My objective with my Playbook Setups

My objective with my Best Playbook Trading Setups has always been about low-stress, high-probability, SCALABLE and SIZABLE setups. I want to make money. REAL MONEY.

Stop trying to predict direction

I used to hate myself for so many stupid things I've done in trading. I've done it all. The reality, however, was that I really didn't have a plan, I really didn't show up prepared, I didn't have setups, I didn't really respect the market and I didn't manage my risk. The reality was that I really had no business trading. I thought that by grabbing a few "pips" I really knew what I was doing. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Reality check

Trading is the hardest way to make easy money. I believed that if you worked hard at something you could achieve success. I had a blessed upbringing — my parents and extended family were and always have been incredibly supportive and loving. I have had EVERY opportunity in life. In most cases I always tended to succeed at what I pursued. THAT is not the case with trading. Working hard does not mean you will succeed in trading. In fact, it can be completely the opposite.

The market stripped me down to nothing, and revealed the true me to myself.

I had to rebuild myself — myself, my mind, and my trading

Through a slow and painful process of small breakthroughs and "aha" moments, I slowly climbed back up. One good trade at a time. I rewired my brain to look at the market and how to trade it in a completely different way.

My goal is not to know everything about the market. My goal is to make money. My thinking had to change.

You don't need to know what the market is going to do next to make money, but if you want to make money consistently over time, then you need to have an edge and be able to execute that edge impeccably, consistently, over time.

My Playbook has been a work in progress to achieve that result.

I had to keep discarding what I considered garbage from my trading. Trades I knew weren't realistically reproducible, nor scalable in size, in live trading.

I always ask myself: "how much size could I realistically put on this trade in real time, manage my risk, and not be stressed? Could I really hold this trade with size in real time?"

Build a bulletproof trading mindset and a routine with reproducible scalable setups

I needed to have trading setups that were about to explode, a process to help me identify these trades, and a routine and mindset to be patient and disciplined and only trade these setups and grow them in size over time.

I share all this with you because many of you are on your own journey too. I had some excellent mentors, many of whom may have shared just one golden nugget with me, but one that marked and permanently impacted me in my search for the Holy Grail in trading.

My Playbook of the Best Trading Setups are setups that are scalable in size, repeatable and frequent in ANY market.

My goal for you is that you can have an impact with your success. For your life, your family and friends, for generations to come.

Thank you for trusting me and having the confidence in me to buy this book. I have spent thousands of hours studying, testing and trading in real time to get to where I am now.

This Playbook has come from many years of continuous, joyful and painful learning.
