Trading concepts, explained in plain English.
Six volumes covering 140 essential trading terms — built from years of helping new traders make sense of markets. Available as ebooks now. Paperback editions coming later in 2026.
Why I wrote these
Most beginners don’t fail at trading because they pick the wrong stock or use the wrong indicator. They fail because nobody ever explained the basic vocabulary of markets to them in plain English — and because trading psychology is harder than any chart pattern. Both are fixable. Neither is glamorous.
These six books cover what I wish someone had handed me when I started. Each volume is a focused collection of essential terms, explained the way a thoughtful friend would explain them. No jargon for the sake of jargon. No false confidence. No commercial pressure to push you toward any broker, platform, or strategy. Just plain-English explanations with diagrams, worked examples, and honest acknowledgment of what’s hard.
