The Stock Operator
30 years of trading strategy from Guy Gentile — momentum, short-selling, risk, and the daily desk routine from the founder of DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader. The full playbook, not the highlight reel.
The trading book Guy actually uses.
The Stock Operator is the working playbook behind three decades on the tape. Guy Gentile built DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader so traders like him could execute the way he does. This book is the strategy underneath all of it — momentum reads, short-selling discipline, position sizing, and the daily desk routine.
No motivational filler. No get-rich screenshots. Just the framework a working operator uses every session — the same one he ran through the SAC arbitrage desks, the MintBroker floor, and the trades he's still taking today at thestockoperator.com.
Written for traders who already know how to place a trade and want to know how a 30-year operator thinks about risk, edge, and staying in the game.
What's inside
- 01
Momentum & the tape
How Guy actually reads order flow — Level 2, prints, and the tape signals that trigger real entries, not textbook setups.
- 02
Short-selling discipline
Locates, borrow, timing, and the risk rules that keep a short book alive through squeezes. Written by a trader who's done it at size.
- 03
Risk sizing & stops
The math and the muscle memory behind position sizing, per-trade risk, and when to press versus when to walk.
- 04
The daily desk routine
Pre-market prep, scanners, watchlists, and the review process that turns a trader into an operator over 30 years.
About the book
- Who wrote The Stock Operator?
- Guy Gentile — a 30+ year professional trader and the founder of DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader / MintBroker International. It is his working trading playbook.
- What is The Stock Operator about?
- It is a distillation of 30 years on the tape — momentum trading, short-selling, risk management, and the daily desk routine Guy runs today. Written for serious traders, not beginners looking for hype.
- How is it different from Rogue Alpha?
- Rogue Alpha is the introductory eBook — the setups and short-selling framework at a lower price point. The Stock Operator is the full 30-year playbook: broader, deeper, and priced for a working trader who wants the whole system.
- How is it different from Bro, I'm Going Rogue?
- Bro, I'm Going Rogue is the memoir — Wall Street, the FBI, and the trader they couldn't break. The Stock Operator is the strategy book — the how, not the story.
