## Description

In the book, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day. I've kept the book short so you can actually finish reading it and not get bored by the middle. For beginner traders, this book gives you an understanding of where to start, how to start, what to expect from day trading, and how to develop your strategy. Simply reading this book, however, will not make you a profitable trader. Profit in trading does not come with reading a book or two or browsing online. It comes with practice, the right tools and software and appropriate ongoing education. Intermediate traders may benefit from the book's extensive overview of some of the classic strategies that the majority of retail traders regularly use with proven success. If you think you are beyond the stage of a novice trader, then you may want to jump ahead and start reading from Chapter 7 for an overview of the most important day trading strategies: Day trading is not gambling or a hobby. You must approach trading very, very seriously. As such, I wake up early, go for a run, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and fire up my trading station before the markets open in New York. I am awake. I am alert. I am motivated when I sit down and start working on the list of stocks I will watch that day. This morning routine has tremendously helped my mental preparation for coming into the market. Whatever your routine is, starting the morning in a similar fashion will pay invaluable dividends. ABCD Pattern Trading Bull Flag Momentum Trading Top Reversal Trading Bottom Reversal Trading Moving Average Trend Trading VWAP Trading Support and Resistance Trading For each strategy, I explain: How to find the Stock in Play for trade What indicators I am using on my charts When I enter the trade When I exit the trade (profit taking) What is my stop loss Day trading is not gambling. It's not an online poker game. To be successful at day trading you need the right tools and you need to be motivated, to work hard, and to persevere. That's How to Day Trade for a Living .

Review: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble.” - Mark Twain once said "It ain't what you don't know that gets you in trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." I believe these words of wisdom apply to trading, as well as life in general. After doing some day trading and making a few nice profitable trades here and there, followed by a couple of losses that cut my profits in half, I remembered that quote by Twain and I had to admit to myself that many of the things I thought I knew about trading were wrong. I decided to visit desertcart to find a good introduction to the subject of day trading. There were so many books, most of them looked like they would take me weeks or months to study, and I wasn’t sure if I was prepared to take on that kind of learning curve. I’m not lazy, but I have a lot of other projects going on. Then I stumbled upon Andrew Aziz’s book “How to Day Trade for a Living: A beginner’s Tools and Tactics, Money Management, Discipline and Trading Psychology.” This book seemed to cover everything I was looking for, and with only in 232 pages; I felt I could handle that. I wasn’t looking for an encyclopedia on trading; I was looking for information on what day trading is, how to get started, and pitfalls to look out for. Based on the long title and the mostly positive reviews, I decided to go with this book. I am very glad I did. I should mention that I’ve not yet completed my first reading of the book; I’m taking my time to let the information sink in; that’s my preferred learning style. However, a bit more by half way through the book, I can say that I really enjoy this book a great deal. At first it was a little uncomfortable, because as a middle-aged finance professional with an MBA and many classes in finance and investing, I felt that I should know a lot more about day trading than I actually do. Well, the first thing I learned from Aziz’s book is that day trading and investing are very different subjects. I also learned that what I had been doing was not day trading, but “swing trading,” and that they are very different trading modalities that require different education and practice. By far, my most important take-away from this book is that day trading is not easy. The author of reinforces that point throughout the book. This is probably why 84% or so (depending on which study you read) of those of us who give day trading a try end up losing money. We think we can just jump in, get lucky, and make lots of money. We ignore the fact that having consistent success as a day trader requires skills that are usually only acquired through practice and over time. We like the making money part, but we don’t like the steep learning curve, so we start trading with no education, no practice, no skills. In other words, we dabble in day trading. Then, as often is the case, when we lose our trading capital (or most of it), we call it quits and blame day trading as being a sham. That’s the 84% of all traders. Of course, there’s nothing magical about the 85/15 or 80/20% rule; it just happens to be true in so many areas of life. If more “wanna-be day traders” would only be willing to educate themselves and approach day trading with the seriousness and respect it deserves, treat it as an actual business, they could be successful too! And then the ratio of successful day traders in these studies would probably increase by quite a few percentages. Maybe this will happen one day, I don’t know. I say probably not, because despite our amazing potential, human beings tend to be lazy, and very predictable. That’s why the 84% failure ratio for day traders is probably going to remain fairly constant. That doesn’t mean that an aspiring trader willing to humble themselves (a bit) and commit themselves (a lot) to learning the skills can’t be part of the 16% of successful traders! In the beginning of this book, the author talks a bit about the rewards of day trading, and why so many people pursue it. Successful day traders can work from home, make a very decent income, take time off when they want to, work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You have no boss to answer to; you’re basically your own CEO. I learned from this book that a successful trader who has acquired the necessary trading skills, strategies, tactics, money management, discipline and psychology can sometimes make between $500 to $1,000 per day, on average. That’s a lot of money. It translates into $120,000 to $240,000 per year, before taxes (assuming on average 20 trading days per month). The author mentions how he knows traders who consistently make $2,000 or more per trading day; but he does not hold himself out to be in that category. In fact, he admits to having lost money, and he still has losing days or streaks of losing days, but on average he is consistently profitable. The point I’m trying to make is that becoming a successful trader can be very rewarding, for someone willing to go through the learning curve and acquire the necessary skills and mindset. If the potential rewards of becoming a successful day trader is so great, and since it appears to be very doable, then why isn’t everyone day trading? I believe the author provides the answer in his 11 Rules of Day Trading. “Rule 2: Day trading is not easy. It is a serious business, and you should treat it as such.” If I understand the author correctly, the day traders who are making $500 to $1,000 profit are traders who have taken time to educate themselves and apply the strategies and principles outlined in the book. They have practiced in a simulator for at least 3 months, achieving a favorable ratio of profitable vs non-profitable trades before trading with real money. Then follows several months with “small trades” made with real money, because trading with real money is different from trading in a simulator. So even if you have a talent for day trading, it’s unlikely that you’ll be getting rich quickly. In addition to teaching the general principles of day trading, risk management, money management, several day trading strategies, discipline and trading psychology (very important!) this book also provides a step by step process for people who want to become successful day traders. The author says in the beginning of the book that the book is short on purpose; it allows the reader to understand the basics of day trading and enough information for someone to decide whether they want to pursue day trading as a profession. After reading about halfway through the book, I’ve decided that I would like to continue learning about day trading. Some of the sobering facts outlined in the book almost caused me to put it down. However, based on what I learned from this book, I do believe that becoming a successful day trader is indeed possible. Also, the potential rewards of acquiring the skills of day trading are a great motivation to me. Another reviewer expressed that they really liked the book, but that they had decided not to pursue day trading at this point. I really respect that reviewer, because it shows that the person was willing to read the book and find out what day trading is all about, before making an informed decision. This reviewer then for their own reasons decided not to pursue day trading at this time, but still took time to leave a favorable review of the book. I think that says a lot about a person’s attitude in life and toward learning. In fact, this was one of the reviews that contributed to my purchase decision. As for me, although I am committed to continue my studies of this book and taking the next steps to continue my education, I still don’t know for sure if I will eventually become a day trader and pursue this as a livelihood. After a few months of trading in a simulator, I might reach the same conclusion as the other reviewer who decided it was not for them. However, in my case I feel this is the right time in my life to learn a new set of skills; I find day trading very interesting, and I want to learn more. Not everyone is cut out for day trading, and there are so many factors that come into play. However, I feel I owe it to myself to at least continue to explore and learn more about the subject matter. If I don’t, I will be forever wondering if I made a mistake by not learning more. I’d also like to point out that although I think this book on its own is a great introduction to the subject of day trading, you are getting a lot more than just a book. The author invites you to join his trading community, where you can watch him trade and get trading advice and tips from other traders. You can find the website if you enter the author’s name in Google; the website will have a lot of information about the trading chat room and other day trading education resources. The trading chat room is no longer free, from what I understand all the participants in that community recently collectively decided that there should be a $30/month fee to cover the expenses of the chat/teaching platform. However, it is possible to sit in on several chat session for free by signing up for a 7 day free trial. Personally, I don’t have a problem with this, as I’ve been pitched $5,000 trading “academies” – week long courses that promised me I’d be profitable my first month in trading. Unfortunately, the day trading education industry is infested with vendors preying on people’s hopes and dreams, and many fall for such false promises. I feel that the author of this book is “the real deal.” I must admit that one of the questions I had initially was that if a person is good at day trading and making money with it, why would they teach others? That question was answered after I attended a couple of the author’s trading room chat sessions. It became very clear to me that the reason he’s conducting these training sessions is because he loves trading and he also loves to teach. I know, anybody can say that they love teaching others, but if that statement is actually true, then I believe it will shine through. With Andrew Aziz, it does shine through. In any case, I consider $30/month to participate in the chat room to be a very reasonable fee, and I feel that if I can’t afford that, then perhaps I shouldn’t be day trading at all. If you are joining the author’s trading room, I also recommend that you budget $120/month to cover the cost of trading in a DAS simulator, where you will “paper trade” for at least three months. So all in all, I budgeted $450 for my three month introductory education with this program. I believe that the simulator can be ordered separately from the chat room directly from DAS, but the simplest option is to order it all through the trading community web site. That way everything will be set up for you and you can participate in an on-boarding session where the author teaches you how to use the software. I am mentioning these costs because I think people who are considering joining this path to day trading education should know about the costs up front. No doubt, some people will conclude from my review that the book is just a bait for more expensive courses, and if these thoughts are going through your mind you should be aware that the main cost of this program goes to cover the DAS platform, which is separate from the author’s chat room. I did some quick math based on the number of people in the chat room, and concluded that monetary gain is definitely not his reason for conducting these training sessions. Finally, I will disclose that this is an unsolicited review and I’m not receiving any benefit from leaving it other than the satisfaction of knowing that perhaps I’ve helped another prospective day trader make an informed decision about whether or not to invest in this book. My advice is that if you’re not sure whether this book is for you, get the Kindle version. It’s only $3.75 and you can download and read it immediately. That’s what I did. However, I just purchased the paperback version of the book as well. I know that this is a book that I will be referring to often, and I like to be able to highlight sections and add my own notes. I hope some will find this review helpful, and whoever you are, I wish you the best of luck with your decisions about day trading!
Review: The Complete Guide to Get Started Day Trading - I've read hundreds of trading books and have been active in the stock market for over 30 years. I continue to read trading books to see what other traders say about their own experiences in the market. Good trading books are worth their weight in gold if they give you just a few lessons that increase your profits or decrease your losses. Day trading is a specialized endeavor that requires an edge in the market and the speed of execution, risk management, and discipline to stick with your strategy. New-day traders can get into trouble quickly and lose much money when they lack any of these in their approach. Realizing your need for more knowledge on the subject is the first step; the second step is to study. Andrew Aziz's "How to Day Trade for a Living: A Beginner's Guide to Trading Tools and Tactics, Money Management, Discipline, and Trading Psychology." is the best introductory book on day trading I have come across. Its steady top ranking in book sales and amount of positive reviews confirm this. This concise, no, fluff 384-page new expanded 2022 edition of the book covers all the topics a new trader will need to know without being overwhelmed with the things that aren't important. The writing style is to the point and not dull as it gets to the point and moves to the next lesson. It isn't full of anecdotes or too many personal stories. The book is a focused master class on what you need to know to day trade. Day trading is a professional pursuit, and you must take it seriously. The author of the book is clear that day trading takes work. This is not a get-rich-quick book; it's an educational one. Most people who try day trading lose money because they need proper education, practice, and skills. The author emphasizes that consistent success requires skill acquisition over time, and treating day trading as a serious business is crucial. This is a realistic approach that can lead to future success. The lifestyle and rewards of successful day trading can be pretty enticing: working from home, having no boss, no coworkers, income based on performance, and taking time off when desired. A proficient day trader can earn more in a day than a week at a job. However, achieving this success requires dedication to education, practice, and applying the strategies and principles outlined in the book. Andrew focuses the reader on the journey of becoming a profitable day trader. He gives you what you need, from trading setups and strategies to risk management and the right mindset. He explains that success comes from properly educating oneself and diligently practicing strategies in a simulator for at least three months before trading with real money. He also goes into the details, like hotkeys and how to find the stocks in play for day trading. The book is filled with screenshots, and he goes step by step. The book teaches all the general principles of day trading, risk management, money management, various strategies, discipline, and trading psychology. It also offers a step-by-step process for those who wish to become successful day traders. While the book is an excellent introduction to day trading, the author also provides free introductory access to his trading community, where one can watch him trade, receive advice, and learn from other traders. This book is the manual for the full day trading education he provides, and you can continue your journey to his more advanced books or learn to day trade directly from his service. However, this book is the one to start with and what I recommend to new traders that ask me about day trading books. The author's passion for teaching and trading shines throughout the books, and he genuinely wants to help others succeed in day trading. Andrew is very friendly and social in real life. You can even catch his traveling adventures on social media, where he lives the dream of day trading and visiting amazing places around the world. In summary, "How to Day Trade for a Living" offers valuable insights and a clear path to understanding and engaging in day trading. Whether or not one ultimately decides to pursue day trading seriously as a profession, this book serves as a solid foundation for making an informed decision. This is the first book an aspiring day trader should read in my opinion.

## Features

Realizing your need for more knowledge on the subject is the first step; the second step is to study. Andrew Aziz's "How to Day Trade for a Living: A Beginner's Guide to Trading Tools and Tactics, Money Management, Discipline, and Trading Psychology." is the best introductory book on day trading I have come across. Its steady top ranking in book sales and amount of positive reviews confirm this. This concise, no, fluff 384-page new expanded 2022 edition of the book covers all the topics a new trader will need to know without being overwhelmed with the things that aren't important. The writing style is to the point and not dull as it gets to the point and moves to the next lesson. It isn't full of anecdotes or too many personal stories. The book is a focused master class on what you need to know to day trade. Day trading is a professional pursuit, and you must take it seriously. The author of the book is clear that day trading takes work. This is not a get-rich-quick book; it's an educational one. Most people who try day trading lose money because they need proper education, practice, and skills. The author emphasizes that consistent success requires skill acquisition over time, and treating day trading as a serious business is crucial. This is a realistic approach that can lead to future success. The lifestyle and rewards of successful day trading can be pretty enticing: working from home, having no boss, no coworkers, income based on performance, and taking time off when desired. A proficient day trader can earn more in a day than a week at a job. However, achieving this success requires dedication to education, practice, and applying the strategies and principles outlined in the book. Andrew focuses the reader on the journey of becoming a profitable day trader. He gives you what you need, from trading setups and strategies to risk management and the right mindset. He explains that success comes from properly educating oneself and diligently practicing strategies in a simulator for at least three months before trading with real money. He also goes into the details, like hotkeys and how to find the stocks in play for day trading. The book is filled with screenshots, and he goes step by step. The book teaches all the general principles of day trading, risk management, money management, various strategies, discipline, and trading psychology. It also offers a step-by-step process for those who wish to become successful day traders. While the book is an excellent introduction to day trading, the author also provides free introductory access to his trading community, where one can watch him trade, receive advice, and learn from other traders. This book is the manual for the full day trading education he provides, and you can continue your journey to his more advanced books or learn to day trade directly from his service. However, this book is the one to start with and what I recommend to new traders that ask me about day trading books. The author's passion for teaching and trading shines throughout the books, and he genuinely wants to help others succeed in day trading. Andrew is very friendly and social in real life. You can even catch his traveling adventures on social media, where he lives the dream of day trading and visiting amazing places around the world. In summary, "How to Day Trade for a Living" offers valuable insights and a clear path to understanding and engaging in day trading. Whether or not one ultimately decides to pursue day trading seriously as a profession, this book serves as a solid foundation for making an informed decision. This is the first book an aspiring day trader should read in my opinion.

How to Day Trade for a Living by Andrew Aziz is one of the most accessible and practical introductions to the world of day trading. The author doesn’t overhype the process or promise overnight riches — instead, he emphasizes the discipline, strategy, and mindset required to succeed. The book covers essential topics such as setting up your trading tools, understanding technical indicators, risk management, and developing a personal trading strategy. What makes it stand out is its real-world advice: Aziz draws from his own experience, making the book feel both informative and relatable. I appreciated his focus on emotional control and the psychological aspects of trading — areas many beginners underestimate. He makes it clear that day trading isn’t for everyone, but for those willing to learn, practice, and stay consistent, it can be a viable path to financial independence. This isn’t a get-rich-quick guide — it’s a get-skilled-and-stay-focused guide. Whether you're completely new to trading or refining your strategy, this book is a great place to start.
