About the Book

We are all going to die one day. Until then, why not go all-in on something that can change your life for the better?

The title says it all. Day trading offers opportunities for financial independence (FI)—but only if you have the Special Set of Skills (SSOS) required to thrive.

The reality is that the stakes are high, the consequences are immediate, and the market ruthlessly exposes your weaknesses.

In Get Rich or Die Day Trading (G.R.O.D.D.), you will look past the surface-level misunderstanding about you and the market, by diving straight into the brutal truth of what it actually takes to be a profitable Day Trader.

This book demystifies the mechanics of your psychology, by breaking down exactly what causes you to win—and what ultimately causes you to lose.

About the Author

Nicky Ray Valentine

NRV grew up in the Bronx during the tumultuous ’80s. As a kid, he played cards with his older cousins for money—perhaps that is where he developed his appetite for risk. At age 14, a family member rented the movie Trading Places (starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis).

NRV was introduced to the world of Wall St. via the TV screen. Seeing traders in the pit shouting their Buy/Sell orders captured his interest. Trading Places planted a subconscious seed in NRV’s mind; it would be decades before that seed would grow and push NRV off his limb and into the piranha-infested waters of Day Trading (DYTRDNG).

NRV did not come from a world where folks worked on Wall St. The closest he ever came was as a foot messenger in NYC, delivering stock certificates to companies in lower Manhattan. He had no idea of the value each security certificate held, or that one day he too would be trading stocks.

NRV started trading in November 2017, and he wrote this book to provide a clearer mental analysis of what trading entails. To would-be traders and all other traders: this book was written to help y’all better understand yourselves as well as the markets. NRV’s aim is to make trading clear, simple, and straightforward. If you are curious or confused about Day Trading, come on in—this book was written with you in mind.
