My Book

The trading book nobody else would write

Most trading books are written by people who want you to think they’ve cracked the code. This one is written by a British bloke with Early-Onset Parkinson’s Disease, a service dog named Purple, and four years of hard-won experience that includes more losses than any guru would admit to.

“How To Suck As A Day Trader” is the book I wished existed when I started. Honest, practical, and written for real people — especially those operating under constraints like chronic illness, cognitive challenges, or just a brain that doesn’t always cooperate.

What’s in it

The psychology of trading that nobody warns you about — and why Parkinson’s actually taught me to manage it better
How to build a strategy that works around fatigue, brain fog, and unpredictable symptom days
The mistakes that cost me real money — documented so you don’t have to repeat them
How to use AI tools to compensate for cognitive limitations and improve decision-making
Why the guru culture is a trap — and what to do instead
Building a Standard Operating Procedure that keeps emotions out of your trades

Who it’s for

This book is for anyone operating under constraints. That includes people with chronic illness or disability who need a home-based income strategy that works around their condition, carers and partners who’ve stepped back from traditional employment, beginners who’ve been burned by the guru culture, and frankly anyone who’s stared at a chart thinking “I have no idea what I’m doing and also my brain hurts.”

How AI made it possible

Parkinson’s took a wrecking ball to the cognitive functions that writing a book requires. I wrote this book using AI as a cognitive prosthetic — not to write it for me, but to provide the external scaffolding my failing dopamine system could no longer supply. Every idea, every lesson, every hard-won observation in these pages is mine. The AI just helped me get it out of my head and onto the page.
