At that time i was 47 yrs old having an academic back ground of Graduating with
Statistics as major from Guwahati University (eventually was amongst first five
in that year)with a MBA from Xaviers Ranchi in 1975,also had a career of 10 yrs
in Pharma Industry,rose from ranks to Head the National Desk from Mumbai.Also a
Business carrer of 10 yrs,an ISO 9000 Manufacturing unit producing B&W TV for
'ONIDA'brand under the FGP (Finished Good Purchase) outsourcing Plan.There i was
exposed to computers,(in pharma we only had Telex ,not even Fax),every day all
Inventories on road /at stores(there also 2 sub stores 1 for tested & shifted
to Bin the other to be tested)/on Belt(2 type 1 already installed other at on
line Bins etc.Each detail Model wise Planning was to be communicated to Onida HO.
Mr Gullu Mirchandrani was very meticulous on Planning & my computer teacher was
my Son.
A family of wife,mother,1son & 1 daughter,who where at colleges,every month had
to foot all the expenses from the bank balance (left after selling my share of
the Manufacturing Unit to my then partner) which was depleting every month.
This back drop may seem to highlight myself but is neccassary to understand the
mental & financial agony i was going through.In lay man's term at 47 i did ARRIVE
in Life,no way i was a Looser,my corporate cridit card was in 1978 (we only had
2 companies then Diners & Visa was catching up in Mumbai).
There at that time i was struggling at Cyber cafes my companion to way side Tea
stall was a Book-Distributor's Manager & my Trader friends at Chadni Chowk where
mostly like me from middle class back ground.
There i found 1 Molybabu,who used to trade mostly in Polaris some times in Hero
Honda.That guy was making Money at the end of the week.I keenly observed him
i was trading mostly in Infy (those days the Range was minimum Rs100 ) SBI / RIL
& Satyam.As i was sitting on the right side of the monitor hence on my request the
LTP coloum was at right extreme end ( Last Traded Price).I started observing the
LTP for say 10 price fluctuations & write down the 11th one in a note book like
this after few days it became cumbersome & tedious,so i shifted to writing down the
LTP at end of each 2 min,i found that the next one is never same either up or down
but if i take a block of 5 such then in down/up slide it less frequently came to
test it's 1st entry in the 1st block.Bingo!! i could get some pattern.Then i started
observing the 'Average Price' col. & found that after 2 Hrs if Price is below Avg by
say Rs2.00 in SBI (in those days) & my note book says that this Block is below then the earlier one then
Shorting with Rs 2.00 + Rs 2.00 (wiggling space) Stop i can earn few hundred Rs.
So my 2nd Lesson was TREND is a Friend.
N.B. Moloybabu still mantains his family by Daytrading & now he stays at Dankuni,his
son has become an Engineer,he cant speak or write english fluently never went beyound
School,i deeply respect him from my Heart,few people close to me at Kolkata
(from Traderji) knows how emotionaly i am attached with these non-descript guys ,they
have never gone through any Book they try to understand Mkt by common sense only.
Moloybabu had to sell out his house but now he has built a nice abode at Dankuni.
