In the realm where finance meets adventure, Andrew Aziz has carved an indelible mark as a luminary author, trader, and adventurer. Known for his groundbreaking work "How to Day Trade for a Living," recently published in India and Nepal by Penguin Random House, Aziz's influence has traversed continents, selling over 500,000 copies worldwide in 14 languages. This masterpiece is heralded as a classic in day trading, earning recognition as one of the best day trading books of all time for newcomers to the trading world.
Aziz's prowess extends beyond the written word. As a published scholar, he has delved into the intricate world of developing algorithms and strategies for active trading that consistently outperform the benchmark of the US stock market. Notably, his research, including the collaborative paper "Can Day Trading be Really Profitable" with Carlo Zarattini, underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of trading knowledge.
Venturing beyond the realms of finance, Aziz undertook a remarkable ascent on May 19, 2023, summiting Mount Everest. “This feat not only marked a personal triumph but also triggered a profound transformation within him. The lessons learned from summiting Everest reshaped his perspective, drawing parallels between scaling daunting peaks and navigating the intricacies of the trading world,” Aziz opined.
Interestingly, Aziz's journey from Everest's base camp to the summits of trading success began in Nepal back in 2015. During a four-month stay, Aziz said he immersed himself in meditation, reading, and writing, crafting the first edition of his best-selling book “How to Day Trade for a Living”. Nepal's unique blend of culture and meditative tranquillity infused my work with a distinctive clarity, making complex trading concepts comprehensible to a diverse readership, he added.
The seismic events that shook Nepal served as a pivotal turning point. Witnessing the resilience of the Nepalese people amid the devastation, Aziz found renewed determination. “It was amidst this backdrop that he wrote his book, channelling his dedication by attributing its success to Nepal's culture, landscapes, and spiritual essence.”
In an exclusive interview with the NepalNews, Aziz expressed his profound gratitude to Nepal, acknowledging the pivotal role it played in shaping his journey. He attributed a significant part of his accomplishments to the time spent writing his book in Kathmandu and the Khumbu Valley, a testament to the transformative power of Nepal's milieu.
Aziz's impact transcends borders, as he travels the world, engaging with readers through book signings and presentations. His dedication to sharing his insights and fostering a vibrant trading community is palpable, reinforcing his commitment to cultivating knowledge and success among traders.
The accolades for Aziz's book are not confined to readers alone. Esteemed financial media outlets such as Business Insider and Investopedia have hailed it as one of the best trading books of 2022 and 2023. The book's continued bestseller status since 2016 stands as a testament to its enduring relevance and resonance among traders of all levels.
