In 2017, a curious and hopeful young Anish Singh Thakur made his first foray into the volatile yet exhilarating world of cryptocurrency. Like many during the Bitcoin surge, he joined the frenzy—not to build a business, but simply to ride the wave. Selling profits to a friend, he split a one-time gain of ₹10 lakh—a substantial sum for a young individual in India. But as quickly as the money came, it disappeared in a brutal market downturn that delivered a harsh lesson in volatility.
Shaken but undeterred, Anish turned to the stock markets. Once again, he lent his capital to others, only to see the temporary uptick followed by steep losses—a repeating cycle that led to hard lessons. “I decided I had to learn to trade myself,” he says.
This decision sparked a self-driven journey. He studied relentlessly—devouring YouTube tutorials, attending seminars like Mumbai’s Finbridge, and poring over trading books. What he found, however, was disillusionment: cookie-cutter courses woven together with slick marketing.
When the COVID-19 lockdown hit in 2020, Anish’s frustration became opportunity. He launched Booming Bulls Academy, a YouTube channel aimed at teaching real trading through his own voice—honest, no-nonsense, and in Hindi. Immediately, he stood out with live trades—anomalous in India’s trading landscape at the time—and straightforward, clutter-free teaching. His growth was meteoric: from zero to 100,000 subscribers in just two months, and now exceeding 2.6 million on YouTube.
A Teaching Philosophy Rooted in Transparency
What unequivocally differentiates Anish is his dedication to transparency—revealing both wins and losses, sharing indicator-based setups coupled with live accounts, and resisting flashy marketing tactics. In the words of a Reddit user:
“If you’ll watch Anish Singh YouTube videos with patience you’ll understand … he provides value not tips … There are rarely any call to action links … I never felt anything spammy on his channel.”
This raw authenticity has struck a chord with thousands of aspiring traders.
Evolving Toward a System‑Driven Approach
As Booming Bulls grew, Anish Singh Thakur focus shifted from education to capital management. He transitioned from impulsive, gut-driven trades to disciplined, system-based trading. Today, every trade he executes must satisfy three rigid criteria—and if they don’t, he sits on his hands.
This approach is not theoretical. Through backtesting and risk control, he maintains a strict profit-to-loss ratio: wins often outperform losses by 2–3×. As Anish explains, “In 1,000 trades, we might win 500… but our wins are larger.
From Classrooms to Trading Floors
With educational physical centres now closing, Anish’s vision has sharpened. He’s building a Dubai-based trading floor for a team of 40–50 traders tasked with managing public and personal capital. His plan starts with deploying $1–2 million in 2025, scaling to $5–10 million—and eyeing $100 million—while incorporating algorithmic and AI-driven strategies to eliminate emotional bias.
The Mentor’s Final Word
While drawing criticism—some calling his indicator systems flawed—Anish remains steadfast:
“Trading is not a get‑rich‑quick scheme… you will lose money in the beginning. That’s your training.”
He urges aspiring traders to treat learning as seriously as a multi-year degree:
“People spend years on a degree… but expect to master trading in a month.”
His early losses, he insists, were the tuition that forged his resilience and shaped his strategy.
A Legacy of Realism and Discipline
What began as a chance entry into crypto turned into a disciplined mission: to build transparency, insight, and integrity in trading education and capital management. Anish Singh Thakur’s journey—from lost profits to institutional frameworks—mirrors the path of many traders: from uncertainty to clarity, from emotion to systems, and from hype to authenticity.
Today, Booming Bulls stands as more than a brand—it’s a mindset: real trades, real results, real talk. And for a market weary of spectacle, his method may be the most powerful signal yet.
