A Beginners Guide to Trading Tools and Tactics - Money Management

Excellent book. Andrew keeps it concise and packed with discussion and examples of core concepts necessary to learning the trade. I first listened to it on Audible and immediately knew I'd want the Kindle version for highlighting and note taking. My second read through on Kindle reinforced those key concepts, and because it wasn't 8,000 pages of theory or self-promotion (like many other similar books) I really got a lot out of it. I felt it was certainly worth the time and investment, and I would definitely recommend this book to others and also suggest checking out his website, youtube channel, and growing community of traders!

Well written with lots of practical illustrations and examples. Easy to read too. Would recommend to a trader that has some understanding some basic trading knowledge but still excellent for all levels. One of the best books I've read on trading.

I have never been so happy with how an introduction book was written. Andrew very clearly spells out risks in day trading and is not shy of telling you that you will lose money at first due to substantial learning curves. It is that blunt honesty that continues through out every sentence of the book that weeds out people looking for a get rich quick scheme. The book quickly will then align with people who are truly looking for an education. The strategies are well written and graphs provide an excellent learning opportunity for even the most financially illiterate people.

Get a highlighter ready when reading this book as there are many areas that one should right notes down and highlight important sections.

Great book. Great Author. Honest Message.

Would have liked to have seen more information on starting points such as good free scanners, good free simulation software and a bit more of a step by step on the trading process. The rules and strategies are great and very good information but from a beginners standpoint, I was left wanting some good tools to start using in order to get my foot in the door. Tools approved by the expert author and not just a reference to the trading community chat room. I know this information can be found elsewhere; I just feel like it would have really added value to this book. I also do think some time needs to be taken to explain some technical jargon in a very concise manner rather than saying "you can google search that." I found that made some points "lost" on me even though I am a very active reader who highlights, annotates, and does google searches on things I don't know. I do think that even if it extended the book a few pages it would bring great value.

This book is a great introduction to day trading. The style is very engaging and upfront and honest. It deals a lot with psychology and strategies and learning what you need to know about the market. I loved it and I’m going to read it again.

I liked his simple and graspable explanations. Straightforward and on task, no needless meandering. He has a educational program and chat room he promotes but surprisingly without assumption or annoyance.

Once or twice I couldn’t calculate his examples, maybe because I’m unfamiliar with some trading fees. For example, I’d calculate from his example of a trade that he should have made $800 but he claimed he only made $650. I guess there are broker fees and commissions I’m not aware of. Nonetheless solid education.

I will definitely read his advanced book.

This book was recommended to me by a colleague. The information provided is great for beginners looking to understand the basics of day trading prior to investing a large amount of money. Andrew’s example of comparing day trading to operating a professional business is a perfect example to assist beginners in understanding the ups and downs involved with day trading. The book identifies the proper equipment, tools, and education required to make day trading a profitable career. Andrew’s ability to communicate complex information in a simple to understand format is exceptional.

Great book! Easy to read and understand. Andrew tells it like it is and doesn't sugarcoat the positives and negatives of day trading. "Becoming a consistently profitable trader could turn out to be the hardest thing you will ever do. The intensive training process that you must follow takes eight to twelve months and requires much hard work." The text provides a great foundation and gives you the tools to start recognizing patterns and develop your own trading strategies. I recommend this book for readers of all experience levels. Enjoy and happy trading!

The overall reviews here really speak for themselves and I believe capture what this book offers. A must read is exploring the world of Day Trading and really for anyone in general wanting to learn about the world of trading. Tools, tactics, money management, Discipline and trading psychology all easily outlined and very clearly written. I'm already onto Andrews 2nd book Advanced Techniques in Day Trading. Invaluable content to learn.

The author is really passionate about day trading. He explains his method in great detail with very practical information. It is a great book for those beginning in day trading. He clarifies many points as he writes in easy non-jargon writing. He does not promise an overnight success. He approaches day trading as any other high skilled job - so the interested has to learn, dedicate to become good at it. I was a bit disappointed to realize that the author does not trade with millions - he is very cautious about it and it seems to always keep a trading size position within a very rigid and limited amount. All in all I think the book is great and serves as a very good reference.

In his book, Andrew gives very practical investing advice based on his experience as an active day trader. His explanations are easy to understand.

He doesn't overwhelm you with a bunch of confusing information. I highly recommend.

Really amazing book! It gave me a great fundamental theory to start my learning on Day Trading. The author doesn't make any non-sense promise and it is very clear about how hard is to learn and how much time you need to spend learning before making any amount of money.
I am also subscribing the author's website to continue my learning on simulators and live classes.

Great book for beginners, I am starting out with a small account so I also need to read about swing trading so I don't use up my 3 weekly trades available. Great advice on the mindset needed to become successful. You will not become a professional day trader after reading this book but it does give you a good foundation to start learning and understanding strategies. It is well written and is good for anyone who is serious about trading and not looking for a get rich quick fix.

While it’s not the type of trading or investing strategy that suits me I found it very interesting to learn about the different strategies the author uses and some of the philosophy that makes day traders tick.

I was half expecting either an infomercial type script where I really would not learn much without another level of spending or something too complicated for a rank beginner. Happily this book gave me a ton of useful, understandable information and what I need to know to evaluate whether to move forward in day trading. The book is very honest about what is required for success. I learned a lot of new terminology, concepts and principles and was not bored at all. If you are curious about day trading you can nit go wrong in reading this book.

This book is a great start for anyone looking into getting into day trading. All of the strategies that are talked about in the book should be clear for beginners. Andrew goes over a lot of the basics like how to read a candlestick before getting into the specific strategies. Along with that, he also goes over how to prepare for the trading day, and how to always have a plan every day. Trading is not just reading charts, but also risk management. I have read investment books in the past, but this was my first book on day trading and all of the information was clear and concise.

Mr. Aziz provides an excellent primer on both the theoretical and practical aspects of day trading, sharing throughout the book, not only his set-ups, but his pre-market routine as well. Novices should find this particularly useful. Additionally, he invites the reader to join him in his live trading chatroom to observe his methods in practical application.

Andrew Aziz is a great trader, author, and teacher. It is awesome to see someone who sticks to his strategy day after day. I purchased his book and joined his chat (oh his website) before the book arrived.

I have heard of chat communities were the guru trades small shares, but that is not the case here. Andrew prefers larger volume and you will see that it pays off very well for him and his community.

Overall the book is easy and enjoyable to read. I think it funnels you down the right path to not only making money, but also enjoying the process.

Andrew is right, learn, educate myself, establish a process and learn from mistakes to be successful, this book provides all those details and is a good starting point to develop yourself as a successful trader.

Andrew really breaks down the psychology needed to be a day trader. He gives the reader a good look into the discipline needed to be successful. He also has filled this book with very useful, actionable, trading ideas and strategies for each individual to try for themselves. Honestly most people should read this book and then decide NOT to pursue a career in trading because Andrew doesn't pull any punches. It is brutally honest - and while he does mention his trading group it is NOT an advertisement to sell more products... it really is there to help the reader decide whether or not to day trade.

Very good and enjoyable. Concise enough but also meaty enough. Written by a true trader who earns his living trading, unlike many other books on the subject. Very practical. Helps set realistic expectations for opportunities and challenges of trading. Includes useful and actionable strategies. Highly recommend this book as a good place to start in learning how to day trade. I wish I had not wasted time on many other books before this one.

After being around the block, I find Andrew’s style and content very trustworthy. I did join his service and chat room after reading his book and have found it to have tremendously improved my learning curve. Andrew does not pitch any snake oil and is very honest about the profession. His book is a good “preview” and starting point as an introduction for anyone contemplating this exciting profession. I would without a second thought recommend this book to anyone to read before committing and time, money, blood or tears to trading.

Andrew writes a very through, concrete path to success in day trading. He isn't trying to sell you a fool proof one-size-fit-all magic pill but instead a mindset and approach that will lead to success and discipline. I would recommend anyone read this book before trading real $, you will find Andrew accurately describes the real practice, motivation, and hard work it wil ltake to begin day trading the right way.

Well, this book will definitly help with that. I'd say that the best description of this book is more of road map . It will give you plan on how to get where you want be but it wont get you there on it's own ,your hard work will need to make the difference. So if you been thinking about trading for a while this is definitely worth a read and even just to get your mind around the subject an see if it right for you.

Very honest book about a very risky business. Andrew takes a real approach to day trading, advising that individuals who want to take the endeavor consider the venture as a new business and take time and thought as to their approach. In doing this he explains what is needed and what one's expectations should be in first starting out. I greatly appreciated his advice and constant reminder through the book that day trading is about risk management.

The book explains day trading in easy to understand language. The author also paints a realistic picture of what to expect in this career in regards to success as well as the pitfalls associated with day trading. The author not only explains day trading but also the preparation and work that go into it in order to be successful. I recommend this book to anyone who is considering this as a career move.

Great book! Easy read as it was informative and straight to the point. A great option to see if day trading is right for you and many insights as to how to find a strategy and be disciplined. I particularly liked the technical aspects to various strategies and how to use the indicators to your advantage. Being such a quick read, I would recommend it for any trader of any level of experience whether you are just now being introduced to trading or already day trading and comparing strategies.

AWESOME book! A great purchase for the beginner intermediate or advanced trader seeming to strengthen fundamental knowledge. Dr Aziz elaborates clearly and develops his concepts in sequence and explains everything with real-life examples ! Recommended!

Here's a book that delivers exactly what the title suggests. Clear, concise, honest, and expert. After reading this book, you will not be able to begin immediately making money day trading, but you will know how it's done, what it takes, and how to evaluate your own interest and aptitude for it. You will be able to move into it productively and efficiently, if you find yourself drawn to it. I'm impressed with the contents of the book and even more impressed by the author.

Broad, concise, personal, realistic guide for beginners. Andrew nicely balances basics, preparation, techniques and strategies, and personality-based factors in day trading. Not sugar coated but realistic and inviting. I found it an easy read over a few days - breaking when I didn’t feel like “working” further to understand a graph or technical point. You want to soak it in. And definitely read the glossary at the end for review.

After an online Day Trading course and a couple of books later, I came upon this book 'How to Day Trade for a living. This book was the answer I was looking for. The Author has taken great care to make the book really easy to understand and follow.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more on the subject.

Prior to reading this book, I had spent some time "investing," but never "day trading." Of course, I've read other books and watched YouTube videos, but never considered seriously day trading until reading this book. The techniques and strategies discussed appeal to me as a rational explanation and anticipation of the daily market. As a lawyer, I appreciate the author's ability to break down complex concepts with simple, step-by-step explanations. I definitely recommend this for anyone thinking of giving day trading a try.

This is an awesome book. I've read several stock trading books and I must say, most of them are really boring. Andrew makes a point to keep your interest and sticks to his method of trading as well as other things. Just check out his daily recaps on youtube and he'll show you how he applies his methods in the book.

I found this book very honest. The author gives you a lot of tips which is is essential to day trading. For a beginner person who wants to know the business this is a starting point. Also, as the proper Andrew comments, it is important to keep reading, educate yourself, this is something I will do in order to understand how it works this business. If you are a beginner pursuing this path, go for it.

Excellent book for those who want to get started day trading, or who have tried already and are struggling. It goes over everything involved in being a full time day trader including psychology, lifestyle, and technical analysis. The author is realistic and emphasizes the hard work and discipline required to be a trader. If you want to start day trading but you have no idea where to start, this book will be a tremendous help.

Shows basics and strategies needed to understand what you are getting yourself into. Allows you to think about what the market expects of you and what is needed in setting up a foundation before you just go all our nothing into trading. Good to know there are successful trader communities out there willing to mentor and pass along knowledge to the "newbies."

A must read for those who want to day trade for a living!

This is an excellent book. Andrews strategy’s are explained well with supporting charts. I am using his techniques in my trading and if you stick with your plan they work. I am now making money consistantly. He also explains money management which we all know as important. I have been trading for years and have read many day trading books.

The author nicely combines strategy, psychology, and fundamentals of day trading. There are many helpful visual aids and resources made available by Aziz. You get the feeling that he truly wants to see you succeed and not just sell products. A must read for the aspiring day trader.

Andrew takes the time to break down the basics of day trading so easily that a complete novice like myself can understand it. He emphasizes how difficult it can while showing the reader that hard work, discipline and smart risk management can lead to sustainable success. Can’t wait to read his other book. Thank you so much!!

The author logically lays out the steps and strategies to become successful. He is realistic: never promising a career of trading for a few hours a week while lounging in a beach hammock and reminding the user that anything short of months of simulator work will prohibit success. I'm excited to try out his trading philosophy.

I like the conciseness and clarity. People do not have time for authors who keeps rambling on over the same concept with made-up examples like too many books seems to do. I would have appreciated a longer list of resources to keep studying. all in all a very good first intro to get a sense of the landscape. four stars.

After 6 months of searching for a mentor and reading several books and watching hundreds of day trading videos, this book inspired the most. Andrew is very specific in his trading strategies and his style of trading was a match to my personality. This is a great read for anyone looking to make a career in day trading. You will get all the basic pros, cons and basic understanding of trading. It’s a “must read” for anyone looking to get started or has already been day trading!

Great book. This was my first book in the process of becoming a Day Trader. I would recommend it. Just remember, that you need to learn one strategy, master it then move onto the next strategy. Also check out Ross Cameron’s book from Warrior Trading, I love his strategy and he explains it very simply too!

As someone who invests but has never traded, I found this book very interesting and informative. The author offers a no nonsense approach that let's the reader know they have to put in the work on trading and on themselves if the want to find success in Trading for a Living.

Awesome read. Andrew really simplifies the whole process and puts things into a much more understandable perspective. This book gives you enough information to really get started, but I think what has stood out to me the most is how it breaks everything down into categories that have made it much easier for me to branch out on researching. I often read other materials on a subject and then read the chapter of this book pertaining to that as well. Great to use as a reference while practicing in the simulator. I love this book.

This was a great book with very useful nuggets. As a developing trader it was good to hear Andrew's story and go through the straight facts. He lists his strategies in a clear cut way and really allows you to use these for practice and encourages you to develop your own strategies. I'm looking forward to joining his chatroom and continuing my trading development. I recommend this book for all new and developing traders alike!

This is a great book!! Andrew does a phenomenal job breaking down all the things you don’t know and haven’t thought of about trading. Reading this book will deffinetly get you started in the right direction if you are thinking about this as a career.
I’ve recommended it to two friends and will be recommending it to many others!
