Good to know
Is this financial advice?
No. The book and the journal are for education and record keeping only. They contain no signals, tips or recommendations to buy or sell anything, and no promise of profit. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss.
Who is the book for?
Beginner and intermediate traders who want a structured approach instead of scattered tips. Each chapter is marked Beginner, Intermediate or both. The methods work on any market with a price chart; the examples use stocks, forex and crypto.
How do I get the book after buying?
Gumroad emails you a download link right away. You get two PDF files with the same pages: a dark edition for screens and a light edition for printing.
How does the journal licence work?
After buying, Gumroad gives you a licence key. Open app.pivotwright.com, sign in with your email (we send you a 6-digit code, no password) and enter the key once. It then works on every device where you sign in with the same email. The key does not expire.
Can I try the journal first?
Yes. Without a licence the journal opens as a demo with example trades, so you can look around every screen before you buy.
Does the journal work on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. It is not in the App Store or Google Play.
Does the journal connect to my broker?
No. You enter trades yourself or import them from a CSV file. The journal never connects to a broker or an exchange account.
What if something does not work?
Write to support@pivotwright.com and we will help. Payments and refunds are processed by Gumroad; your rights are described in the Terms.
