What format is the Playbook?
A PDF file that opens on any phone, tablet or computer. You may print it for your own personal use.
How quickly will I receive it?
We email your download link within 24 hours of purchase, usually much sooner. If it hasn't arrived, check your spam folder or email [email protected].
Do I get future updates?
Yes. If we revise this edition, we'll email the updated file to existing customers at no extra cost.
How is it different from the free pattern guide on this site?
The free guide shows how to recognize each pattern and where it matters. The Playbook adds what the web pages leave out: what confirms or invalidates each pattern, the most common mistakes, a full chapter on context (trend, support and resistance, volume, timeframe), a study routine, a printable cheat sheet and a pattern journal, all in one 29-page PDF.
Which markets and timeframes does it apply to?
Candlestick charts are drawn the same way for stocks, ETFs, futures, forex and crypto, and on any timeframe, so the patterns are read the same way too. The book explains why candles on higher timeframes usually carry more weight. Examples use illustrated charts rather than specific tickers.
Do I need trading software or a brokerage account?
No. You only need a PDF reader to read the book. To practise, any free charting website that shows candlestick charts is enough.
How long does it take to read?
It's 29 pages, so most readers finish it in an afternoon. The cheat sheet and pattern journal are meant to be printed and used again and again.
Will this make me a profitable trader?
No product can promise that. The Playbook teaches you how to read candlestick charts. Trading involves substantial risk, and results depend on many factors outside any book. See our Risk Disclaimer.
Can I get a refund?
Because Chapter 1 is free to preview, sales are generally final once delivered. We always refund duplicate charges, non-delivery and files we can't fix. See the Refund Policy.
