Perfect for you if...

  • You want to understand day trading from someone who's lived through market crashes and rebuilt their approach from the ground up.
  • You're interested in the psychological side of trading—managing greed and fear—not just technical rules.
  • You prefer learning from real stories and mistakes rather than theoretical models that sound good on paper.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for get-rich-quick promises or a system that requires minimal effort or attention.
  • You want a passive, hands-off investing approach that lets you ignore the markets.
  • You're uncomfortable with detailed technical explanations or the honest acknowledgment that trading carries real risk.

About this book

Winning the Day Trading Game presents an insider's perspective on short-term trading and outlines proven strategies for profitable trading. Professional trader Tom Busby explains how the strategies that generated significant early-career profits ultimately failed during the 1987 stock market crash, and describes how he subsequently reinvented himself as a high-percentage day trader. The book combines personal trading experiences with technical explanations to detail the core elements of his approach. Busby demonstrates how to achieve market success by managing the competing impulses of greed and fear, maintaining consistent risk management, and taking responsibility for trading decisions. With 25 years of experience as a professional trader and broker at Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney, Busby founded the Day Trading Institute in 1996, which has become one of the world's most successful trading schools.
