Description

Michael S. Jenkins is one of the most respected geometric and time-cycle analysts in trading, and Basic Day Trading Techniques presents his foundational framework for mastering short-term market movement. In this digital book, Jenkins teaches how intraday trends develop, how price geometry governs movement, and how traders can forecast reversals with remarkable precision using angles, symmetry, and structured analysis.

This work introduces Jenkins’ signature methods: geometric day-trading patterns, intraday time cycles, price-time harmonics, opening range forecasting, and advanced scalping logic. The book includes clear charts, step-by-step examples, and practical illustrations showing how intraday trends evolve from predictable geometric relationships.

Jenkins reveals how professional day traders think — how they anticipate turns before they appear, how they identify acceleration points, and how they use geometry to determine price and time targets. This approach provides traders with a structure far deeper than momentum indicators or random chart patterns.

For traders who want a rule-based, mathematically grounded, and repeatable day-trading method, Jenkins’ work remains one of the most influential ever written.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How professional traders structure intraday price forecasting
  • Jenkins’ geometric principles for intraday market movement
  • The construction of price-time angles and proportional relationships
  • How to identify intraday reversal points before they appear
  • The role of symmetry and harmonics in forecasting day-trading setups
  • How to map opening ranges and early-session structures
  • Timing techniques that anticipate accelerations and pauses
  • How to use Jenkins’ pattern logic for scalping and momentum entries
  • How to build a consistent day-trading routine
  • How intraday cycles influence market behavior

💡 Key Benefits:

  • Gain a structured, geometric method for intraday trading
  • Forecast price movement with precision instead of guesswork
  • Replace indicators with objective, rule-based analysis
  • Improve timing and reduce emotional decisions
  • Learn from one of the most original minds in market geometry

    Jenkins clearly knows his stuff! The book’s section on volume and how to read it for market signals was invaluable. However, some of the topics, like time cycles, could have used more practical examples.

  2. Eve Chung (verified owner)

    As a trader, Jenkins’ no-nonsense approach to technical analysis really resonated with me. The content on time cycles and chart reading was incredibly helpful for predicting price movements. Highly recommend!

  3. Averi McConnell (verified owner)

    Good for traders just starting out, but I found the section on time cycles a bit hard to follow. Some of the concepts weren’t as fleshed out as I’d hoped.

  4. Hayes Howard (verified owner)

    The chapter on ‘Moon Cycles’ may sound unconventional, but it’s truly eye-opening. Jenkins provides evidence and real strategies that worked for me. His use of angles and time cycles has really fine-tuned my trading.

  5. Roland Lester (verified owner)

    This is one of the few books that actually goes deep into technical chart reading without being overwhelming. The ‘Square Roots in Time’ section was something I hadn’t seen before, and it has really improved my timing on entries.

  6. Cali Fields (verified owner)

    Basic Day Trading Techniques simplifies day trading in ways I didn’t think possible. The explanations around support and resistance are practical and easy to apply. I started seeing consistent results after implementing these methods!

  7. Clayton Jackson (verified owner)

    This book will definitely help you understand the basics of day trading, especially with how clearly Jenkins explains support and resistance. While some advanced concepts are mentioned, I would have liked more in-depth examples.

  8. Greyson Hodges (verified owner)

    The book has some great concepts, but I felt like the explanations around angles were a bit too vague. While I did learn a lot, I had to reference other materials to fully grasp some of the techniques.

  9. Avery Hill (verified owner)

    I found the chapter on Basket Program Arbitrage very informative, though I wished it went into a bit more detail. Still, the book provides an excellent overview of day trading strategies and risk management.

  10. Eve Morton (verified owner)

    I’ve always struggled with finding good entry and exit points, but the charts Jenkins uses for teaching have been a game-changer. The ‘Jenkins Time Conversion Bar’ was particularly useful!

  11. Isaac Reese (verified owner)

    The book’s focus on risk management and speculative strategies made me rethink my whole approach. I used to gamble more than speculate, but now I control my risks much more effectively. Thank you, Michael Jenkins!

  12. Ira Hodges (verified owner)

    A solid introduction to day trading for beginners and a nice refresher for experienced traders. Some of the topics like ‘Moon Cycles’ were a bit out of my usual range, but overall the book offers solid, practical trading techniques.

  13. London Ochoa (verified owner)

    The chapter on ‘Stops’ alone is worth the price of the book. Learning how to control risk in every trade has completely changed how I approach the market. A must-read for serious traders.”

  14. Luciana Harper (verified owner)

    This book gave me the confidence to trade daily! Jenkins breaks down trading principles clearly and teaches real, actionable techniques. The section on measured moves was an eye-opener for me!
