Day Trading 101: From Understanding Risk Management and… (2024)

Should have been titled intro to the basics but written in a manner that assumes you have been trading for years.

I learned several important things from this book:
(1) I do not understand enough about financial markets to day trade
(2) I will not be able to learn enough about financial markets without reading a LOT of books. Or taking a class. Or getting a degree.
(3) Day trading is basically gambling.

Good basic intro, a bit more details would be much appreciated. If you have zero experience in trading like I am then this introduces all the key ideas.

Meh … sort of an interesting starting point, but it seems to turn into a stream of consciousness guide to how Borman trades. There's little guidance to process and method, or to simulation tools for learning, or even appropriate starting resources. I am not a day trader, but was interested in what it means to do so. The only reason this book got two stars is that it succeeded in answering the starting point question of the difference between investing and trading, and I believe it does that pretty well. But then he sends you toward Forex trading and options trading, which is literally like sending a two year old into a minefield, and he does next to nothing to explain how it works, the mechanisms of making money, or even the process of uncovering the answers to those questions.

This book is okay if you don't have access to if you don't have google and for good ideas on what to research in more depth. This is at best an idea book. I was looking for

A good start book to start you day trading act.

Very basic on-the-surface information about day trading. Doesn't go in-depth about any particular subject but has some interesting topics that could be researched further.

Very informative. If you don't have any knowledge beforehand, I would recommend reading Stocks 101 first or a "for dummies or idiots" book first. But this is a very good book in my opinion.

Good introduction, but missing more content in relevant topics like how to look for stocks

Disappointing. This book was more of an overview of the profession rather than the how-to guide I was hoping for.

Easy read, packed full of information. It seems that there's always something to be learned by revisiting base principles.

I mean this is generally a good book, but i don't think this is 101 enough for starters that don't really know what to do because the book is compressed to fit all the materials needed to daytrade as it leaves no explanation of terminologies used in finance world.

Good job though overall.

Looking at the cover I dont know what I expected.

This book is amazing.....learnt a lot abt day trading

A lot of top level knowledge and ideas. I recommend taking notes on things that interest you and explore each topic more in depth either through another book or online resources.
