Book is covering almost all day trading terminologies, strategies and concepts for newbies who is planning to begin a new career.Thanks Mr. ANDREW AZIZ

If you are looking to treat trading as a business you need to start reading this book. I finished in 4 days and if there is 10 star rating I will give it to this book

Good read

Great book, but it only focuses on stock market, for some one like me who is a forex trader it was a waste of time and money, I knew before I bought it

Great book

Good to take general ideas about tarding

Amazing book

Good

Admittedly, I am in a fortunate position of trading full time (after many years of learning), but I do still like to buy and read trading books, and bought this on the back of the good reviews - never too late to learn. I got bored with this book within the first couple of chapters - lots of waffle and nothing of substance. If you want a couple of good books to get you on the right track - try The Market Makers Edge by Josh Lukeman and The Ruff Guide to Trading by Steve Ruff.

*UPDATE (Originally reviewed in 2016/2017; this is my review as of 2020):I think the headline speaks for itself. About 5/6 years ago I was floundering about calling myself a "swing trader." I'd heard about "day-traders," but never really attempted to peek behind the curtain to see what "it" was all about.I decided to read a handful of books on the topic; a self-education of sorts. I read books written by some of the most "prominent" authors who regard themselves as Traders; William O'Neil, Toni Turner (phenomenal author), Peter Lynch, Ray Dalio, Mark Douglas, and a few others were part of my "education." All were informative for a guy like me, who -- at the time -- knew relatively nothing...One of the books I stumbled upon happened to be this book (How To Day Trade For A Living; Andrew Aziz). Andrew was the first author I'd read on the topic that cut through all the fluff and got straight to the point. I would, in essence, describe his book as a summary of all the other books combined; a little less "hefty" in the arena of details, but MORE powerful (presumably due to efficiency) to the reader as a result. More of a "guide to actually starting your trading journey," as opposed to the other books, which were more of a "hey, look how smart I can sound while rambling about irrelevant things necessary to become a trader."Anyways... One of the things this author (Aziz) did in his book was offer a link to his website and chatroom. Initially, I figured it was just a sales-pitch to rope me in to a perpetual revenue stream (for him), but I decided to take the bait. I was really committed, so I wanted to see what "it" (day trading) was really about; and if it took visiting a website and/or chatroom, well -- so be it (I guess). I think it's important to mention that I've read too many books on the topic to keep track of (probably about 30, or so), and MOST of the authors on trading/day-trading/swing-trading ALSO include links to their websites. Frankly, after I learned to put my skepticism aside, I realized that NOT including a supplemental resource (such as website) was doing the reader LESS of a service than the other way around.I digress...My first impression with the "chat room" was "this ain't for me!" lol... I think my interpretation/assumption of what a "chatroom" would entail wasn't what I got. Instead, I saw a guy with a few charts and scanners, telling people when he was entering/exiting trades, then spending a few minutes thereafter with us (the chat minions) discussing "why" he made certain decisions, and so on. I closed out the chat window, and didn't think about it again for a few weeks......and then I realized...after those few weeks...that I was still wandering about hopelessly, and that somebody (like Aziz) who was effectively pulling back the figurative curtain (on his day job), via a "chatroom," was EXACTLY what I needed. I stumbled back into the chatroom after that epiphany, and have been a full-time day-trader ever since...I don't visit chat very often these days, but I can say, unequivocally - and based on EXTENSIVE personal experience -- The book this guy (Aziz) wrote, the website he hosts to this day, and yes -- even his chatroom -- are ALL more valuable than 99% of would-be daytraders will probably ever realize.With all of that said, let me be very clear about this: I have been a full-time trader ever since reading his book, and frankly -- I genuinely believe reading his book was a catalyst to developing the trader I've become. Andrew gave me the down and dirty education via his book (without the fluff), a first-hand look into the world of day-trading (via his chat), and will ALWAYS be regarded as a "pillar" to the successes I've found in this world.I don't know any other way to put it: If you're looking to get involved with the world of trading/day-trading, read this book. You'll be glad you did...Have a great day everyone; stay humble; STAY GREEN!

I have bought both of Andrews Aziz books: "How to Day Trade for a Living" and "Advanced Techniques in Day Trading". I find the authors style of writing extremely easy to follow and very informative for what is a very dry subject for me. I managed to finish both books within a few days of receiving each and both left me wanting to delve deeper into the subject. They are fairly meaty books, particularly the second with very well written glossaries at the end. Andrew provides links to his website and a .pdf file which has all the figures and graphs reproduced in colour which can be blown up, significantly enhancing their readability. He also produces some detailed YouTube videos which further explain the subject. I'm not certain you need to read the first book if you intend to buy the second, but if you are undecided, the first book is an easier read and the subject is so deep that it is probably beneficial to go over the basics twice. I have one suggestion that in my opinion would improve these books - Andrew provides lots of examples of trades he took with good results and while helpful, I would have liked to have seen a lot more losing examples as I think you learn more from them, if you can identify the cause and/or mistakes made.

While the author has written the book for the mass, he has also promoted his website and a trading platform throughout the book. By the time you reach to the main part of the strategy implementation you will realise that you lack the tools which he uses. Also most of the stuffs he has mentioned can be found free on articles on the internet. Not worth it. Quality of the print is decent.

Firstly, having read a bunch of trading and investment related books recently, this one was not on par with any of them. See Naked Trader, Intelligent investor. Whilst the reading style is easy to read, I got nothing of use from this book.Save your money and use the many free resources available on the Internet. There are many great resources that can preach the merits of a moving average and a bunch of candlepatterns. You don't need to be paying for that.By far the worst part of this book is the apparent reliance on trading signals that are available behind a pay wall. Out of all the reviews I have read here, this is only mentioned once. I would expect a book like this to help impart knowledge on how to make money, not give you more ways in which to lose it.
