I've read my share of books and I was pressed to find one that I would recommend on day trading specifically. After you read a couple, you quickly realize that they are all the same ... discuss a couple of indicators, explain what trend is, describe some made up set ups which look good on paper and easy to follow, dedicate few chapters to psychology. I don't think I came a cross any book which had anything with some edge (obviously, I may have missed it). BTW, Trading For A Living is the only one I actually read from that list and it's a very good trading book to start with, but not much different from the others.

@zdreg, do you have a book to recommend for day trading?

Vin, thank you! A couple days ago I bought that first book you mentioned "How to Day Trade for a Living" and I'm looking forward to reading it. I appreciate the detailed post, I'll have to check them out.

qlai, thank you for the insight. I'm sure a lot of what makes day trading a thing are a few key components and then advice or experience. As I wrote above, I bought that book and I'm looking forward to at least use it to gain knowledge even if I don't "day trade" but just want to understand the market better.

After reading a lot of these responses and posts, I'm starting to wonder if I should be less focused on day trading and more focused on trading for the short-term.

I'm sure you've heard of the Market Wizard books. The reason I find them so critical to read is because they discuss variety of trading styles. This is the best way, imho, to find what fits your personality. Figuring out the right fit by itself may take years! I remember when I read the book, I said - Wow, I definitely dig how Paul Tudor Jones trades ... watch the markets and the mass psychology to identify major turning points and hit it hard. Yeah, right. LOL

Hey all,

For a little over a decade now I have been investing in commodities like gold, silver, land, etc. but have always avoided the stock market as I prefer to physically hold my investments. But recently, after looking around and talking to folks, I've became familiar with the idea of 'Day Trading' and now I'm intrigued.

I'm not looking for someone to tell me how to make $500 in an hour, or give me the golden ticket; I'm just looking for suggestions on great day trading books to read, YouTube channels to help me learn, or any advice/tips from experienced day traders. I want to learn and grow, and I want to find the right path to do so.

Any help or advice would be amazing! I appreciate it in advance.

Good news is most of the day trading books have really dropped the bids, or in some cases free-ebooks/videos.

I seldom daytrade because of the principle= grow turtles like traders in Singapore.
But if you wanted to day trade/shorts/bear trend; this summer maybe a good time?? NOt a prediction. And watch out for data errors ,SQQQ did not go up 333%,LOL must be a stock split.................................................................
