About this item

If you want to know the truth about what professional day trading is like—and how to get started with a solid foundation—then this will be the most important book you'll listen to all year.

Ross Cameron is the guy who turned an initial investment of $583 into more than $10 million. No, his results aren't typical—and in fact, day trading didn’t come easily to him. This book describes what it's really like to go from knowing nothing about day trading to becoming highly successful at it.

But much more than a story about Ross Cameron, it's a guidebook about the lessons he's learned along the way. Why make all the mistakes yourself? You'll discover 20 specific "guardrails" that Cameron used to save himself massive grief and money. They might help you on your path to becoming a day trader.

How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth contains brutal honesty about day trading, including who's suited for it and who shouldn’t even try.

If you're looking for a sales pitch about how "anyone can succeed at day trading," this is not the book for you. If you're looking for a realistic and useful description of the highly misunderstood profession of day trading, you just found it.

    This book was a pleasure to read. For those highly interested in Day Trading it is an excellent resource for helping make an informed decision on whether or not to pursue Day Trading as their career. Ross provides substantial information about the reality of Day Trading without diving to deep into the specific details of Strategies and Technical Analysis. It’s a quick read with very easy to understand explanations of a complex business. The great thing is that for those that want to continue their education into Day Trading excellent additional resources are provided in the book to continue the journey. Take a read. It will be well worth your time.

    The first book I’ve finished in a long time, I’m not typically much of a reader. I’ve recently discovered the author Ross Cameron on YouTube as he discusses day trading and the stock market, particularly his momentum trading strategies. I’ve recently taken a keen interest into the markets and day trading and Ross and his program Warrior trading has stood out the most to me, I’ve watched countless hours of his content on YouTube and just now finished the book that only arrived a few days ago. The book offers entry level insight into the stock market and day trading for beginners who are considering getting into stocks, more specifically day trading. Ross does not make any unrealistic promises and shares very digestible information that paves the way for newcomers. Incredible book and thank you Ross for all of your incredible insight. - Matthew

    It is really informative on every aspect of day trading. Day trading is not something you just start to do on your own tomorrow. Reading this book is a real eye opener.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Good Read, but the Audiobook is Free on YouTube.

    I became interested in day-trading a few months ago, and with all things, "what, where, when, how, why, do I start?" questions always hold me back. Mr. Cameron seems to be very transparent about his path to becoming the extremely profitable day trader he is today; what kind of stocks he looks for; where he finds them; when he enters and exits a trade; and how he executes his trades. He posts almost daily to YouTube and recaps his trading day so you can follow along and learn. That being said, If you're interested in picking up this book, I recommended heading over to his YouTube channel first and give it a listen.

    Having read the book and listened the audiobook, I feel like the audiobook is slightly better since Mr. Cameron often interjects more information than what is contained in text.

    Amazing story of a man that struggled to make his place in the world and life. His father having passed, left him with some money but expenses started to pile up and the job market for the fields of interst to him was fiercely competitive. Then he discovered trading on a serious level. He stuck with it and did remarkably well. My father and grandfather were successful in business and one day I asked my grandfather in the luxury condo I resided in for a year and in which he owned what he attributed to his success? He was always intense even though I discovered Warren Buffett in ‘87 - he looked at me a few seconds at the dinner table and said…’,Root, hog or die’. Turns out he stumbled into an area of business that was ingenious and contributed mightily to the building, quite literally, of America. Ross Cameron kind of reminds me of my father and grandfather’s story of a man that discovered a trade and like a fumbled foot ball continues to run like hell with it. He, Ross Cameron, is the real deal. Thousands of videos, research , a book and courses. To quote Ricky Martin lyrics in one of his songs….’Do you really want it?’ Folks if you want it Ross Cameron is your Messiah as is Tim Sykes. Dan.
