50 Trades in 50 Weeks: A Year of Insights, Errors, and Trading Wisdom

This two-book series, 50 Trades in 50 Weeks, is a permanent record of the weekly process that spanned from February 2022 to May 2023. It uses the business school case study method to go through fifty(ish) real-time trades in detail, providing a detailed, start-to-finish walkthrough of the author's process and framework for selecting and executing trades. Over the years, many have asked the author, Brent Donnelly, for such a comprehensive guide.

The idea first came to life as a blog on Substack, and now the books let you watch real trade ideas come to life in real time. Each trade goes from start to finish, touching on a wide range of topics, including global macro, technicals, backtesting, correlation, narrative analysis, mindset, risk management, position sizing, and the psychology of successful trading.

For each trade, the books explore where the idea came from, why it makes sense, the narrative, fundamental analysis, technicals, pattern recognition, backtesting, positioning and sentiment, risk management, stop loss and take profit levels, position size, psychology, the alternative hypothesis, the risks to the trade and reasons it might not work, pre-mortem analysis, data collection, monitoring and tracking trades, and the lessons learned.

50 Trades in 50 Weeks is a 1-year "Introduction to Trading" class full of new ideas, tactics, and strategies for trading. The target audience is traders with 0 to 5 years of experience, but professionals will find the series valuable too.

The books follow the trades over time and conclude with takeaways and the many lessons learned along the way. Lessons include topics like global macro, technicals, backtesting, correlation, narrative analysis, mindset, risk management, position sizing, and the psychology of successful trading.

Each week, the author shared a new trade idea and walked readers through his thought process. 50in50 lets you observe real trade ideas unfold in real time, providing a unique and insightful learning experience for aspiring and experienced traders alike.
