About This Book

The Problem This Book Solves

Day trading looks simple from the outside — buy in the morning, sell by the close — and that impression is exactly what ruins most beginners. The real work is in position sizing, risk limits, reading a candlestick chart honestly, and having a written plan you follow when the market moves against you. Day Trading 101 by David Borman starts with those fundamentals rather than with promises about returns.

This book solves the problem of learning to trade without a framework. Instead of a collection of tips, it builds the discipline in order: what the markets are and who is in them, how to construct a trading plan, how to manage risk on every position, how to recognise the patterns traders actually use, and where automated software fits.

What Is Day Trading 101? A Complete Overview

Day Trading 101: From Understanding Risk Management and Creating Trade Plans to Recognizing Market Patterns and Using Automated Software, an Essential Primer in Modern Day Trading is an accessible, structured introduction to short-term trading. Written by David Borman and published by Adams Media (an imprint of Simon & Schuster) in 2018, it is part of the acclaimed Adams 101 series, known for making technical subjects approachable without watering them down.

The book covers the full arc a new trader needs: market structure and commonly traded products, building and testing a trading plan, capital requirements, risk management, candlestick and chart-pattern reading, trading psychology, and the automated and algorithmic tools now available to retail traders.

Who Should Read Day Trading 101?

Day Trading 101 is written for people starting out, and for self-directed investors who want to trade more deliberately. It is particularly valuable for:

  • Complete beginners who want an honest, structured foundation before risking capital
  • Self-directed investors moving from long-term holding into shorter-term trading
  • Finance and business students who want a practical complement to theory-heavy coursework
  • Part-time traders who need a repeatable process rather than ad-hoc decisions
  • Anyone evaluating automated trading software and wanting to understand what it does and does not solve

Key Things You Will Learn

  • How the markets actually work — participants, venues, and the products day traders trade
  • How to build a trading plan you can follow under pressure, and how to test it
  • Risk management — position sizing, stop placement, and protecting your capital base
  • Reading candlestick charts — the four prices in every candle and what they signal
  • Recognising market patterns and distinguishing a setup from noise
  • Trading psychology — the behaviour that separates consistent traders from the rest
  • Automated and algorithmic software — what it can do for a retail trader, and its limits
