When you were born, you didn’t know how to walk, talk, write, or read.

Nobody was born with a preinstalled “Trader 2.0” program 🙂

We all had to learn trading and making money from scratch.

Today, access to information and knowledge is easier than ever.
We’re actually flooded with info, and the real challenge isn’t finding it – it’s choosing the right sources.

I struggled with that for years, and often wished I had the knowledge back then that I have now.
Too bad I didn’t come across a book like this back then.

It’s human nature to want to share what we’ve learned.
That’s exactly what this book is – a collection of knowledge and experience from someone who’s already reached the goal and wants to give something back.

So if you’re already on your way or just starting out in trading, let me tell you: you can do it – as long as you’re willing to put in the work.

Things that matter usually aren’t handed to you on a silver platter 🙂

Simply put, there are 3 key areas every Trader needs to master and develop.

• Psychology – the hardest one, and the one most people struggle with, not just in the beginning.
• Risk and capital management – in other words, Money Management.
• And trading technique – when to enter, how to manage the trade, and when to exit.

Most people start from the wrong end because they think “when to enter” is the key.
I started that way too – and now I know it was a bad idea 🙂

Start with understanding psychology, build solid risk management rules, and only then move on to the technical side.

When you trade, you’ll be aware of what’s going on in your head and know what to work on – because you’ve already read about it.
Good risk management lets you make mistakes without going bust right away.
If you stay in the game long enough, without getting knocked out, you’ll be able to identify your weak spots, fix them, and build your professionalism step by step.

NO.

Of course, some basic skills will help – and most people who go into trading already have them:

• reading comprehension
• basic math
• knowing how to use tools like Excel or any spreadsheet

But more important than any specific skill is your attitude: curiosity, drive, consistency, and perseverance.

If you don’t know something, you can Google it, ask ChatGPT, find a good book, or ask someone who’s been there and done it. You’ll figure out what skills you actually need once you start diving into trading.

Start now – and fill in the gaps as you go.

From zero to “it depends.”

If you’re asking this kind of question, chances are you’re completely new to trading.
At this stage, there’s no way to realistically estimate how much money you’d need to live off trading.

In the book, I explain it in detail, run simulations, show comparisons, and give you an actual answer.

But the more important question isn’t about the money – it’s about you.

What are you capable of? What skills do you have?
And what’s your potential when it comes to generating profits?
That’s where the real answer lies.

If you're a good Trader, you might not have your own capital and still make money.
You can join proprietary trading firms and trade using someone else’s capital.
You can build your own capital step by step, starting small...

There are plenty of ways – but the core question is: are you ready?

If you are, you’ll find a way.

If not – then asking how much capital you need is pointless, because you’ll just end up losing that money.

You’ll have to decide for yourself if trading is something you’re built for – and if there’s a real chance you can handle it.

So who would I not recommend this book to?

To people who are lazy and just looking for “easy ways to make millions in 3 minutes.”
Trading is not a profession you learn in one afternoon.
It’s not a shortcut to easy money without effort.

This book has over 300 pages – and if that makes you think “that’s too much to read,”then maybe think twice before choosing trading as your path in life.
If reading 300 pages was all it took to succeed in trading, it would be a quick and easy fix. But if you really want to become a Trader, there’s a lot more work and learning ahead than just reading this book once.
The book is just the beginning.

Decide whether you’re ready to learn, search for answers, and work on yourself...
If yes, this book can help you a lot – I recommend it.

There are no crowds at the top.
The way up is long, tough, and takes sacrifice.
At the bottom stand those who only dream of what it feels like to be at the top.
They look up, but they don’t move.
It’s easier to find an excuse than to make the effort.

One more thing.
If money is your only motivation, you’re going to struggle.
Trading demands a lot of inner work, effort to tame your bad habits, impulses, and destructive behaviors.
It requires discipline, persistence, and hours spent on analysis – with no thrill, no entertainment.

This is not easy or pleasant money.
It’s a very specific and demanding craft.
If you want to master it, you’ll eventually reach a level that brings real satisfaction.
But it’s usually something very different than what you imagine at the start.
It’s more like being a sniper – lots of waiting, analysis, observation… and not every shot brings a profit.
You need to be tough, stubborn, consistent, resilient.
You need to analyze the market, yourself, your strategy, your methods... it’s a lot of work.

And honestly?
I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else... 🙂

The best place to start is with a conscious decision whether you really want to get into trading.

In my book, there’s a ton of insight about the struggles and challenges we face in trading as regular people.

I’m confident that after reading it, not only will you be able to make an informed decision about whether this path is for you – but you’ll also know how to deal with the problems that will most likely come up.
That’s where I think you should start: with a conscious choice and a clear understanding of what trading is really about.

This book will also help prepare you mentally. It will make you aware of the psychological challenges you’ll probably face – and show you how to deal with them.

It’ll also get you ready on the risk and capital management side. Money Management won’t be some mysterious term anymore. You’ll learn how to survive that tough early phase where you’re still not technically or mentally a pro.
If you stick to the MM rules consistently, you’ll give yourself a real shot at making it through the early mistakes without blowing your account.

That leaves one more thing: the trading technique. When to enter, how to manage a trade, when to exit...
That’s actually the easiest part of a Trader’s education. In the book, you’ll find tips on how to test which methods actually work and give you a statistical edge.
I also explain how I personally approach technical analysis – and why.

If you’re willing – you can absolutely do this.
