Day Trading Micro Futures for Income: The Beginner’s Gateway to Trading for a Living Paperback – October 27, 2019

Excellent book, I recommend it!

Don cuts to the chase and provides useful insights and a good starting plan for trading . A good book for beginners. The cartoon on Comforting Lies and Unpleasant Truths says it all!

Very good book for the beginner such as myself, well written and easy to follow.

This book is focused, as its title states, on day-trading the four relatively new Micro E-Mini Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Futures contracts. Even though it is a relatively easy read, it does a very good job of orienting new traders around one method of day trading these contracts.The author has a growing library of You Tube videos that are full of examples of using the subjects covered in the book. For this reason the book is a "must buy" as a resource on these materials.The author's "excitement" about the importance of these contracts for providing "affordable" access for the small investor is justified. I believe it is an important resource to learn about these new futures contracts because there are not very many other books available, right now.

Very informative and easy to read.Don's strategy is explained and has easy to read graphs and charts.

I started training to become a day trader in December 2022. I read several books and joined a couple of the premier day trading sites and spent a decent amount of coin to do this. While they both offer plenty of training and have live chatrooms, it was a little overwhelming to me as I still work from home in my primary career. I found out about Don after reading an entry in a Reddit Day Trading forum. There are some people that come into your life that end up changing it for the better. I truly believe Don is one of these people and I thank God that I found him and his style of trading.This book is very easy to read and understand. The videos on his YouTube channel (150+) are an excellent source of training and the best thing is they're free. I'd say they average about 10-15 minutes each. Don is a teacher, plain and simple. I spent the price of a large pizza on this book, watched most of his videos and started my live day trading career today. No $25k day trading rule to follow is the best part of trading the Micro E-Mini's in my opinion. You can get started with just a couple of thousand dollars (maybe even less). No watching stock tickers and spending money every month just to be able to day trade. No Trade Idea's scanner or DAS Pro monthly charges are needed to trade the Micro E-Mini's. I've spent a total of $20 to learn what Don teaches and to have the confidence to trade effectively. I do recommend trading in a practice simulator before attempting any live trading. This is a must and Don explains this in his book and videos.Thank you Don for finding a way to day trade without having to make a huge investment or having to look at multiple tickers everyday. I like simple and this trading style is simple. I didn't say it was easy, just simple :)

Simple, intuitive and very hands on.It is practical and very realistic.A good point, is that day trading has to be approached as a business realistically and you should see it as such, if you want to succeed at it.Many useful tips coming from experience.Jorge Suria Colon, MD

This book was just ok. It doesn't tell you anything his first 2 videos doesn't tell you. He basically says to use MACD and practice a lot. I was hoping for more or explaining things in depth. I think this book may help the very beginner who has never heard of MACD. I have never traded futures before but already knew almost all of the information covered in this book.I did try to contact the author about a question I had related to his strategy that he did not address in the book. I don't think he even read my question but replied back with a rather snarky reply and included links to a bunch of his other videos and affiliate links. It did not address the question, and I feel like he is just a salesman and may make most of his money from selling products over trading. It did not affect my review for this book. I would have given it a 3 star regardless of the interaction.
