Goodman for Grasshoppers
A Quick-Start Guide
The first hour with Goodman.
Five parts and one honest instruction repeated twice: do not judge this by fewer than ten trades. It is the shortest road from never having heard of Goodman to placing a Goldilocks trade on a micro-lot account.

Who it is for
Written for the new Goldilocks trader. The book puts you on a micro-lot account, has you liquidate one lot at the Under count, and tells you plainly that you are still near the top of the Goodman Smoothie.
What it assumes you know
Goodman vocabulary is used without much definition — 1-2-3s, BP/EP/TP, the 3-C Principle, the Dagger. A MetaTrader chart and an understanding of pips and spreads help.
Where it sits in the ladder

The Goodman Smoothie
Start on the big picture and work down. Each level narrows the question until only the trade is left.
From the book
“Avoid drawing ANY conclusions before you have made at least 10 trades!”
“In the long run many things will work fine – it is inconsistency that does not work.”
“Don’t draw big conclusions from little data.”
One letter, when there is something to say
Charlie wrote to his students. We do the same: a new plate, a chart worth looking at, a note when a book is finished. No schedule, no sequence, no selling to you every Tuesday. Leave when you like.
We keep the list ourselves. It is never sold, rented or shared.
