It is huge step when you make the decision to become a day trader. Most brand new self-directed traders are getting into this business because they think they can make quick money and become rich beyond their dreams. While that may be true, it is not as easy as one thinks and certainly will not happen as soon as one thinks. There are only two groups of people who are doing business in the markets, the professionals and the retail investors and traders. New traders have no idea they are entering a business where there are people in the live market who will walk over dead bodies to make money. They are entering a business where the smart money in the business are looking to drain your trading capital account on a daily basis and most of the time they do because new people come into the business unprepared or at best under prepared as well as underfunded and have not developed a trading edge before they enter the market with real money. New self-directed traders prefer smaller time frames because that is what they are conditioned to think is the best way to trade. Just remember, the lower you go in time frame the more you are actually dramatically increasing your risk because you end up trading nothing but noise. Why would you want to do that, increase your risk? This book is the most brutal book about day trading a beginner will ever read and has information that professional traders don't want you to know about because brand new self-directed traders just entering the business are who the professionals make all of their money from. This book is meant to be encouraging and deterring at the same time for the brand new trader who is wandering wide eyed into the shark tank called the financial market and hopefully once you have read the entire book you will be frightened enough to rethink your day trading game plan for making money.
