Publisher's Summary

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility and income that active trading does. As a trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You may only answer to yourself. That is the life of a successful day trader; but it is not easy to achieve and very few succeed.

In the audiobook, 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 audiobook short so you can actually finish listening to it and not get bored by the middle.

For beginner traders, this audiobook gives you an understanding of where to start, how to start, what to expect from day trading, and how to develop your strategy. Simply listening to this audiobook, however, will not make you a profitable trader. Profit in trading does not come with listening to an audiobook or two or browsing online. It comes with practice, the right tools, and software and appropriate ongoing education.

Intermediate traders may benefit from the audiobook'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 section number seven 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.

So good on so many levels

This was an exceptional book on so many levels, While this edition focuses on day trading and has great value within this sector, I think it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in any sector of trading.

HERE IS MY BACKGROUND- I own some stock that I purchased blindly with no advice, no plan, no strategy; my timing was good and I made some good gains during covid (thank you Tesla) but I am now quickly realizing that most of my moves which are blind strokes are failing, I know nothing about trading and feel like I should know something. In talking with a friend recently we both got interested in trading. Our interest was in statistical trading, quick moves without knowing much about the fundamentals behind the companies being traded. After reading this book I realize day trading is not right for me; that alone made this book priceless for me! I will be listing to Andrews Swing Trading book next.

Let me get this out of the way first. The ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE about this book which is petty, was the introduction. Honestly I almost lost interest in the first few minutes listening to the author talk about his mountain climbing and other personal aspects. I am glad a didn't give up that soon because once that first chapter was out of the way this book took off and got to the good stuff, moved fast, covered tons of material and stayed focused. Andrew, if you are listening, the intro almost lost me as a reader/listener; for how focused you are it really seemed mis-aligned with the book and immediately sent me off course.

THE WRITTING AND NARRATOR IS EXCEPTIONAL! The performance was perfect, hands down this book was an enjoyment to listen too.

While the book included many plugs for the author's paid service website for community trading, I think it aligned with the content and did not distract from the valuable content provided. No issue here but I figured I would mention it.

The best I can do TO SUMMARIZE THIS BOOK is: A comprehensive, fast paced, personal account of how one intelligent, motived, dedicated, disciplined person became and remains a successful day trader that includes the realist details of their significant trials and tribulations. Along the way I learned an immense amount about the stock market in general and feel I have a completely new understanding and respect for what day trading is. Don't get me wrong, I am following the advice in this book and I absolutely will not be jumping into any day trading relying only on what I learned here but if I ever do take on day trading this information will be invaluable while I learn and practice the trade.

DO NOT EXPECT to start successfully trading stock directly after listening to this book, and for that point, do not expect to start successfully trading stock directly after reading/listening to any "how to trade stock" book; even the best books are only primers to help you understand what you don't know. You still have to do the work to learn through practice trading, mentorship, planning and so much more.

DO EXPECT to have a significantly better understanding of many aspects of trading and a significant advantage to move forward with whether you are just starting or have been in trading for some time. Honestly, I think many of the insights and principles presented in this book can apply to much more in life than trading stocks.

TWO THUMBS UP for a tremendous amount of valuable information. well written with perfect narration.

Very Rare, very well done

it's very rare to find such a down to earth honest book about trading. Andrew gives actionable insights for getting started day trading without having to use the traditional hooks other authors use to lure you in with promises of big overnight riches. very well done. I've read this book several times over.

Good book on the truth about Day Trading .

The key is trade with the charts not with your heart. Don't trade with your emotions.

Incredible book wealth of information

Loved this book. I can't wait to take the next steps towards this process.

Nice work!

Very professionally done and well organized with both practical specifics as well as great trading philosophy. I’m a very very experienced trader, but still learned some important things from this book that will stay with me going forward.

Powerful and Informative

This is one of the most powerful, informative and detailed oriented books that I have ever read on day trading. Andrew did a wonderful job of laying out what day trading is and what it is NOT. This book has given me the courage to pursue my passion of day trading and has given me the blueprint on action items and what to do next.

No regrets

Worth every penny, was all over place with trading plansl and strategy. This book has taught me to focus on the process of being consistent and profitable for the long run rather than making a quick dollar here and there, which of course often resulted in huge losses of capital. Thanks sir Andrew 🙏

Loved it

Gives you great insight into day trading. Makes you think twice before investing and not gambling.

This dude is wicked smaht

Not a get rich quick scheme. Highly informative about all the aspects one needs to become a successful trader.

valuable info but hard to only listen

the book has such incredible info, but I have couple of things.
1. hard to listen while driving unless having the figures printed (read and drive is a no no)
2. Chris was rushing the read as if he was competing to a finish line. not even a pause between two chapters or sections. that makes it hard to digest the info.

Overall Andrew provided a ton of valuable info

This great trader is also a great teacher

I don't usually write reviews but I really felt that a small effort on my side must take place after the hard work the author has put in this book. This book is a must listen/read for those aspiring to become day traders, although I'm still getting there this book was the next push forward i needed. This book will give you a great explanation on the questions you might have , it will also give you new ideas, lessons about risk management, trading strategies, so much info in one book. Thank you for crafting this book.

Fantastic insight to day trading

It’s very motivating and it’s also helped me to have a better understand of, the psychology around day trading.
