Day Trading Kills: A Must-Read for Anyone Considering Day Trading Forex, Futures, Stocks, Options, or Cryptocurrencies
By Ali Roghani
Every day, thousands of people are lured into the high-speed world of day trading. The promise? Fast money, total freedom, and the thrill of beating the markets from the comfort of your home. With platforms offering commission-free trades and social media full of self-proclaimed trading “gurus,” it’s easy to believe day trading is your ticket to financial independence.
But here’s the truth no one talks about: day trading destroys more lives than it enriches.
In Day Trading Kills, Ali Roghani pulls back the curtain on an industry built on illusion, risk, and heartbreak. This book is not a trading manual filled with strategies or chart patterns. It’s something far more important: a brutally honest reality check for anyone thinking about stepping into this world.
Roghani dives deep into what really happens when you start day trading—the sleepless nights, the psychological toll, the addiction-like behavior, and the slow, silent drain on your mental health, relationships, and bank account. He explores the dangers of margin trading, the emotional rollercoaster of wins and losses, and the powerful psychological forces that keep people hooked even as they lose everything.
And it’s not just theory. Backed by real studies and hard data, Day Trading Kills reveals how only a tiny fraction—less than 1%—of day traders consistently make money, while the vast majority end up worse off than they started. Yet the myth persists. Why? Because the industry depends on it.
Whether you're just curious about day trading or already trying to claw your way back from losses, this book offers a fresh perspective that’s desperately needed in a world oversaturated with hype and misinformation. Roghani’s writing is clear, sharp, and unapologetically direct. He doesn’t sugarcoat the facts—but he also doesn’t leave you in despair. Instead, he offers guidance on how to approach financial markets responsibly, and how to recognize the red flags before they become regrets.
This book isn’t meant to scare you away from trading entirely—it’s meant to protect you. Before you put your hard-earned money on the line, before you get swept up in charts, leverage, and “fear of missing out,” take a few hours to read Day Trading Kills.
It might be the most important investment decision you ever make.
