Preface

Embarking on a professional journey in the world of financial market trading is like setting sail on an adventurous voyage: captivating on one side, but dangerous on the other. You will set off, or perhaps you’ve already set off, along with many others who share the same goal: the treasure island, symbolizing your professional success determined by financial performance. Know that very few will make it, as storms, lack of food, exhaustion, mutinies, and daily disappointments will lead the luckiest to give up before they shipwreck.

Along the journey, you might encounter pirates and sharks—people who will try to exploit your good faith. Ignore them and stay on your course, following your map. This book will teach you how to build your own personal map to navigate because having an action plan during the inevitable financial and psychological drawdowns will save your life.

Try not to work alone because, on such a difficult journey, you’ll need trustworthy companions by your side. Remember that software, algorithms, and AI models are just tools—don’t fall in love with them, and be ready to change them if you realize they’re not helping you achieve your true goal: navigating the markets with peace of mind.
