FARAMARZ KOWSARI · TRADING BOOKS
Short-horizon trading compresses the time available for analysis while making execution costs and discipline more important. This collection covers scalping, day trading, opening ranges, first-hour structure, failed breakouts and intraday trade management. The books emphasize session context, precise invalidation, realistic spreads and slippage, and the ability to stand aside when conditions do not justify a trade. The goal is not more activity; it is clearer decisions under faster conditions.

A practical intraday trading title for readers who want sharper session context, faster decision structure and disciplined execution under short time horizons.
A Practical AI-Assisted Roadmap for Beginners
Day Trading from Zero is a beginner roadmap built around essential market principles, risk discipline, chart reading, strategy testing and prompt engineering. It explicitly treats AI as a learning assistant, chart-review partner, journaling coach and structured-thinking tool—not as an oracle or permission to risk money. The book encourages simulation, journaling and evidence before live trading and repeatedly warns that leverage and day trading can produce rapid losses.
The Smart Money Guide to RTH Gaps, Consequent Encroachment, Quadrants, and Intraday Repricing
Opening Range Gap Trading begins with a strict measurable object: the difference between a declared Regular Trading Hours open and a selected previous-session reference price. It distinguishes the Opening Range Gap from both the opening range and the Fair Value Gap, anchors U.S. equity-index analysis to the 09:30 ET cash-market open, and keeps the broader electronic-session context visible so that an RTH gap is not mistaken for an absence of overnight trading. Timezone, daylight-saving, holiday, early-close, contract-roll and reference-price conventions are treated as part of the model rather than as administrative details.
A Practical Guide to Market Structure, Precision Entries, Fast Trade Management, and Risk Control
The 1-Minute & 5-Minute Scalping Playbook is built around a strict division of labor between timeframes: the five-minute chart supplies context, structure and location, while the one-minute chart is primarily an execution lens. It covers the cost of trading fast, liquidity and volatility, market structure, session mapping, no-trade conditions, trigger quality, candle sequences, precision entries and stop placement before introducing eight distinct playbooks.
Trading the 9:30-10:30 New York Session with Smart Money Concepts
The First Hour Dealing Range turns the 9:30-10:30 New York regular-session window into a structured decision framework rather than an automatic setup. The book is intentionally cumulative: pre-market context gives the Opening Range Gap meaning, the 9:30 open makes early information measurable, and the completed first-hour range creates fixed references for disciplined decisions after 10:30. Its recurring operating choice is Trade, Wait, or Reject, with observations kept separate from conviction until price behavior, target space and risk justify action.
The Turtle Soup Trading Strategy
Turtle Soup Strategy separates the historical failed-breakout idea from the modern vocabulary often layered on top of it. The classic architecture begins with a prior 20-period extreme, a fresh break beyond that boundary and a reclaim; a fresh break without reclaim is not the setup. The book also makes clear that Turtle Soup is not simply the original Turtle trend-following system run in reverse.
Fast intraday frameworks for session structure, opening behavior, short-horizon execution, scalping and disciplined day-trading decisions.
