MTS Institute / FAQ
Questions and answers
Everything people usually ask before joining the MTS Mentorship Programme.
What is MTS Institute?
MTS Institute, the Mechanical Thinking Society, teaches traders and investors to replace emotional decisions with written, tested rules, and to build their own mechanical trading systems. It was founded by Purvang Gandhi, a systematic trader with 30 years in the markets.
What is the MTS Mentorship Programme?
A live online mentorship of 50 sessions, 2 hours each, 100 hours in total. Over 25 weekends it takes you from market basics to your own tested, sized and deployed mechanical trading system. See the programme.
Do I need any market knowledge to join?
No. The programme starts from market basics in week 1, so students with no market knowledge can join.
When are the classes?
Saturday 7 to 9 pm and Sunday 10 am to 12 noon, Indian Standard Time, for 25 weekends. A weekday format over 10 weeks is also offered.
How are the classes taught?
Live and online, directly by Purvang Gandhi. Each two hour session runs four cycles of 15 minutes of an interactive chapter followed by 15 minutes of hands on practice. Watch a demo class.
Who is the programme for?
Students starting from zero, market externals (investors and speculators), market intermediaries (brokers, advisers, dealers and analysts) and market internals (traders who want a tested system for prop desks or funded accounts).
What will I have at the end?
A system dossier (indicator note, formula sheet, backtest, walk forward test, risk plan and deployment plan), an institutional tear sheet with Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar and Monte Carlo results, your own trading charter, certification and a 90 day roadmap drafted with Purvang.
Which tools will I use?
TradingView, MetaStock, MetaTrader and Claude.
How much does it cost?
Founding seats cost $650 for the first 100 students. Seats 101 to 200 cost $3,500, and from seat 201 the fee is $9,000. See the fees.
When does the first batch start?

How do I register?
Fill in the short form on the register page. Your details go straight to Purvang on WhatsApp at +91 90043 45609, and he will take it from there.
Can I start with self study before the mentorship?
Yes. There are two self study routes. Read the seven M.I.N.T. Framework books on Amazon, or take the Udemy course and build your first mechanical system in TradingView with no coding. A book or a course adds a skill. The live mentorship is where that skill becomes a transformation.
Is there training for companies and teams?
Yes. Corporate training runs in batches of 10 through iamb.club.
Does the programme continue after graduation?
Yes. Every graduate joins the society for life, with continuous updates: new MQL Expert Advisors, new books, new Udemy courses and regular issues of The Regime Report.
Is this investment advice?
No. MTS is education only. Nothing taught or shown is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Trading involves risk, including the loss of capital.
