A look inside

The concepts the book is built on.

Three ideas from inside the guide, shown the way they're taught.

RESISTANCE → SUPPORT Breakout on volume Retest holds
Ch. 3 – 5

Wait for confirmation

A break alone isn't a trade. Volume behind the move and a level that holds on the retest is what turns a guess into a setup.

Target · +2R Entry Stop · −1R Risk is decided before the entry — never after.
Ch. 6

Plan the loss first

No strategy wins every time. Decide where you're wrong, size the position to that number, and let the target do the rest.

REWARD : RISK → WIN RATE NEEDED TO BREAK EVEN
1 : 1
50%
1 : 2
33%
1 : 3
25%
1 : 4
20%
Simple math, before fees and slippage. Not a result.
Ch. 6

Think like the house

Casinos win with a small edge repeated over time. When your winners are bigger than your losers, you don't need to be right most of the time.

Charts are illustrative teaching examples, not real trades.

About the author

Written by someone who trades it live.

Shahryar came to Canada as an international student, earned his M.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and worked as a senior data scientist before moving into trading full time.

He co-founded Meta Trading Club in Toronto to teach what he had to learn the hard way: trading is a skill built on structure, risk control and repeatable process. This book is that process, written down.

Questions before you download

What level is this written for?

It starts with chart basics so newer traders can follow, but most of the book goes well past that — risk and sizing, execution, psychology, options Greeks and volatility, multi-timeframe planning and watchlists. Experienced traders get the most from chapters 6–10 and the bonus sections.
