No one should contemplate day trading without giving thought to the ways he can lose, and all the ways to lessen or avoid them. Yet many people enter the game with unrealistic expectations, unaware of what it takes to succeed. Seminars and software alone do not make a successful day trader, cautions author Josh DiPietro. Instead, a trader must learn hard lessons of self-discipline, consistency, and staying in the game for the long haul to have a real chance of success. In \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Day Trading Stocks\u003c\/i\u003e, DiPietro offers the amateur day trader a brutally honest look at the pitfalls of day trading--and how to hopefully avoid them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in an engaging and sometimes humorous tone, \u003ci\u003eThe Truth About Day Trading Stocks\u003c\/i\u003e draws on the author's own experiences as a day trader to offer a clear-cut departure from typical \"golden goose\" strategies promising instant wealth.

After dispensing with popular illusions, DiPietro proceeds to offer realistic, practical trading advice--comparing pay-per-trade with pay-per-share brokers, determining which works best and when, offering suggestions on how to avoid the prospect of perfect trades turning ugly, and more. At the end of the book, he also includes a section called \"Rules to Remember,\" a list of over eighty rules, simply stated and easy to grasp, to benefit amateurs' performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, the author describes his development of acute self-awareness while figuring out how to succeed.
