How to read this book
by PRASHANT SHAH -
This book is structured in two parts: Momentum Investing and Momentum Trading, as each requires a distinct approach.
The first two chapters are relevant to both types of strategies, providing an understanding of the history and core concepts of momentum.
The chapters are organised sequentially, offering a structured approach towards understanding momentum as a key driving factor behind trading or investment. For this reason, it is recommended to read the book from the beginning.
- If you are focused only on investing strategies, the first part is tailored for you.
- If you are interested in trading strategies, I would still encourage you to read the investing section as well. The concepts covered would act as a strong foundation for understanding momentum trading, especially Chapters 4, 6, 7, and 8, which are particularly important.
The momentum investing section focuses on the thought process and journey of building a robust framework for developing momentum investing strategies. The momentum trading section, on the other hand, explains the framework for developing momentum trading strategies, with various trading styles covered in separate chapters.
By the end of the book, I hope you will be able to achieve the following:
- A deeper understanding of momentum strategies
- Gain the confidence to develop your own approach
- And execute them more effectively.

The book is printed in black and white to keep it cost-effective. However, at the end of the book, a QR code section provides a list of charts along with their image numbers. You can scan these QR codes with your mobile device to view the coloured chart images.
You, Me, and Momentum
At the end of each chapter, there is a short conversation section between ‘You’ and ‘Me.’
‘Me’ represents someone who is just beginning to learn, while ‘You’ represents the experienced version.
“It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.”
