FOREWORD

Introduction to day trading

Welcome to an exciting journey into the world of day trading, a path that takes you not only through the financial markets, but also through your own self-image and personal development. Day trading, often misunderstood and surrounded by myths, is both an art and a science that requires discipline, patience and a deep understanding of market dynamics. In this foreword, we open the door to a universe where seconds can mean hours and where information overload is both a challenge and a source of countless opportunities.

Day trading is the buying and selling of financial instruments within a single trading day. The aim is to profit from short-term price movements and end the trade with a neutral position before the market closes. However, this definition, as precise as it may be, only scratches the surface of what day trading really is. It is a commitment that requires not only financial but also emotional investment, a constant learning and adapting to the ever-changing waves of the markets.

In the following chapters of this book, we will unfold the complexities of day trading, from basic concepts and strategies to advanced techniques and the essential psychology of trading. Together we will navigate through technical analysis, explore the importance of volume and market technique, develop effective risk management strategies, and learn how to pick the right stocks and trade various investment vehicles such as futures and forex.

This book is aimed at beginners who are ready to take the first step in their day trading career. But it is also a guide for those who have already taken their first steps on this fascinating path and want to deepen their knowledge. Our aim is not only to teach you the tools of the trade, but also to give you the confidence you need to succeed in the markets.

Day trading is more than just a trading strategy; it is a way of life that requires constant vigilance, flexibility and a willingness to learn from every trade - be it a win or a loss. It offers the opportunity to achieve financial independence, but in return demands dedication and a never-ending quest for knowledge.

Let's start this journey together, with open eyes and an open mind, ready to unlock the secrets of day trading. We are at the beginning of a journey that has the potential to change not only your financial future, but also your view of the world.

Aims of the book

At the heart of this book lies a mission: not only to open the doors to a world of financial opportunity for you, the budding day trader, but also to guide you safely through the maze of day trading.

We want you to feel confident and competent when using technical analysis tools.

Teaching practical strategies and techniques

A key aim of this book is to provide you with practical strategies and techniques that you can integrate directly into your day-to-day trading. From risk management to position sizing and stop setting, we provide you with concrete tools to optimize your trades and increase your chances of success.

Illuminating the psychological aspects of trading
