What it does
A long paperback guide to day trading and short term stock trading by Meir Barak, founder of the Tradenet trading school.
- Starts with trading basics and choosing a broker and trading platform
- Covers picking stocks and trading both rising and falling markets
- Explains technical analysis plus basic and advanced trade methods
- Sections on money management, risk management and trading psychology
- Includes the author's story of becoming a day trader
Best for newcomers who want one book that walks through platforms, chart reading, trade setups, risk control and trading psychology. Readers say the psychology sections are the strongest, but they also flag unsupported claims about how markets work, frequent promotion of the author's trading room and content that has aged since 2014.
