Trading Without a Boss

The Prop Firm Routine for Independent Traders

Are you tired of blowing up accounts, breaking your own rules, and watching the same mistakes destroy your trading over and over again?

You know what to do. You've read the books. You understand setups, risk management, maybe even trading psychology. But you can't stay consistent. You quit early when you feel like it. You revenge trade after one red candle. You tell yourself you'll follow the plan tomorrow—and then tomorrow comes and you do the same thing all over again.

The problem isn't your strategy. It's that you're operating without accountability.

Written by Max Drawdown, a trader with 25 years of experience and a track record of coaching retail traders through the exact patterns that blow up accounts, this book gives you the infrastructure that prop firm traders at SMB Capital and Trillium use every single day—the routine, the Daily Report Card, the self-assessment framework, and the accountability system that keeps them disciplined when no one's watching.

In this book you will discover how to:

• Build the 3-act daily routine (pre-market, market hours, post-market) that forces you to show up like a professional—even without a manager
• Use the Daily Report Card to find the solution to today's underperformance before you leave your desk (this is the self-coaching engine that separates pros from amateurs)
• Identify your biggest constraint using the 3-filter system and focus all your effort on solving it (not wasting time on the wrong problems)
• Create a "synthetic trading floor" with automated risk limits, a trading pod, and an engineered environment that stops you from self-destructing
• Adapt the routine for big days (Fed, CPI), bad days (tilt, losses), and when you're sick or tired—without abandoning the process
• Use evaluation accounts the right way: build the discipline first, extract payouts second, and fund your own trading account over 6-12 months

This isn't another psychology book telling you to "manage your emotions." This is the exact operating system used by professional traders who survive for decades—not just lucky months.

If you can't trade your own capital without blowing it up, you're not a trader yet. This book shows you how to change that.

Stop winging it. Start operating like a professional.
