How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth (Paperback or Softback)

Here's the brutally honest truth: Most traders lose money.

How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth takes a candid and detailed look at who trading is for, what it really takes, and how to get started as a day trader.

It's written by me, Ross Cameron, the guy who turned $583 into more than $20 million.

My results are not typical. But unlike other people you may have seen on social media talking about the millions they've made (while standing next to a rented sports car), my profits as a day trader have been independently audited and verified. I also publish a recap of my trading on my YouTube channel every single day, whether it's a red day or a green day. That transparency has earned me more than 2 million subscribers.

That same tradition of transparency runs through every page of How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth.

Here's what makes this book different:

1. It's written by someone with documented results. More than 35,000 trades, independently audited. Plenty of people on social media call themselves day traders and will try to impress you with one amazing trade. Here's my belief: If you're teaching people how to start day trading, you should have broker statements that back up your own ability to day trade profitably. If others aren't willing to provide proof of profitability, you should ask yourself why.

2. It gives you twenty specific guardrails. These are the rules I follow, plus the ones I wish I'd known when I was starting out. They're what keep you in the game during the moments when trading gets hot, and it does get hot.

3. It clears away the head trash. Most of what you've heard about day trading comes from social media, friends, or family with strong opinions and no real experience. This book gives straight answers to the questions everyone has.

So if you're looking for a day trading book for beginners, this is the one to start with. And if you're not a beginner but your trading is going nowhere, this may be the book that gets you back on track.

Candlestick charts, technical indicators, and fundamental analysis matter, but they come later. What you need to know first, before you ever place a trade, is whether day trading fits your personality and how to avoid the myths and mistakes that will cost you time and money.

Real day trading is nothing like what you see on social media. After you read this book, you'll know why.

If you listen to my recaps on YouTube, you've already heard what I'm about to say. Trading is risky, most traders lose money, and there is no guarantee you'll find success, whether you learn from me or trade on your own. So please, take it slow and always practice in a simulator before putting real money on the line. You can read my full disclaimer on the Warrior Trading website.

Ross Cameron is a full-time day trader and the founder of Warrior Trading.

Ross was born and raised in Vermont and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vermont College. He graduated from college during the Great Recession and sought out alternative ways to make a living. This is how his journey as a day trader began.

In 2012, Ross founded Warrior Trading as a blog to chronicle his experience learning to day trade. The following year, in 2013, he created a YouTube channel and began uploading lessons on day trading strategies. In 2017, he funded a tiny account with 583 dollars to prove that the day trading strategies he'd been using in a larger account would work equally well in a tiny account.

Over the course of the next 10 years, he grew that account to over 20 million in day trading profits. His results are NOT typical. Most day traders lose money. But Ross isn't an average day trader.

Today, Ross continues to publish Daily Recaps, Watch Lists, and Trading Strategy Lessons to more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube. In his bestselling books, he writes about How to Start Day Trading, Technical Analysis, and Trading Psychology. At Warrior Trading, he provides trading software, including stock scanners, candlestick charts, and breaking news feeds, for active day traders.

Across his YouTube channel, his books, and Warrior Trading, Ross continues to share the lessons he's learned from years of experience in the markets.
