The Bitcoin Trader's Workbook cover

The problem

You already know the chart. What you don't have is a record of your own thinking at the moment you acted.

Every trader who has blown up a position can tell you exactly what the market did. Almost none of them can tell you what they were feeling twenty minutes before they clicked. That gap is where the money goes.

This workbook closes it by making the same eight things non-negotiable, every single session, in the same order — so the pattern in your behaviour becomes visible on paper long before it becomes visible in your balance.

What's inside

Eight steps. Every day. Same order.

The sequence is deliberate: you observe before you judge, and you judge before you act. Each day runs three pages.

01

Daily Price Entry

The price, the source, and a proper APA citation for it. A number you cited is a number you actually checked.

02

Market Context

Sentiment, headlines, macro, and crypto-specific flows. What the wider tape was doing before you formed a view.

03

Technical Checklist

Trend, support and resistance, volume, RSI, MACD. Mark what you see on the chart, not what you hope.

04

Trading Psychology

The emotional state before you acted and the bias you noticed. Most bad trades are recorded here before they reach the log.

05

Risk Management

Daily loss limit, position size, stop placement, risk-reward. Set in advance, because filling it in afterwards defeats the point.

06

Trade Log

Entry, exit, size, reasons, profit and loss, mistakes. Optional — complete it only on the days you take a position.

07

Study Notes

One thing learned, cited APA-style. Thirty-one entries and you have built yourself a reading list.

08

Daily Summary

Two honest questions and a ladder of goals, from tomorrow out to seventeen years.

Look inside

Actual pages, not mockups.

Set in EB Garamond and Inter, printed with generous ruled lines because it is meant to be written in by hand.

The author

J.D Thorne

J.D Thorne prefers to trade with a journal. He is not a licensed adviser and this workbook is not a strategy.

The workbook came out of a simple observation: the days that cost the most were never the days the chart was hardest to read. They were the days nothing got written down.

Questions

Before you buy.

Do I need to be an experienced trader?

No. The workbook does not teach a strategy — it gives you a repeatable structure for recording and reviewing whatever you are already doing.

What files do I get?

Three: a print-ready PDF, a reflowable EPUB for Kindle and other e-readers, and an editable Word (.docx) file if you want to adapt the pages to your own process.

Is it dated?

No. Days run 01 to 31 and you write the date in yourself, so it never goes stale and you can start on any day of the year.

Is this financial advice?

No. This is an educational and record-keeping tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Trading and holding digital assets carries a substantial risk of loss.

Thirty-one days. Written in pen.
