How it helps

Thirty rules, each with its arithmetic

Every rule comes with the numbers behind it, as a table, a chart or a worked calculation, so you can see why it matters and apply it to your own account.

Worked examples you can follow line by line

An invented trader applies each rule to invented instruments with synthetic prices: position sizes, gaps, leverage, costs and weekly reviews, worked out in rupees. The arithmetic is the same in any currency.

Practice, then put it on paper

20 exercises with full answers, and 9 printable forms in A4 and US Letter turn the rules into a routine: your own rules, a plan card and checklist before each trade, a loss tracker during the day and a review each week.

Education only

No tips, no real securities and no promised results. It teaches how risk is measured and how to keep to your own rules; SEBI's derivatives risk disclosure is quoted in full inside.

Questions

Does this handbook tell me what to trade?

No. It never names a real security, price or contract and gives no view to buy, sell or hold anything. Every example uses invented instruments and synthetic prices.

Is it for beginners?

Yes, and for anyone who trades without written rules. Part 1 needs only basic arithmetic, and the answers to every exercise show the workings.

Which markets do the rules apply to?

Shares, futures, options and currencies. The examples are in rupees; the arithmetic is the same in any currency.

What files do I get?

The handbook as an A4 PDF (72 pages), a US Letter PDF and an EPUB for reading apps; the 9 worksheets as separate A4 and US Letter PDFs; the licence and the changelog.

Can I print it?

Yes, for your own use, including the worksheets as often as you need them.

Write to support@mysmartcopilot.com. Fixes of errors in this edition are free from your order page.
