Simple, but it does fulfill its promise of providing a simple, easy to follow beginner's strategy for day trading.

Key Takeaways:
-The Day Sniper Strategy-
1. Look for stocks with high relative strength (RS) that are moving strongly in one direction.
2. Wait until 15 minutes after the market opens, and assess if the stock is trading above its average price using the VWAP indicator
3. Once confirmed, buy the stock at a limit order of the current price.
4. Once purchased, set a stop loss of the lowest price in that opening 15 minutes.
5. If you still hold the stock, sell one minute before trading day closure.

Digestion

There’s a great deal to digest here and much of this has to do with being comfortable with the vocabulary. If there is anything I can take from this book is the steps to follow. I’ve written them down and will do trial runs just on paper to see how I do. It is likely available but some direction on reading charts would be beneficial, perhaps Mr. Kratter has covered this elsewhere. Still a solid read for day trading.

Sounds too simplistic

Definitely would work in some situations, but I'd say backtest it and papertrade it until you can identify the right situations for it. It comes down to risk/reward and getting a better handle on win/loss and gains/drawdowns.

Does justice to the title of the book

I think Matt has very well explained the rational behind the strategy he has prescribed.
However you should definitely do your back testing.

It provides a complete handholding if you are just getting started.

Simple and to the point

I will start trying the “sniper method” this week so not sure if it works yet. But I appreciate a straight forward explanation with everything I needed to know in order to start. This is NOT a sales pitch book with no real info to act on.

Quick and simple read that’s straight to the point - biggest takeaway for me is the “Day Sniper” strategy, which is essentially entering when there is a huge gap in the stock price and exiting at the end of the day.

Not bad.

Could have used more technical information, but the basic concept is enough to go on. I'll try it on a paper account before implementing it on my live account.
