An overall much better book than the other one the author co wrote with a few others.

The author shares his journey into trading as a career, how he got into debt but yet maintained his sanity and got out ultimately.

I didn’t dwell too much into the technicals in the write up but appreciated his concepts on risk management, psychology, etc. I learnt how bad traders think vs fund managers, which explains why retail traders tend to do worse in trading.

Overall a highly recommended read for a holistic view of trading as a profession.

Full of grammatical errors and poor editing, the book is the usual spiel of self advertising for a semi-well known personality in singapore. Unfortunately his book would only be useful for absolute beginners, having a few genuinely good tips such as the importance of having stop losses etc. Otherwise, it is rife with confirmation bias when using charts as examples.

For example, a technique using ATR. The book doesn't explain how it derives the number but instead tells us, readers, to assume it as it is. By then I doubt we learn anything from the book
