I found this book inspiring! It’s such an interesting, concise and informative read. The one thing that really shines through is Richard Cohen’s desire to pass on his knowledge to help others. If you are a beginner trader, there is no better place to start in my opinion. There is also an opportunity to sign up for emails which are very informative and a newly formed UK Telegram Signal Group you can join (one month free, no bank details taken therefore no obligation to continue). This group is amazing, it not only gives you detailed suggestions on trading moves you can make each day but also explains the reasoning behind these ideas. I have been profitable since joining and learnt so much! Whatever happens with my attempts at trading, I’ll always be grateful to have found his book (and also Trading Psychology). For me, it was a complete life changer.

I really didn’t understand much about trading before reading this book. Whilst I wanted to understand the fundamentals and concepts, it has always been portrayed as a pretty exclusive club that I didn’t belong to.

Having now read Richard’s book, I can honestly say that I know so much more about how it works, what to do, and am 100% better prepared than just taking blind punts that I would otherwise have done. For anyone who wants to enter into this world I cannot recommend the book highly enough; there are so many nuggets of information and knowledge, written in a way that is easy to understand, and personally, I now feel SO much better prepared and equipped to begin trading.

I’ve also reached out to the author with further questions, and had a helpful response straight away (on a Saturday too, even more impressive!) so I’m wholeheartedly vouching for this guy.

If you have a desire to trade, and don’t have much clue about how/what to do, I don’t think you can find a better source of information that explains things as clearly and concisely as the Trading Code.

Sadly I came across this book after starting trading and after making a few mistakes. I wish I gave it a read first and THEN start trading. But this book helped me to understand my mistakes and how to learn from them. It guides you through the whole process of setting a trading account, when to buy, understand when you have an opportunity and when it’s better to wait.

I loved reading it. Everything is so well explained with lots of real examples. The author also tell you his strategies of how to trade successfully.

I recommend it to everyone out there who wants to start trading successfully. By reading this book you can feel confident enough to start trading with your own money.

This could potentially be the best £12.89 you ever spend. Richard Cohen's brilliant book shines a light on the opaque world of the stock markets and day trading in a way which walks the difficult line between giving the wannabe trader practical, granular detail whilst not overwhelming with too much technical information. It is concise, highly readable and designed for practical application. As the author says, it provides one of the four elements needed to trade the markets successfully, so you won't just be able to read it and succeed by osmosis - but it is proving to be an invaluable expert guide on my own first steps into this world. Read it in conjunction with his other excellent book, Trading Psychology, and I believe you will have all you need to set you up to succeed - provided you bring your own focus, discipline and determination. When you buy this book, you can also register for further guidance online, and almost unbelievably, Richard is also available to email questions to, making this book even more incredible value for money. If you are interested in this field, I cannot recommend this book and its sister title highly enough. Ben Mills.

As a newcomer to trading I have gained a lot from The Trading Code, finding it very clear on explaining, strategy and the basics of trading - applicable to day trading or swing trading.


The explanations of technical analysis, breakouts and trade confirmation points have been particularly helpful and Cohen's strategies are easy to follow and sensible.


Straightforward. No hype or bluster. Excellent introduction to trading.

This is an excellent resource, explaining everything you need to know about starting out day-trading in CFDs. Its been an eye opener and has given me the confidence and the tools to go about doing this, without just 'speculating' randomly, potentially with no strategy. Strategy and mindset are central to this book, once you understand the basics, as a lack of these are your greatest enemy.

Its been a steep learning curve, but very enjoyable and Richard does 'sell' very well the idea of doing this seriously as a significant (or sole?) means of generating revenue.

I've already set up a demo account with a broker and begun tracking certain indexes on MetaTrader 5 (the recommended trading platform) and have only in a couple of days become confident setting up real-time purchase and sell orders, setting stop losses and take profit levels using the advised settings. I've also set up pending long and short orders when seeing sideways movement in the market, having a position on an upward or downward trend once that breaks out in either direction. Using the strategies provided I'm already in 'profit' and the average of my wins in significantly larger than the average of my losses.

One more thing, Richard openly offers that people contact him with an email address he publishes. I took him up on this offer showing him an example of a rapid up/down price movement that happened within the space of a few seconds, and he responded (twice!) the same day giving some very helpful advice. That's what I call service!

Richard's Trading Psychology book is next.

I read this cover-to-cover in 6 hours, what's more to say? Well-written, structured and concise, this book helped me scratch an itch about day trading and has given me the inspiration to go out and try something. It doesn't promise any get rich quick schemes, but lays out in simple terms some strategies that keep it simple and will hopefully pay their way.

What I also like about this book is how authentic and personable the author comes across - no hint of entitlement or pretentiousness despite his success, rather someone who has just written a guide to help you make the first steps yourself. You get the feeling he's with you and wants you to have success too. I also followed up with the author and got a prompt and nice reply.

I would strongly recommend taking a look.

Trading Code by Richard Cohen is a practical, no-nonsense guide for traders who want a structured, rule-based approach to the markets. Cohen clearly explains how to build, test, and refine trading systems while emphasizing risk management, discipline, and long-term consistency over quick wins. The book stands out for turning complex trading concepts into actionable strategies, making it a valuable read for anyone serious about developing a systematic and professional trading mindset.

Very interesting book, fantastic insight to how the stock markets work and how not 2 be a successful trader.

I had been thinking about getting into day trading for a long time, but I lacked the knowledge and, most importantly, the right strategy. This book gave me exactly what I needed: a clear, easy-to-understand introduction to trading CFDs combined with practical strategies that I could implement right away.

What impressed me the most was the focus on strategy and mindset. In the past, I probably would have just speculated randomly, but now I understand that a structured approach is the key. I immediately opened an account and started testing the strategies. Within just a few days, I was able to confidently place buy and sell orders, set stop-loss and take-profit levels, and record my first profits – all with a clear system instead of just relying on gut feeling.

Thanks to this book, I have not only gained the necessary knowledge but also the confidence to take the next step. I’m motivated to keep going and further develop my skills. Anyone seriously considering getting into day trading should read this book!
