Day Trading Micro Futures for Income: The Beginner’s Gateway to Trading for a Living

This is not an in-depth analysis of the futures market and related instruments (there are other books for that). This book is a straightforward and to-the-point summary of how to approach futures day trading. In other words, it is exactly what a beginner trader of futures contracts needs to know - no fluff and self-praise. Although much shorter and less technical the the other books I purchased to help me start my journey into day trading futures, this was the most useful and I greatly appreciate the author’s practical approach to the topic (and his YouTube videos are equally helpful).

Very, very informative without hitting you with a wide open fire hose of information. Don also has a YT channel which is where I discovered this book. He espouses trading with the macd as your primary source indicator. He also only trades the micro mini stock index futures. While the profits to be made are small, so are the risks. And profits can be increased by trading more contracts. This book and his videos were an eye opener. He covers psychology, discipline, why to trade the micro mini's vs. stocks and much more. I would recommend this as great starting point for those just starting out.

I have watched tons of videos and read a few books on day trading and this one explains it the best. The author has a great approach and he makes it easily understandable.

This book offers a great introduction into micro futures. It isn't heavy with a million technical analysis trading strategies to confuse the beginner. It focuses more on trading psychology while giving you descriptions of the aspects and tools for trading Futures.

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 :)

Don keeps it short and to the point, but with words of wisdom and anecdotes along the way- just like in his videos.

I've read a lot about trading this year and I would say of you're a beginner and just want the simple tools to get started this is where to start. I'd say 25% of this book is technical while the rest is about the psychology of trading which from experience is the MAIN limiter for most people wanting to stay in the market. Master yourself and you'll master your strategy. Highly recommended, thanks for the tips Don.

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.

Ein 100-Seiten-Buch in dem der Autor Kapitel für Kapitel, Satz für Satz, ja Wort für Wort auf den Punkt kommt. Der Inhalt führt genau dahin, wo der Trader hin will: Zum Eigentlichen. Befolgt in allen Schritten steht nur noch der Ausführende, der Mensch zwischen Tätigkeit und Profiten. Ich bin sicher, dass bei Aufbringen von ZEIT und GEDULD im Zusammenhang mit den Anweisungen des Autor nahezu Jedermann Erfolg haben wird! Hans

Very good brilliance

Ho letto molti libri di trading e di analisi tecnica, ma questo è senza dubbio il migliore. È semplice, pratico e con qualcosa di concreto.

Straight to the point, very informative and helpful. I took some notes that will definitely help me with my trades.

Simple and well explained. Very sound advice.
