. Three trades later, the day's loss is four times what you planned.

Your funded account is a few hundred dollars from its first payout. One normal losing day, sized a little too big, and the floor is closer than the payout.

Neither one is a strategy problem. One is a decision made when you're no longer seeing clearly. The other is risk set from the size on the account, not the room it really has.

The moments where rules usually break

  • The trade after a loss. Where revenge trading starts.
  • The big win. Confidence turns into size.
  • The trade you missed. Price runs, and you chase it late.
  • The quiet session. Nothing sets up, and your hand finds a trade anyway.
  • Trading like you need the money. The bill decides the size, not the plan.
  • Risk set from the account size. The room before the drawdown floor is much smaller.

Each of these moments has its own chapter in the books.

Close portrait of Vincent, the series character

The voice is a character. The rules are real.

Vincent speaks the way a patient, experienced trader would: calm, direct, without hype. One idea runs through both books. Control the trader first. The account follows.

Self-control
A rule only counts if you follow it when it's hard.
Patience
No valid setup, no trade. A planned day without a trade can be a good day.
Risk first
Decide what a trade may cost before you look for the next one.
Consistent execution
Same checklist, same limits, every session. Judge the process, not one result.

Who these books are for

For you if

  • You already have a defined way to trade.
  • You overtrade, or break your own rules under pressure.
  • You trade futures in your own account, an evaluation or a funded account.
  • You want rules you can check yourself against, not motivation.

Not for you if

  • You're looking for signals, entries or a new strategy.
  • You want someone to promise you'll pass, get paid or become profitable. Nobody can honestly promise that. These books don't.

Questions

Are these physical or digital books?

Digital. Both books are PDFs. Book 1 also includes a link to make your own copy of the 30-Day Trading Discipline Journal in Google Sheets.

How will I receive my purchase?

[[PENDING: written after the checkout and delivery test in Phase 3.]]

Can I buy just one book?

Yes. Each book is sold on its own. Book 2 stands on its own and summarizes the daily rules from Book 1. If you read both, start with Book 1.

What's included in the bundle?

Master Yourself First (49-page PDF), the 30-Day Trading Discipline Journal (Google Sheets), and Protect Your Capital First (71-page PDF).

Are the books suitable for beginners?

They're written for traders who already have a defined way to trade. Neither book teaches a strategy. If you're still learning your setup, they'll make more sense once you have one.

Do the books guarantee trading success?

No. Nobody can honestly promise profits, passed evaluations or payouts. The books give you rules, tools and a record of whether you followed them.

Can I read them on my phone?

Yes. The PDFs open on any phone, tablet or computer. The journal works best on a computer, and you can update it from the Google Sheets app.

Do I need a Google account?

Only for the Book 1 journal. A free account is enough. The PDFs don't need one.

Does Book 2 name prop firms?

No. It uses a fictional example firm. Firms change their rules, prices and payout terms, so you copy your own firm's current rules into a sheet in the book.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's educational. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.

Can I get a refund?

Because the files are delivered instantly, all sales are final once they're delivered. If a file doesn't open or a link doesn't work, contact us and it will be fixed or refunded.

Will I pay sales tax?

Depending on where you live, tax may be added at checkout.
