What Makes our Training Program Different?

synapse program

You might be wondering:

“There are so many trading courses, trainers, and platforms out there, how do I know which one is legit?”

It’s a fair question. And with so much hype in the industry, it’s important to make informed choices. So here’s how to assess any training program, and why ours stands apart.

Does the Trainer Have Real Trading Credentials?

  • I hold double degrees in Accounting and Business Finance from a top-ranked global university (Top 50 worldwide). Always ask: Is the trainer open about where their degree is from? If not, big red flag.
  • I am a Certified Financial Technician (CFTe), a globally recognized qualification from the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA). Be cautious of “certificates” from unverified competitions or paid awards.
  • I’ve traded professionally for both proprietary and private equity funds, and I’ve shared my trades and market analysis publicly for over a decade.
  • My system has been developed and refined over 15 years, and has helped me build a multi-million dollar portfolio.

Does the Trainer Have Real Teaching Experience?

  • I’ve been invited to train and speak at banks, financial institutions, universities, brokerages, and even the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) and Bain & Co.
  • I have conducted training for SGX Academy, Skillsfuture, ShareInvestor, training more than 700 participants.
  • I’ve shared the stage with global speakers at major conferences and seminars, speaking to thousands of attendees both in Singapore and internationally.
  • I’ve been featured in over 20 media outlets, and have received 3,000+ real testimonials from students who’ve gone through my programs.

Has the Program Stood the Test of Time?

  • Watch out for programs or gurus that appear for a few years and vanish, only to rebrand under a new name.
  • Many make unrealistic promises like “25% returns a month with no effort.” That’s a clear red flag. Even top traders rarely exceed 5-10% a month consistently.
  • My trading system has been running successfully through bull markets, bear markets, and even market crashes, and it works across different products and timeframes.

Are the Testimonials From Real People?

  • While I do have a large social media following, I don’t rely on vanity metrics. Follower counts can be faked, but results cannot.
  • All testimonials, trade records, and student feedback are available on our website, including photos, videos, and video testimonials from other respected trainers and traders.
  • Be wary of anonymous screenshots with no faces or names, we prefer transparency and real human stories.

 

Who Is This Training Meant For?

🚫 This is NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking to get rich quick. Trading can make you wealthy, but it takes time, effort, and consistency. Compounding takes time, but the results can be exponential.
  • You’re chasing a “magic bullet.” There’s no holy grail or one-click strategy. True success requires learning and application, there are no shortcuts.
  • You’re closed-minded. Our training may challenge what you’ve read in books or heard from others. If you’re not open to new ideas, this may not be for you.

✅ This IS for you if:

  • You’re passionate about learning. Whether you’re a total beginner, a frustrated intermediate trader, or a professional looking to upgrade your edge, we’ve trained people from all levels to achieve their goals.
  • You want to improve your financial situation. Whether you’re building a side income or looking to compound existing wealth, this training gives you real, actionable skills to take control of your financial future.
  • You’re willing to learn and contribute. Our community thrives on shared learning. You’ll get support, but you’re also encouraged to help others grow, because when you teach, you learn twice.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A Lifelong Skillset
    Master trading and investing concepts that most people never learn. Whether for personal wealth or professional growth, this knowledge will serve you for life.
  • A Shift in Financial Mindset
    Generate consistent monthly profits, build a long-term investment portfolio, and use your gains to create a meaningful life, not just flashy wins.
  • Financial Security & Freedom
    Build a safety net so you’re no longer shackled by financial worries. Imagine the freedom to quit your job, start a business, travel, or simply spend more time with the people who matter.

This program isn’t for everyone. But if you’re looking for real skills, real results, and a real community, you might just find this to be one of the best decisions you’ll make for your financial future.

5 Unconventional Ways You Can Make Money From Bitcoin (And Other Cryptocurrencies)

bitcoin

bitcoin

Firstly, what is Bitcoin and how does it work?

In simple terms, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, which is essentially a currency that is not owned by any particular group or person. It allows fast and cheap transactions, and the more people start to use it, the more its value increases. In fact, if you had bought $5 worth of Bitcoins 7 years ago, it would now be worth $4-5M.

And bitcoin could still be in its infancy, since its number of transactions are only a fraction of what the banks and other financial institutions are currently doing. Which means there is a huge potential for more upside. So, how can we get a share of the pie?

1. Investing in Bitcoins

This is the most common way for retail investors to get in on the action, by simply opening an account and purchasing the coins. Some of the common platforms are Coinbase and Coinhako, and it is not hard to open an account and take a nibble. The challenge here is making sure you do not end up buying at the high, so take advantage of price dips (usually happens when there is some negative news about cryptocurrencies) to accumulate more coins.

2. Trading Bitcoin Derivatives

If you are more interested in profiting from the short-term movements in Bitcoin, then you can use derivative instruments that track the price of Bitcoin, for example products like CFDs (contract for differences). The price of the derivative will track the price of Bitcoin, moving up and down in sync with the actual price of Bitcoin, so by buying or selling the derivative, you can profit from the price moves in Bitcoin without actually buying or owning Bitcoin. To do this well, you will need to know how to read charts and price action.

3. Lending out Bitcoins

Lending is perhaps the oldest way to use money to make money. Basically, you loan out money to a relevant party and they pay you back, with interest. Interest rates will vary with the risk involved. If you get collateral in exchange for your loan, interest rates will be low. No collateral means higher risks, but it also means higher interest rates. So if you have already purchased some Bitcoins, you can loan them out for some extra interest instead of just keeping them in your account.

4. Bitcoin Mining

Bitcoins are created through solving complex algorithms that create blocks that are added to the public ledger. The public ledger is the history of all transactions conducted through bitcoin. Basically, miners build the public ledger and allow the whole bitcoin system to function. As they create new blocks, miners are rewarded with new Bitcoins. This encourages more miners to get in on the action, which allows the Bitcoin community to grow. In the past, people could use their home computers to mine Bitcoins, but over time mining has become more difficult as the algorithms have become more complex. Now, you’ll either have to buy a specially built mining rig, or join up with a Bitcoin mining pool that harnesses the power of multiple computers.

5. Bitcoin Arbitrage

This is perhaps the least common way of making money from Bitcoins due to its difficulty level. If you have started dabbling in Bitcoins, you might have noticed that the prices of Bitcoins can vary a lot across different exchanges. For example, if the Bitcoins in Singapore are cheaper than the ones in China, you could buy some Bitcoins here, transfer them to China, and cash them out over there. The challenge however would be bringing your money back to Singapore, and also you would need a bank account in China. But some people have managed to come up with creative solutions around theses problems.

Picking the Bottom for Bitcoin & Ethereum – When to Buy?

2017 08 25 17.17.38

Recently, Bitcoin prices have crossed $4,800, and year-to-date, its price has surged nearly 400%, making it one of the best investments for the year. And it is not alone.

Other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, have also been making new highs, and many more new products are hitting the market every day.

Which is why many of my friends, followers, and students have been asking me a lot about theses products, and most importantly, “when is a good time to buy?”

A post shared by Spencer Li ?? Synapse Trading (@iamrecneps) on

When I first started trading, I was mainly doing stocks and CFDs, and I developed my “15 minutes a day” price action strategies for these. And as I expanded to new markets, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the same strategies worked perfectly well. To date, I have used them successfully on forex, futures, options, and most recently, on cryptocurrencies.

This means that for a new product like Bitcoin, which behaves very similarly to IPO stocks or some less popular penny stocks, its behavior can be best understood by studying its underlying price behaviour.

Many people who take one look at its prior meteoric rise will immediately come to the conclusion that is it near its high and too late to buy. But many people probably thought the same way about Apple and Tesla’s stock a few years back.

Hands-on analysis and study of Bitcoin chart for precise timing (at my new cafe)

 

This means that there is potential for cryptocurrencies to go much higher, but how do we time our entry into something that is moving so fast?

Turns out we do have the perfect strategy for that, which is similar to the strategy we use to enter fast-moving counters in times of a strong trend. In fact, I pointed this out using the chart of Bitcoin during my last few workshops, and also at Invest Fair.

How far can this trend continue to run?

To be honest, no one can really tell, but all I know is that whenever there is a good buying opportunity, I will continue to add more positions to ride this strong trend until it ends. And when it does, I will get ready to short it down as well. 😀

But that is a story for another post.

Till then, trade safe, and aim big. Cheers!
