Andrew Aziz is a Canadian and Iranian author, trader, investor and high-altitude mountaineer.[2][3][4] He is known for his books on trading and investing, specially How to Day Trade for a Living.[5] His books are considered classics in day trading and have been published in 15 languages worldwide and have been a best seller since 2016.[6] He is the first Iranian man to climb Vinson Massif in Antarctica,[7] and the first Iranian man to complete the high-altitude mountaineering challenge of the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on seven continents.[8][9]
Life and career
[edit]He was born and raised in Iran, but moved to Canada at age of 25 for PhD studies. He studied at Sharif University of Technology for masters, and graduated from the University of British Columbia with a PhD in chemical engineering. After completing his PhD, he worked as an engineer in Vancouver for Mercedes-Benz Group and Ford Motor Company research center until he lost his engineering position in 2014 and moved away from engineering to learn trading and investing.[10]
In 2015, he published his first book, How to Day Trade for a Living, which received attention from traders and investors, garnering overall positive reviews. Since 2022 Investopedia and Business Insider recognized Aziz's book as one of the best trading books of the year.[11]
He published How to Day Trade for a Living while he was climbing Everest first in 2015, where Nepal 2015 earthquake happened. He had to spend 1 month extra in Khumbu valley near Everest basecamp, where he finished his first edition. All Everest expeditions were cancelled in 2015.[12]
In 2020, he founded Peak Capital Trading, a propriety trading firm in Vancouver, Canada, with focus trading the US stock equity market.[13] Peak Capital Trading is developing algorithms for opening range breakouts with research publications in the field.[14][15]
Climbing
[edit]He is one of Iran's prominent climbers known as the "third wave", a group marked by its more global outreach.[16] This wave represents a significant evolution from the previous Iranian climbers generations, with climbers extending their expeditions beyond the local and regional mountains of Iran, and even past the renowned Himalayas and Karakoram ranges in Nepal and Pakistan. The second wave, which includes after Iranian Revolution climbers like Azim Gheichisaz, was known for pioneering ascents in Nepal and Pakistan. In contrast, the third wave climbers, often holding dual nationality Iranians living outside of Iran face fewer travel and visa restrictions. They are also typically well-funded and sponsored, allowing them to embark on ambitious climbing expeditions across various continents including Europe, South America, Oceania, and Antarctica.[17] A summary of some of Aziz's recent climbs are:[18][9]
