start here: the free resources page
everything edgeful gives away for free lives in one place:
courses, playbooks, prompts, and a position-sizing calculator. no purchase, no account, and no upgrade required for any of them.
how the free downloads work
most of the free resources are delivered the same way, and it's worth knowing the pattern before you go looking for a download button:
each resource has its own page. you get there from the free resources page, or straight from the links below
on that page there's an email field under the headline. enter your email there. that form is the way in
the resource itself is usually a PDF. the page you land on is the sign-up page, not the PDF
so if you're on one of these pages hunting for a download button and can't find one, that's why. the email field is what you're looking for.
signed up and nothing arrived?
check your spam and promotions folders first. that's where it usually is. if you've already entered your email and still don't have it, don't request it again. reach out through the in-app chat with the email address you used and we'll get you a copy.

what these are, and what they aren't
the playbooks and courses are frameworks. each one shows you a complete process: which reports to pull, what the entry and exit rules are, which days or conditions to skip, and how the settings were arrived at.
what they aren't is a signal service. edgeful doesn't tell you what to buy or sell, and none of these run themselves. the point of edgeful is to give you the data and help you combine reports into a plan you actually understand, so you can test it, adjust it, and size it for your own account. that part is still yours to do.
where a resource quotes a backtest, treat it as one ticker over one window of time. pull the same numbers yourself in the report before you trade, and paper trade the setup before you size up.
