Most case books in this index are listed case by case, because the book itself could be opened and its contents read. The books that remain at book level carry a case count marked as verified, a club or source figure, or an estimate, because that book could not be opened in a form that lets its individual titles be verified. Individual cases are listed one by one only where the source itself names them, and a case printed in two books is counted once.
Every case in this index belongs to the club or firm named on its card. This site is not affiliated with any of them, uses no logos, and links to the source rather than copying the material. If you own a listing, or speak for the club or firm that does, write to legal@hackingstrategyfinance.com. We acknowledge within two business days, and we remove or correct a listing within five business days of a rights holder’s request, without argument. If your club limits a book to its own members, tell us and we will remove the listing or reduce it to a link to your club’s public page, at your choice.
Readers: if a link dies or a detail on a card is wrong, the Report a problem link on every card goes to the same inbox. Corrections keep this index worth trusting.
Members can contribute cases they own the rights to. Contributions pass a rights screen, an originality screen, and a quality review before anything is published. Read how it works on the contribute a case page.
I am Richard, your interviewer here. I run cases with you, drill your math, and tell you plainly which part of your game needs work. Ask me something, or press Hear it and I will introduce myself out loud in your device voice. The studio voice connects at launch.
He answers from the guide's own content, names the level it lives in, and does not invent firm facts. On member accounts he remembers your year, school, progress, and scores; you can see and clear what he remembers.
