Have you ever stood at the edge of the stock market, unsure where to begin, wishing you had someone to guide you through the noise? This book feels exactly like that steady, experienced hand. It doesn’t just introduce you to the world of momentum investing and trading, it takes you through it with clarity, structure, and an honest simplicity that’s rare in financial literature.What truly sets this book apart is how it deconstructs the intimidating concept of momentum and rebuilds it as an accessible, step-by-step approach for everyone, from novices to experienced traders. The author strips away the myths and complexities, offering a practical framework supported by real-world, backtested strategies. This isn’t just theory, it’s insight you can act on, and that’s what makes it powerful.Divided into two thoughtful sections-one for long-term momentum investing and another for active trading, the book provides tailored guidance, not just vague advice. It even goes a step further by tackling risk management, position sizing, and execution, crucial areas often ignored in similar books.One of the highlights is the author’s emphasis on discipline and trading psychology, helping readers not only think like a fund manager but act like one. The author’s clear, jargon-free language makes even complex topics easy to absorb.That said, it’s a long and detailed read, the kind that demands your time and sustained interest. But for those willing to engage fully, the rewards are immense. Whether you’re looking to stop guessing and start strategizing, or finally want to make sense of the momentum buzz, this book offers both the mindset and the toolkit you need. An insightful read that’s practical and empowering.

This book provides detailed walk through towards creating momentum investing and momentum trading strategies along with detailed explanation of various technical indicators and patterns. Inclusion of backtest results of each MI strategy enables the reader to approach practical world with confidence. Highly recommended.

1) Graphs/ Charts are printed in light ink and are not at all clear.2) At 1.19 kg for a paperback version, it's a heavy book. Hardcover is even heavier at 1.47 kg.3) 536 pages is a long read for this book and could have been better in two parts published.4) Point & Figure charts used (and Renko charts too I guess are there) instead of candlestick charts.

What an amazing piece of knowledge! A lot of information about Momentum Investing right from it's history to various strategies and indicators that could be used and second part is masterpiece on trading. Book is written such that anyone from beginners to advanced practioners can gain a lot out of it.

Coming from Prashant, I knew it would be good but it has crossed my expectations in the comprehensive detailed work on testing, research & results. It certainly rates amongst my recent favourite reads. This is the biggest book on momentum from India & I just feel it may grow big internationally as well. Well done Prashant.
