MTS: Mechanical Thinking Society

The bridge from retail thinking to institutional thinking.

Purvang Gandhi

Welcome, everyone. Let me walk you through a short journey: the problem in the market, the people who don’t face it, the solution, whether it has worked, a little about me, and how I built my system.

Let’s begin

The line on the right edge tracks your crossing as you scroll.

Let’s start with the problem. The market has three groups of people. Watch each graph, then tap the card beside it to see that group’s problem.

Up nextSo who doesn’t face this problem?

Who stays calm?

First, look at what all that emotion costs.

So who makes the profit? Proprietary traders and foreign investors (FPIs). And almost all of their profit comes from algorithms.

Proprietary traders+₹33,000 cr
Foreign investors (FPIs)+₹28,000 cr
Individuals and others−₹61,000 cr

Why do individuals lose? Algos follow rules. People follow feelings. Watch 100 people try to cross from retail thinking to institutional thinking.

Externals70%Waiting to cross
Intermediaries20%Waiting to cross
Internals10%Waiting to cross

Group sizes are the MTS model. One figure = one person in 100.

Up nextSo how is each problem solved?

Example rules for illustration only. They are not investment advice or recommendations.

Twelve problems, twelve simple rules. Easy to understand, right? But you may be asking: does it really work?

Up nextDoes thinking in rules really work?

MTS = Mechanical Trading Strategy

Does it really work?

Fair question. These traders built fortunes thinking this way. Tap a theme, then tap any face to read their story.

What they have in common

Tap a theme to light up the traders who show it.

    The traders

    Tap a portrait to read the story. Their own words are kept on a separate tab.

    Inside, they share six traits

    Low emotional reactivityCalm, with neither major highs nor lows.
    DetachedThe market does what it does. They don’t try to control it.
    HumbleLittle ego, so taking losses and letting profits run is easy.
    DecisiveThey decide quickly and act without second-guessing.
    ConscientiousDisciplined, consistent and plan-driven. They persevere.
    ConfidentFaith in their system and in their ability to follow it.

    Rules, testing, discipline. Every time. Mechanical thinking works.

    Up nextSo who am I, and why should you listen?

    After seeing all this, I decided to walk the same path. Here is my experience.

    10 yearsas an external
    10 yearsas an intermediary
    10 yearsas an internal
    0hours in the market, across every layer
    The moment it clicked

    When I reached algo trading, I realised my own thinking was mechanical: rule-based. So I started applying it to every segment: external, intermediary and internal.

    My work is a bridge from retail thinking to institutional thinking.

    Up nextHow did my systems grow?

    MTS = My Trading Story

    This is how my systems grew, in ten steps, like breaking a molecule into smaller parts. Tap Next and watch it grow.

      Then I took this mechanical thinking and applied it to everyone: externals, intermediaries, internals, and student education too.
