I have found this book to be comprehensive and concise about Day Trading.Its explanations of concepts about Day Trading are very clear and easy to understand. Above all, it puts all key concepts on Day Trading in one place without referring the reader to link after link or book after book for fuller explanations of some of its contents. I have two resrvations about the book.First:I found Rule 2 in the Introduction chapter to be too pessimistic about Day Trading and sending a negative message to the subconscious mind which doesn't help. A more positive message to the subconscious mind would be something like, " Mastering Day Trading requires learning the correct strategies and applying them consistently in your work." This messgae would instruct the subconscious mind to assist you in learning the correct strategies and applying them consistently as you work. Repeating that Day Trading is hard makes the subconscious mind unlear about how you want it to assist you in Day Trading. Scond: The RSI is a super indicator in stock market trading and should have been given a fuller explanation especially about how you can use divergence betetween the RSI and price above RSI 70 and below RSI 30 to spot reversals promptly as they develop. Despite these reservations, I have given the book a 5 start rating because it is a book I would keep buying whenever there is a new edition. Highly recommended.

Just finished this book - first book ive read cover to cover in 5 years so its definitely not boring. I feel it is a great introduction to strategy and most importantly mindset, a theme mentioned again and again in the book. I think I will keep going back to this book over and over again to review and rethink different trades.

I have read the revised 2022 version of this book. The updates and extra case studies are excellent. I am below an amature at trading. Right now, I am trying to gather as much information as possible. This book is a fountain of knowledge. It does not just tell me the basics of what I want to know but so many things I had no idea I even need to know. However, the book foes stress. There is no substitute for experience. Until try (preferably in a simulator first) day trading, you will never get a feel for it. The other great thing about the book is highlighting the difference between gambling and day trading. The fact that day trading is not a get rich quick scheme. As quickly as you make profits, you can make losses. Risk management, strategy, and resilience are key to day trading. The book goes through a number of strategies, rules, and principles that have worked for Andrew. There is also a case study of another successful day trader using different strategies to Andrew. Going back to the fact that through experience, everyone needs to find their own style/edge to day trading. The book finishes with a summary of Andrew's rules and a glossary of terms. I would highly recommend this book to anyone beginning or at the information gathering phase of day trading.

Really enjoyed this book. I am a member of another training group/community that is mentioned in this book, I am learning to trade small cap momentum stocks with great news. Wanting to absorb as much knowledge as possible I try to read as many books as I can in trading. There are a tonne of things in this book that I did not know, so much so I am going to by the paper copy to mark up and keep at my trading station. I have only been learning for a year so I’m still very new but I find the great mentors and authors talk in plain fact, the speak straight to the point. This is hard, you will lose money, they are realistic and I respect appreciate them for that. I am battling a huge amount at the moment with self control when trading and the more books I read let me know that’s normal and something I need to work very hard on improving. Trust those that have been there, I am returning back to a sim tomorrow for the next three months, recognise when it’s not going right, stop the bleeding and return to learning and practice. Fantastic book

There is nothing really in this book that I haven't found free on YouTube via Warrior trading or Live Traders channels. The book is so out of date that the author demonstrates their trades from 2016... 8 years old! There are absolutely no public audited accounts made available by the author to prove any trade whatsoever has really happened or indeed if he is really profitable. Other teachers make them public so you can see if they are telling the truth. I have gained some knowledge from the book but it has mainly been supporting views of what I have learnt elsewhere already for free. The style is nice and clear and if you have no knowledge, I have only limited, of the markets then it is a good book to start with. Just be VERY CAREFUL with the advice that's extremely old and unsupported with any evidence.

Loved it! There is something genuine about the author. It is something that I look for in people that I want to learn from. The book is simple, straightforward and packed full of motivational thoughts, not only in day trading but also in life. Thanks Andrew.

If you are like me, new to the concept of trading, and would be interested to learn the basics of the exciting life of a trader, I would strongly recommend this book. I would argue this book could be useful for a more experienced trader in addition to a beginner, this is due to the book's easy flow and diction, I find Andrew is very good at getting his point across, keeping it relevant and engaging. I personally wanted to just keep reading without stopping! I felt excited, this is because you can feel the passion Andrew has for trading, you can appreciate his experience and respect the value of his teachings. The visuals which include graphs and snapshots of Andrews Scammers are also pleasing to the eye, I also liked that when a picture was used, it was clearly clarified and explained, I felt each chapter was clear concise, and closed with real-life experiences, not just hypothetical chit-chat. I will be using this book to constantly refer to as I develop my knowledge and skills, definitely recommend this to be included in any traders library.

This book on day trading has proven to be an invaluable asset to my journey in the world of financial markets. Aptly titled 'How to Day Trade for a Living' it serves not only as an excellent introduction but has seamlessly become my go-to reference on the subject. Placed proudly on my table, it's a constant source of inspiration and knowledge that I frequently find myself revisiting. The author's ability to demystify the complexities of day trading and present them in a clear, concise manner is truly commendable. The book excels in laying down the foundation for understanding the nuances of day trading, making it accessible for beginners without sacrificing depth. It serves as a comprehensive roadmap, guiding readers through the intricacies of the market, and providing insights into the key components of a successful trading strategy. What sets this book apart is its ability to instill a holistic understanding of what it takes to be a successful day trader. From risk management to technical analysis, each chapter is a step toward cultivating the mindset and skills necessary for navigating the dynamic landscape of day trading. The book, adorned with practical examples and real-world scenarios, goes beyond theory, offering a hands-on approach to learning. It has empowered me to make informed decisions, implement effective strategies, and confidently execute trades. I appreciate the author's commitment to bridging the gap between theory and practical application. While 'Mastering Day Trading' stands solidly on its own as an introductory guide, the author wisely recommends delving into 'Advanced Techniques in Day Trading' for those eager to elevate their skills further. This second book unlock advanced strategies and techniques crucial for successful stock trading. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend 'How to Day Trade for a Living' to anyone aspiring to navigate the exciting yet challenging world of day trading. It's not just a book; it's a mentor that continues to shape my understanding and approach to trading. Read it with dedication and commitment, and you'll find yourself equipped with the knowledge and confidence to embark on a successful day trading journey.

Awesome book

Great book! I would like to offer the following suggestions for improvement: Please provide an in-depth analysis of your trading strategies, detailing the precise criteria for entering and exiting trades, as well as specific conditions under which you would refrain from trading. Clearly explain the methodology for calculating risk for each trade. Include several specific, straightforward examples that demonstrate the decision-making process and thought process behind entering a trade, ensuring the examples are easy to follow and illustrate practical application.
