How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth
How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is a book of straight talk about what it really takes to become a day trader, and how to learn what you need to know.
Do you think you know what day trading is really about? If so, where did you get your information? Social media is full of people claiming that they made a killing on a stock. Just as many people will warn you to stay away from day trading because they lost everything on some “sure thing” that went bad in a hurry.
So what should you believe? How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth is the first book to talk candidly and in detail about how to become a day trader. It’s written by me, Ross Cameron, the guy who turned $583 into more than $10 million. Though my results are not typical, they are fully verified and audited. I also have over one million subscribers who tune into my YouTube channel to watch me trade. They see both my winning trades and my losing ones. Yes, even I have days where I lose money. That’s just the reality, and that’s what I want to share with you.
This book is unique among day trading books in three ways:
First, it’s written by someone with documented success from more than 20,000 trades. Sure there are lots of people on social media calling themselves “day traders” who will try to impress you with one amazing trade. Insider tip: You should only be impressed if they offer you an independently audited record of ALL their trades: the winning ones AND the losing ones.
Second, of all the books for day traders, this one is unique: I clear away a lot of “head trash” that comes from social media, friends, and family who may have opinions but no real facts or deep experience with day trading. It addresses questions and opinions that most people have about day trading, like:
“If it is possible to day trade profitably, why haven’t the giant trading firms taken it over and monopolized it by this point?””If it’s possible for regular people to make consistent money by day trading, then why isn’t everyone doing it?””Day trading is gambling. Nothing more, nothing less.””What role does luck have in day trading?””I have a hard time believing that you will tell me exactly the methods you use to trade. If you did that, wouldn’t you lose your competitive edge?””I’m a gamer who’s incredibly fast with the keyboard. Why can’t I skip all the concepts and learning, and simply follow you as you trade?”
You will get specific, honest answers to all of these questions and more.
The third thing that makes this book unique is I have identified 20 specific “guardrails” over my many years of trading. These are rules I follow, plus some I wish I knew when I was starting out. They are incredibly useful to keep in mind during the heat of trading-and it does get hot.
If you’re looking for day trading books for beginners, this is the book to get. Plus if you feel like you’re not a beginner but your day trading is going nowhere, this could be the book to have in order to get you back on track.
As important as charts and financial ratios are, those things come later. If you’re thinking about day trading for a living, what you need to know first is whether day trading fits your personality, and how to avoid the biggest myths and mistakes that will cost you time and money.
Real day trading is not anything like what you see on social media. After you read this book, you’ll know why. You’ll also have a solid roadmap of day trading strategies to take, if you decide to explore this amazing profession.

How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth by Ross Cameron
How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth by Ross Cameron delivers a clear and realistic introduction to day trading without hype or false promises. The book focuses on core principles such as risk management, position sizing, discipline, and understanding market behavior, making it especially valuable for beginners who want an honest picture of what day trading actually requires. Ross Cameron emphasizes consistency and capital preservation over chasing big wins, which sets this book apart from many overly aggressive trading guides. Written in an easy-to-understand style, it serves as a strong foundational read for anyone serious about learning day trading the right way.

A must read for anyone interested in Day trading.
Ross Cameron’s How to Day Trade is an essential read for anyone considering day trading as a serious hobby or side pursuit. It’s not just a technical manual — it’s a personal roadmap from someone who’s actually walked the walk. Cameron doesn’t glamorize the lifestyle; instead, he lays out a structured, disciplined approach built around his now well-known 5 pillars of stock selection.The book is especially valuable for beginners because it balances theory with personal lessons from Cameron’s early success and painful losses. His transparency — including detailed trade examples and psychological challenges — sets this apart from the fluff found in many trading books. He clearly aims to “give back” to the community by distilling what actually works.

One of the best books I’ve come across on day trading!
One of the best books I’ve come across on day trading! It’s an exceptional resource for anyone interested in getting into day trading. This book does a fantastic job of breaking down complicated concepts into easy-to-understand language. This guide is packed with valuable insights.What really stands out is the author’s focus on risk management and discipline, which I believe are key to long-term success. Rather than focusing on get-rich-quick tactics, the book emphasizes the importance of patience, consistency, and careful decision-making. Definitely a must read!!!

Day Trading
Good book on basic day trading fundamentals. I’m a beginning trader and this was my first book on day trading. Informative and direct. The only reason I gave it 4 star review is that I’d like to see more on getting in, how long to stay in, and when to exit. It covers this basically, I’d just like a more nuanced discussion about it. I suppose that may come with time and experience. There may be other books as well thst cover these things in more detail. Either way, good book, I’m reading it again at the moment.

Easy read, concise, clear, and full of insight for new day-traders
Book is a good companion to watching Ross Cameron’s YouTube videos. It gives his basic search criteria (that took him lots of trial and error to discover) and some examples of student success. He gives a little background to his life story and what it took for him to break through and become profitable. His search criteria helps you find the right stocks at the right time with the right strategy. Success or failure ultimately depends on skill, intuition, pattern recognition, and risk management. His YouTube channel and this book give you the right framework to train yourself. I like that he is against mirror-trading and teaches people how to replicate his process so you don’t become dependent upon him. This method really isn’t able to be mirror-traded as most trades happen in under 2-3 minutes start to finish. But if you can look in the right place at the right time, eventually it just becomes a matter of timing and intuition.His early struggles gave him years of practice before he started getting gains, which in my opinion shows that it isn’t a “get rich quick scheme,” even if that is the eventual result. It is a “lose riches quick” scheme until you can figure out how to win, and he is trying to help you make the right adjustments to see profitability. Ultimately timing and intuition are everything. Think of it like being a total amateur that has never played baseball, trying to hit the fastest MLB pitches that have ever been thrown at you. It takes a lot of time to gain necessary skill, and no one hits 1.000. One winner can offset 3 strikeouts so following his basic advice seems like a good method. Theory can be different from reality though, so I find the testimonials at the end of the book encouraging because he has proved that his process is replicable with LOTS of practice. Practice is the key to consistency which is the key to profitability. Learning discipline and gaining skill and intuition is a personal journey that takes time and his book and YouTube content is like a funnel guiding you in the right direction, if you choose high speed scalping and day-trading as your preferred strategy.

Best Methods for Day Trading
Got introduced to Ross Cameron while watching YouTube and haven’t looked back since. He’s a fantastic teacher, he’s authentic and trustworthy. He doesn’t need to show you rented Lamborghini’s to prove his success. His success is proven by his audited financial statements, and his very open and clear strategy. I’ve been using his strategy to earn around $500 to $1000 daily. As he suggests, I started with a simulator then moved on to a small account of $2000 so that I didn’t blow up my life while I gained the skill. I ordered the book for my son to study and try warrior trading methods as well. The only criticism I have is I wish there was a colour version available to show the candle sticks in red and green. But other than that I’m happy with the success I’m getting from applying his strategies.

I just recently came across Ross on YouTube after becoming interested in day trading. Take it from me he is excellent at explaining what to do and what not to do when it comes to day trading and he explains everything so that anyone can follow and learn. If you have any interest in day trading this is the book to get and also follow his YouTube!
