Common Questions

The Field Guides is a library of premium books on financial markets and the people who trade them. The series covers two related subjects: how markets work at a structural level, and how traders behave under the conditions markets create.

The first book addresses market mechanics. It covers the auction process, the order book, volume distribution, and the areas of price where significant decisions are made. The second book addresses trading psychology. It maps the recurring patterns of thought and behaviour that shape how a trader performs under pressure. The library is designed to be read in order, but each volume stands on its own.

The Field Guides are written for anyone who wants a more structural understanding of financial markets. The volumes are useful for traders working with equities, futures, FX, or crypto who want to understand what is actually driving price rather than following signals built on top of it. They are equally useful for anyone who suspects that their own habits and psychology are as much a factor in their results as their analysis. The material is relevant whether you are new to markets or working at a trading desk.

The Field Guides are published by TradePirate. The content is written by practitioners with multi-year experience across equities, futures, and foreign-exchange markets. The material draws on first-hand experience in live markets and is focused on the subjects that actually determine trading outcomes.

None of the authors are registered financial advisors and none of the content is financial advice. Nothing in any volume is a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to buy or sell any security, derivative, cryptocurrency, or other financial instrument. Trading and investing carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for every person. Leveraged products in particular can result in losses that exceed your initial deposit. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and should consult a licensed professional before acting on anything you read here. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the material. The full language is in our Terms of Use.
