How I built my trading career as a finance outsider

A free case study covering how I went from engineer with no finance background to equity partner in a proprietary trading firm, and why I cashed out to trade my own money from home.

I made most of the classic mistakes along the way. The case study documents all of them, plus the lessons that would have saved me years if I’d had them at the start.

If you’re a solo trader, or thinking about becoming one, it’s for you.

“This mini-book is outstanding because of the raw honesty, reflection, tactics, and rare play-by-play of what it looks like to go from not even knowing what you don’t know to zeroing in on the right ways to think about trading. Takes less than an hour to read. Much less if your brain is in airplane mode.”
