Day Trading is Math: The Formulas for Profitable Day Trading in Any Market - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Day trading isn’t magic. It’s math.

Most traders spend their time searching for the perfect indicator, setup, or prediction. But profitable trading isn’t about knowing what the market will do next. It’s about understanding the mathematical relationship between probability, risk, reward, position size, and execution.

Day Trading Is Math gives traders a practical framework for measuring what actually works.

Steve Burns and Holly Burns break day trading down into numbers you can calculate, test, and improve—so trading decisions can be based on evidence rather than emotion.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Measure every trade using R-multiples
• Calculate reward-to-risk ratios before entering a trade
• Trade and test four defined day-trading setups
• Use relative volume to identify stocks attracting unusual participation
• Determine when your trading edge is strongest by time of day
• Apply conditional probability to discover when a setup works best
• Calculate position size from your actual dollar risk
• Measure MAE, MFE, expectancy, and transaction costs
• Backtest a trading strategy without fooling yourself with hindsight
• Establish daily loss limits and manage losing streaks
• Understand drawdowns and risk of ruin
• Determine the capital and expectancy needed to trade full-time
• Calculate the impact of trading costs and taxes on what you actually keep

A high win rate does not necessarily make a profitable trader. A low win rate does not necessarily make an unprofitable one. What matters is the mathematics behind the entire trading system.

Whether you’re building your first day-trading strategy or trying to determine why an existing strategy isn’t producing the results you expected, Day Trading Is Math gives you the formulas for finding out.

Stop guessing. Start measuring.
