I have a message from Gaurav whome I met in Chennai and Bangalore. Gaurav has an excellent job. But he is fond of trading.This is what he writes:
"One of my friends brother is an arbitrager for last 10 years.He told me that he can arrange a trading job but first 3 months I have to just monitor may be they will give me 5000 to 7000.And I am OK with that because may be after 6 months I can get a salary of 12-15K which is 50% of my current salary,but still I will be happy with that.And simultaneously I will trade for my own account"
My Notes:
Have you actually seen someone fall off a cliff? Not in movies, but in real life. Well my friend Gaurav may well be planning to do so.
Arbitrage is very different from the kind of trading that thrills traders. Second, trading on your own account simply increases the risks without any reward. The reward comes to experienced, risk understanding traders. Leaving your job to trade is hardly risk understanding.
This topic had come up earlier also. My advice is:
Do NOT leave your job. Learn to enjoy what you are doing. Please do not track the markets during your work hours. Practice trading on end of day charts. Do this in your free time. Once you feel confident in your paper trades, go ahead and take actual trades on an end of day basis. When you start seeing the results of your learning, then plan to be a full time trader.

Sir,
Hi,.. I am studying to be a mechanical engineer. I also invest my savings and read trading books like Mr.Gaurav above. I aspire to follow up my engineering with an MBA in finance and have a career in equities.
I would be obliged if you could advise me on how to get the experience and the risk understanding that you have mentioned above.
Thank You

Sir
I am (may be others also) waiting for your comments on question asked by men on November 30, 2009 i.e. "Mr. Sudarshan, in the cash segment it would have been a good opportunity to start a SIP as one is not bound by any time in case of a wrong decision, but for the FNO how should we carry on please suggest some way. Thanks"
Please say some words.
Thanks

Mr. Sudarshan, how should we act when we are >5160 and <5182, I was prepared to loose my position around these levels and to my luck the market turned back. Also at what levels >5180 should we consider longs if any?
We are getting different views on the market, some say 4200 will come first and others say 5700, how should we as small traders/investors react or is it just a game of chance? Also if you could give your analysis with charts on CNBC it would be really helpful, instead of entry and exit levels. Mr. Sakthi Patra has a very nice way of presenting his analysis on NDTV, his method is way ahead of CNBC.
Thanks,
