Backtest IT: Stock Market Trading as a Professional Operator: Risk, Probability, and Process
Most trading books teach you what to trade.
This one teaches you how to think like a professional operator.
Backtest It is not a shortcut, a strategy book, or a promise of profits.
It is a disciplined, test-driven framework for trading futures and ETF options built around risk control, probability, and repeatable process.
Markets do not reward prediction.
They reward those who can survive uncertainty long enough for probability to work.
This book is written for traders who are done chasing indicators, signals, and narratives — and are ready to operate with structure, restraint, and accountability.
Inside, you will
• What markets actually are — auctions driven by liquidity, urgency, and participation
• Why individual trades are meaningless, but sequences determine everything
• How futures and options differ at the level that actually obligation vs right
• Why leverage and margin quietly destroy undisciplined traders
• How expectancy works — and why win rate lies
• How to design, test, validate, and scale a trading system without emotional interference
• How professionals manage drawdowns, execution pressure, and recovery
• Why longevity — not intensity — is the real edge
This book does not give
• Trade signals
• Guaranteed setups
• A “winning strategy” to copy
It gives you something more
An architecture in which your strategy can live, be tested, refined, and scaled — without destroying you in the process.
If you are looking for certainty, this book is not for you.
If you are serious about trading as a professional operation — grounded in math, discipline, and process — this book was written for you.
