Traders Diary

A Year in the Life of a Stock Trader

This book provides a detailed description of one of my trading methods with no holds barred.

You get a detailed description of one of my methods together with some examples of real life trades, both winning and losing.

The period covered is 1st March 2021 to 1st March 2022, a period where we saw plenty of stock market volatility with the spread of Covid around the world and various government responses to it, and world events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

You'll see how I returned 17.58% over the period when most major indices returned around half that.

You’ll see what I trade, why I trade it and the results from each trade. This is the experiment - the ultimate test. No reliance on back-tests etc. These are real trades with real money. Win or lose, you’ll see it all.
