Day Trading QuickStart Guide: The Simplified Beginner's Guide to Winning Trade Plans, Conquering the Markets, and Becoming a Successful Day Trader (Trading & Investing - QuickStart Guides)

Picked up this book to hone my Day Trading skills. What I got was a comprehensive from the ground up study on Trading. If you are a beginner this book talks about the mindset of a trader and what do you really want from trading along with (proven) strategies to get you off to a manageable start. If you have been trading for a while this book opens your eyes to other points of view along with commentary as if you were talking to Troy as a friend. I had no idea there were so many variations on the basic strategy so I could find one that felt good and worked for me.

I started trading back in december of 2020 not really knowing too much. Buy low and sell high although due to most brokers alerting you about the day trades are hitting close to the 4 limit. I learned quickly that I more enjoy swing trading as it's less stressful for me. But so far in this book I have read a couple chapters (and will add more to this review once I finish it), and with that I have learned significantly that day trading is what I want to do eventually. First is growing my assets to meet requirements to day trade with the budget I have started my initial trading portfolio. Now with regards to the book. First I was realizing that day trading is a beast that I don't fully grasp or understand to the degree, yet. But I will say the first couple chapters I have read so far give you some insight and fundamentals to get you in the mindset of trading as a profession. I appreciate the attention to details. For example when I came to the idea of training as a source of income I just thought just that. I want money. But this book also gives you suggestions and questions to ask yourself as you go along your journey. I have then realized that in wanting to day trade one day that I just really enjoy number crunching and the rush of watching numbers go red and green. I definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in even just understanding the fundamentals as this will give you a lot to work with in improving yourself and your mindset going forward.

It's a book for beginners. I don't consider myself a beginner, but the content of the book is very valuable for any trader; it has reminded me of many ideas and tips for getting consistency in my trading. I would have liked to have read this book 5 years ago

Outstanding book on day trading. I’ve read 12 trading books in 2025 and this is the very best one.

Easy to read. I love this book!

Good for someone with ZERO knowledge about trading and a good start but a waste of time for the rest. The books repeats the same theories, concepts, ideas scattered all over the books. Part IV is supposedly step-by-step guide but as you read along, you realised that they are rephrase/rearrange of thing already repeated in earlier. Just how many times you have to repeat about Money mgmt, Psychology, running a company, becoming CEO, doing R&D. Downloadable digital asset is broker discount link and Microsoft Excel trade journal, a real value right! If you looking for looking for edge to improve your win rate, strategies, etc. Do look elsewhere. Not to mention the font is super small and all figures/charts are in greyscale / bw. What this book really is a sales pitch for the author subscription/ paying membership site.

This is an amazing book. I learned so much from it. For a quick start guide, this book goes far beyond what I was expecting, offering me some very innovative trading techniques and ideas that have really helped me. Mr. Noonan’s tactics and trading concepts are refreshing and unique. I don’t understand some of the reviews here that would say otherwise. I think some people are posting their critiques without even reading the contents. If you want to learn how to be a successful trader, with a step-by-step guide to follow, then buy THIS book. Don’t believe the haters. This will be a resource that I personally turn to regularly as I go through the 'steps to trading success' as taught in this guide. It's like a roadmap, which is what a guide should be. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to learn how to succeed at trading.

This is a very thorough presentation of what it is to be a day trader and what steps must be taken to be successful in trading. Great information for beginners and those who struggle to be successful in trading. While this book does provide all the steps needed to be successful, and it is written in an easy to understand format, if you are brand new to trading, you will need additional guidance to nail down exactly how to complete some of the steps. Great resource!! I highly recommend it!
