#CASHTAGS: How Anyone Can Get Started in the Stock Market and Level Up as a Power Trader

Rate this book
Statistics tell us that most investors lose money trading the stock market, due to lack of adequate knowledge, confidence, and the right strategy. While some do manage to be successful occasionally, they still face the challenge of doing so consistently. Too many traders get caught up in complex trading methods taught by various authors and trainers, much of which is mumbo-jumbo not easily understood by common investors. Frankly, there is too much information out there, from too many sources, and laymen will find it hard to glean the right advice from the right place at the right time. Above all comes the skill to control one's emotions in the face of volatility, which makes it all the more difficult to stick to one's trading plan.

In #CASHTAGS, a simple yet informative book, you will find simple solutions to these problems. It begins by breaking all myths about the stock market, addressing harmful beliefs about trading that may have been formed over the years, as well as providing the solutions to deal with them. Explanations are offered as to how to adopt stock trading as a business/profession, and you will find a helpful, step-by-step framework so you can begin trading smartly.
Learn how fundamental and technical analysis work and why the latter is better suited to a layman than the former.

With a focus on simplicity, the authors explain how to get started with technical analysis by illustrating simple technical methods anyone can easily understand and apply. Most importantly, the book deals with handling emotions in the trading industry and lists simple, objective rules for buying and selling. There is also an emphasis on maintaining proper risk management in trading, as well as a simple risk management formula that will make all the difference in your trading performance. Most valuable, you will discover insights in the form of interviews from
people who have been successful in trading and investing all over the globe.

It's a good book if you're an absolute beginner. If you have some prior experience then probably not the best out there. Word of caution - there are a lot of sales pitches and testimonials throughout the book so be careful.

It made me feel as if the point of this book was to be a lead magnet and then upsell you the courses and programs offered.

But don't let that deter you because there really is some good valuable info in the book.

Yes this book is definitely not for the individuals who are in market from atleast 2 years or so. I have been in the market and trading from last one year.
My only reason of giving five star to this book because its really good book for the beginners. This book has a phrase "Focus on the process, not on the profit" and I start believing in this phrase. Vishal sir has been in the market for long more than 15 years or so. Whatever you will find in this book, he has already shared those strategies on his YouTube channel. I have learned RSI and Trend line just by looking at his video and its really worked. In the last I would say, if you are planning to understand the market you can definitely start with this book. This will gives you confidence about the technical analysis of the chart.

Cashtags is one of the finest book which will change your mindset looking at the stock markets. I got an opportunity to attend Vishal Sir's 3 day seminar 'Anybody can Trade' which was also miraculous. Apart from the the trading techniques this book emphasises on changing your mind set and empowers you to do proper risk management. The techniques taught by Vishal Sir are very simple and easy to apply but you need to be consistent doing it. I would certainly recommend this wonderful book for all stock market lovers. Thanks Vishal Sir and Meghana madam for this wonderful gift to all of us.

It's for absolute beginners. If you are starting your career in trading then you can start with this book. The book focuses more on the mindset of a trader rather than teaching techniques.

In my quest to look for an alternate career or call it an additional way of making some money, more excitingly than I currently do it, I started looking at Trading with a new perspective. Hence, this became the third book that I have read on the subject. This turns out to be a lukewarm affair as the entire book turns out to be a marketing gimmick by the couple Authors to sell their Stock Training Program which they run throughout the country. There is no way to read just the book and not attend their training course, which comes at a price and is about a year long. So you get the drift. this is one way of making money for them, whether you make it or not, they will for sure by teaching you how to do it right. But not everything is negative about this book, as it taught me how to read View, Observe and analyse the Trade Charts and predict which one will go down or up in the coming days. Plus it does affirm the reader’s psyche when investing money in the Stock Market. I liked the way they talk about how we are programmed by our surroundings, culture, parents, siblings, friends and colleagues whenever it comes to taking up a new thing as a change and how hard it is to break it and do what you want to do, come what may be the risk. So I am going to try a few of their ways in the coming days but I am damn sure that Warren Buffet’s biography was a better read and teacher, I am not comparing it with that though, just saying.

Let me know if you have read a better book on Stock Trading or Investments as I am looking for more reading to kick-start my trading career. I would love to read some that talk about real-time stock investments.
