Product description
About the Author
Less than one year before it hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Andrew Aziz moved to Vancouver, Canada, rolled up his sleeves, worked hard, earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, and went to work as a research scientist. Like so many others, as the economy faltered, Andrew heard those dreaded words, "you're no longer needed". Now what? With the same drive and determination that led to his success at university and with industry, Andrew started studying the stock market. How can someone sitting at home, in front of their computer, beat Wall Street at its own game? In How to Day Trade for a Living, Andrew shares how you too can take control over your life and have success in day trading on the stock market. You need the right tools and you need to be motivated, to work hard, and to persevere, but, if you do, you too can be a successful day trader. Andrew knows the markets, underlined, and has a special knack for methodically making what appears to be complicated to be easy to understand. This latest edition of his book sets out in easy to understand language all that you will need to know to launch yourself into day trading on the stock market. This book is definitely NOT a difficult, technical, hard to understand, complicated and complex guide to the stock market. It's concise. It's practical. It's written for everyone by a gifted teacher with a passion to help others take control back over their lives. And, as a purchaser of this book, you will also receive at no cost and with no obligation a membership in Andrew's community of day traders at www.vancouver-traders.com. You can monitor Andrew's screen in real time, watch Andrew trade the strategies explained in his book, and ask questions of Andrew and other traders in their private chat room.

READ THE BOOK FOUR YEARS AGO, AND I'VE BEEN A FULL-TIME TRADER EVER SINCE...
19 November 2020 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
*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!

Grammatically Impossible to Read

Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I’m not going to take the time to return this book, but It had a severely painful start. The incoherent writing structure and monotony made the read intolerable. I would usually read this anyway, but it was pure torture. The flow is terrible, and "breaks" your focus when it suddenly shifts or changes direction. Like reading a book written by a drunk investor that wants to brag about their money, and "drill" their ideas into your head. This book was utterly upsetting as I really would have liked to of had a book that taught the basic rules, software, and guidelines for navigating the trading process. Then maybe briefly discussed the Psychological and Technical aspect of determining which stock to buy. "HOW TO DAY TRADE FOR A LIVING" attempts to direct you to Aziz's trading network and lead beginners into the sheep's pen for slaughter. I apologize for the harshness, but this ruined my morning reading time so much I decided to spend the remainder of my reading time reviewing the book here. DO NOT BUY.

Solid information for traders
28 November 2016 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I'm a very experienced day trader of over 20 years. With the coming of HFT and other changes, it has been necessary to adjust my methodology. Scanning for stocks in play and trading unknown stocks is an approach I have resisted for my entire career but I think I have to go there now. I won't do it without a solid method/plan and a hard set of rules. I'm not too proud to look at a "beginner" book to figure out how to do this. This book is exceptional. It gave me what I wanted and I will build on the information using what I already know. The author is an engineer and being of a methodical/mechanical mindset myself, I was happy with the way he laid it all out. There is also good information on other topics for real beginners such as the importance of risk management, emotional control which are important.
I will recommend this book to people who ask me how to begin day trading.
