Best day trading books for stocks?

[smilingsynic]

I hate it when people don't answer my questions but instead answer a question I didn't ask. So out of respect to the question, here is my answer: authors worth considering include Barry Rudd's two books, Al Brooks's four books, and Bob Volman's two books (in no order). The titles are all in print and easily obtained. I don't have the time to write them all about.

That said, nothing beats experience, discipline, and rigorous self-study. I am typing this on Christmas Eve while taking a break from studying my years of intraday charts. If trading were as easy as reading a book, just about everyone would be successful.

Good luck to you.

Hi,

Any recomendation for day trading stocks?

Thanks

Traders of the New Era.

The author posts on ET.

Wish more chapters would be added in a third Kindle release, though there are already a wealth of interviews in the book.

I especially enjoyed the chapter Bot Destroyer, as well as the explanations of why limit orders are not the panecea most retail traders think they are: Adverse Selection.

"How I trade for a living" by Gary Smith. The author also posts here on ET.
If you can find it, I would suggest instead the first essay of Gary "Live the dream by profitably Day Trading Stock Futures".

Look at the amazon page of the author here: https://www.amazon.com/Gary-Smith/e/B001IR17M4?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000

That book an absolute little gem when I owned it many years back.

If you want to find the best book on any subject, use Amazon.

Type in the subject to get a list of books then check the reviews.

The more reviews the better. You probably don't want to bother with anything that has less than 66% 5 star reviews. I usually start at the 1 and 2 star reviews to get a feeling if the book is worthwhile. If those complain about shipping speed, print quality and shit that has nothing to do with the subject you'll probably get a pretty good read.

Andrew Aziz was mentioned earlier in the thread...

I don't trade using his strategies, but I enjoyed reading his first stock daytrading book, which has some practical advice and is pretty good for these kinds of books.
