Goela school of finance is one of the best institute accordingly to me to learn finance and do finance management. Very simple and transparent way of learning with each minute detailing for those who even don’t know preliminary knowledge of finance terminology also. I would suggest everyone to grab this course once in lifetime. Thanks for sharing such a useful learning about finance management. 🙏🏻

Value and Support Focused

"The Goela School of Finance has created a brilliant ecosystem with ISMA 3.0. The course structure is logical, and the teaching style of Aditya and Harsh makes even the most difficult market scenarios easy to grasp. Coupled with their prompt customer support, it feels like a complete mentorship rather than just a course. It is easily the most affordable yet high-quality stock market programme available today."

Good in content and research of data

They provide good financial knowledge and content but it is not helpful for getting good returns .
Which is not possible by any course for working professional.

Even as per content shared or provided pricing is too high these sheet software is not easy to use

Isma 3.0 is very great coarse.

Isma 3.0 is very great coarse and it is the first step towards my journey to achieve financial freedom. I have been the part of isma 2.0 program also but isma 3.0 is the massive update from that and specially the integration of AI is mind blowing. All the concepts are understandable, useful, relevant and to the point.
Big thanks to GSF

3Cs the GSF brings to the investment decisions

GSF equips you to be not just a smart investor but also a strategic thinker - the concepts if understood well, makes you understand economics like never thought on school, makes you understand money and businesses. With this every decision you make while in the stock markets, feels well thought through. They bring the 3C's - Clarity, Competitiveness and Conviction on trading and investing journey.

Honestly a Game-Changer for My Investing.

To be honest, before I found the Goela School of Finance, my investing style was all over the place. It felt more like gambling than a real strategy. This program was the turning point I desperately needed. It just clicked. Everything became clearer, and for the first time, I felt confident enough to actually understand what I was doing with my money.

The best part is how much more in control I feel. They take these huge, complex topics like technical analysis and portfolio management and break them down until they actually make sense. You can tell the mentors genuinely care, and their dedication helped me build a disciplined, structured approach that I now use every day. It's a night-and-day difference—I went from being totally intimidated by the market to feeling like I'm the one steering the ship. The community is super supportive too, which has been great for staying motivated. Seriously, I can't recommend this enough. It's been a transformative experience.

You have better Alternative. ❌

After 1.5 Years Experience.

Disclaimer: not a hate message but an honest review because i genuinely think 90% of their user cannot do investing.

I have purchased both ISM 2.0 and 3.0 both of them mostly focused on educating you about Fundamentals. which is easily available and believe me you don't want to read balansheet for all thr stock.

It's exciting to learn but you can't execute, then it is easy to blame yourself maybe you are not taking action.

GSS Sheet, it is good but you have to do all the Efforts. Get 'Money Control' Subscription, You will get history of stocks.

GIPT, Goela institutional portfolio tracker: "trendlyne", "Moneycontrol" are much better, well structured and they themselves get data from these site.

Fundamentals investing sound for HNI, for small investor please explore swing trading:

Mark Minervini's books are best. All the top profitable traders in india are following his methods... if you find it challenging to execute find manas arora in twitter. he keeps his book open and give you enough examples.

for Stock Selection don't go with their filter, go with "Chartmaze" or "Chartink" You can get your own filter and market breadth and high Relative strength stocks so that you work on the stock that are in momentum.

Here you will never have conviction that you are not missing out on anything.

their whole focus is to beat Nifty50 which is 15-20%. This is good but not if you start with less than 50Lakh.

Manas Arora, Finally Nitin, Himanshu Sharma, Chiragg, Hiren Gabani, Find these guys on Twitter and follow their startegy, because they talk real trading and they keep the books open on the twitter page and they talk both about up and down sides of the game. no sugar candy, the real truth. this is bitter to digest but eventually make you a profitable trader.

If you are brainwashed to hate traders please know all the rules of trading is based on price that is moved by the big institution. technically you jump into the boat when it just start sailing.

if you are lazy then...

Definitedge Prashant Saha is doing great work with momentify. investing with most moving stocks and as they lose momentum the are out and again into the stocks that are in the momentum.

Here are some software that you must check out...

Screening:

1. Chartink
2. Chartmaze
3. Screener: you must be using

Fundamentals and Technical:
1. ValueStocks :( some fund manager made it)
2. Definitedge: has its own universe
Scanning to trading, lesson everything in it. Noiseless chart, momentum trading investing.
3.Stockedge
4.trendlyne

charting:
1. Tradingview: mostly used chart analysis
2. Tick2 trade: better Alternative tool
3. Any broker that you use.

One thing i regret the most is: They made me believe that making money with trading is impossible until i started seeing how my portfolio started moving dramatically.

i don't have problem with them, if you are ready to give 20 years with 15%, good for you. But honestly 30-40% in this growing indian market one can definitely get. and that is an conservative figure.

That is why i am saying... You have a better Alternative.
All the best. Happy investing.

And to Harsh and Aditya:
Sir,

With due respect, if all the stocks in the NSE are same for all, please dont make us fill the sheet individually, it is hectic, time consuming and frustrating. atleast fill it by yourself and give, atleast this much service people deserve.

*But how will you learn?: people are paying money to make their life easy, this all just making it more complicated.

At this moment i genuinely feel i randomly pick a stock from tradingview heatmap that looks green gives me 110% effort vs results.

Edit 1:

this is the brainwash i was talking about.

Indeed, Warren Buffett, growth rate is 20% CAGR,

why don't you give name of these people also, they were consistent.

Peter Lynch: ~29% (1977–1990)
Jesse Livermore Estimaded 30–35% Early 1900s legend
Mark Minervini (U.S.) ~33% CAGR (1983–2009)
Dan Zangler: (1998- 2003) 35–40% CAGR.

And i am not denying the 30% CAGR fact that but you are misunderstanding that they have a big account size and not enough liquidity in the market, you expecting them to grow more than 25% is stupid.

Still, you give example of Warren Buffett 20%, because you want people to believe more than this is not possible and get settled with less than MF return( 0% effort ).

----
About even bull market not giving 30%:

I know you have spent a lot of time in the market, but please watch Hiren Gabani, Himanshu Sharma interviews if you are not full of arrogance.

______________
here if you want to test.
- Scan Quarterly earnings gap up stocks
- Catch them at the long base break out.
- For now backtest by yourself.
- Required real Discipline

Happy investing.

Reply from Goela School of Finance

Dear Swapneswar,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly respect your perspective — even when it differs from ours — because honest discussions like this are what make the investing community stronger.

You mentioned that we “brainwash” people into long-term investing. In all fairness, if believing in long-term wealth creation is brainwashing, then perhaps the same can be said for Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Peter Lynch, Howard Marks, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, and so many others who’ve built their fortunes through patience and compounding. Even SEBI’s own research repeatedly warns retail investors against frequent trading and speculative activity.

Our entire philosophy at the Goela School of Finance is simple: wealth is created not by speed, but by sustainability. Markets may offer bursts of excitement through trading, but compounding quietly outperforms most other approaches over time. A steady 15–20 % annual return may appear modest, but it is powerful when sustained for decades — and with India’s growth trajectory, we believe disciplined investors will often do even better. A 30–40% return isn’t sustainable. You might achieve it for a few years, but not consistently - and doing so usually means taking excessive risk, which simply isn’t worth it.

That said, we completely understand your enthusiasm for momentum and swing trading. Many retail investors enjoy the process and short-term excitement, and there are brilliant traders doing great work in that space. Our goal was never to dismiss trading, but to protect those who might take excessive risk without realizing its long-term impact.

Regarding your point about tools and resources — you’re absolutely right that much information is freely available on the internet. But by that logic, one wouldn’t need to pursue an MBA, attend a university, or even hire a personal trainer for fitness — everything is technically online today. Yet the reason people still choose guided learning is structure, time-saving, and a clear solution with accountability.

Our program doesn’t claim to offer the “cheapest” or “rarest” information. What we do offer is a distilled, time-tested framework that simplifies 15 years of our personal market experience into actionable steps for busy professionals who may not have the time or confidence to build their own systems from scratch. Think of us as that personal coach who helps you stay consistent — not just informed.

About your concern on the GSS Sheet: a pre-filled version called GSS Elite was shared with the community during the live session. If you didn’t receive it, please email support@goelasf.in, and our team will send it immediately. We can even schedule a short walkthrough to make sure you’re comfortable using it efficiently.

We may continue to respectfully disagree on a few things, Swapneswar — and that’s perfectly fine. The markets have room for every philosophy. In the long run, results speak louder than opinions, and we genuinely wish you tremendous success with your own strategy.

Our team has been trying many times to contact you by email and phone, and hasn't received a response. Please remember: you can reach out to us — our team is here to help you out.

Warm regards,
Team Goela School of Finance

Verified From ISMA 2.0 to ISMA 3.0 – A Game-Changer with Smart & Practical Enhancements

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Verified
From ISMA 2.0 to ISMA 3.0 – A Game-Changer with Smart & Practical Enhancements

I was a part of ISMA 2.0 earlier, and while it offered strong foundational knowledge, I always felt there was a gap when it came to practical application. After upgrading to ISMA 3.0, I can confidently say this version bridges that gap beautifully. It’s far more hands-on, interactive, and focused on real-world investing execution.

The integration of AI-based guidance is a true standout — the smart prompts and suggestions make research and decision-making smoother and much faster. It’s like having an intelligent assistant that helps you stay on track and make sense of complex data.

The GSS Elite Pro Sheet deserves special credit — it simplifies stock analysis with clear, data-driven insights, helping you evaluate companies across multiple parameters in minutes.

I also loved the inclusion of GoelaAI, which feels more intuitive and context-aware this time. Its accurate responses and market-related insights genuinely enhance the learning and analysis experience.

The additional courses bundled with ISMA 3.0 — from Portfolio Building Strategies to IPO Analysis and Risk Management — add tremendous value. Each one deepens your understanding and gives you new perspectives on investing.

A particular highlight for me was the Insurance & Wealth Protection Guide — an often-overlooked topic that’s been explained in such a clear and practical manner.

Overall, ISMA 3.0 is not just an upgrade — it’s a complete transformation. It combines theory, application, and AI-powered tools to make learning stock market investing truly actionable.
Highly recommended to anyone serious about mastering the markets!

I'm currently enrolled in the ISMA 3.0…

I'm currently enrolled in the ISMA 3.0 program but my journey with GSF started when I signed up for ISMA 2.0 during COVID. I had already read Beating the Street by Peter Lynch, and was interested in investing but wasn't able to translate the ideas based in the American markets to my context. This is what GSF helped me bridge.

When ISMA 3.0 was launched I was hesitant to join as I was unsure what more value it could provide over ISMA 2.0 which I had completed. But they have really improved the systems, and leveraged AI to aid in research. They have also broken down the topics further to ease understanding. For example in Fundamental Analysis part they have expanded on what factors to consider when deciding whether to add or remove stocks from one's portfolio. This provides a robust foundation on which I can start my investment journey. It also allows me to stay invested even when the price of the stock goes down. For me I feel the present systems really simplify implementation. Though after ISMA 2.0 I implemented some strategies, I wasn't confident enough to buy stocks. ISMA 3.0 broke down the existing system further and added more explanations which has helped me a lot, and I feel more confident trying to buy stocks
