About Day Trading Kills
An evidence-based book exposing why roughly 99% of day traders lose money — and what to do instead.
Our Mission
Day trading is sold as a path to freedom. The data tells a different story. Multiple peer-reviewed studies — Barber & Odean, Chague et al. (2020), Brazil's CVM, and CFTC disclosures from US brokers — show that 70–99% of active traders lose money over any meaningful period. Day Trading Kills exists to make that evidence impossible to ignore, in plain language, in seven languages.

Ali Roghani is an author, entrepreneur, and writer based in the United States. After years of observing how social media glamorizes day trading, he wrote Day Trading Kills to give beginners — especially young people and those in emerging markets — the unfiltered truth before they risk their savings.
