Day trades are not a good way to make money in the market. The transaction costs eat at your profits. Not to mention capital gains tax! I suggest reading the book A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton Malkiel. My finance professor recommended it to me and I must agree it brings some perspective to the craziness.
I think a book from one of the major bookstores might be a better bet as far as small day trades "Day Trading for Dummies" or something similar, but I did take a class in Corporate Finance that was very interesting and one of the assignments was to take $100,000 of imaginary money and invest it for the company. There was a class wide competition. Good luck in your search.
You would need to take courses in Personal Finance, or Investment, most of which require you to have prerequisites in accounting or business first.
You can’t learn how to day trade in college. You have to actually research how people make money in the stock market, develop your own system, and test it.
You may want to take a class on portfolio management or investment valuation.
You would be better off with a 3 days course at the Online Academy.
You would need an entire series of courses (also known as a college DEGREE) to learn the basics of investing.
This is not a way to earn money and learn from experience or a single course or book. You’d go broke long before you learned lesson number one.
