The theme for this inaugural TEDx event is defying logic, showcasing how ordinary people manage to defy logic by taking the path less travelled, and achieving success despite all odds. It was awesome to receive an invitation for this event, and certainly a great privilege to meet other like-minded individuals!

After taking most of my profits and waiting for the markets to settle down, it is time to chill and PARTY! At one of Asia’s top clubs.

I got invited by Reebok for this new launch event, together with other media and some of their corporate clients. Since I was free that night, I decided to check it out, plus there was free flow of drinks :]

It was an awesome night, and a great way to end the week! Remember, even as we strive for financial success, we should always keep in mind to enjoy life, because there are many things money can’t buy. Party on! xD

Once again, a big thanks to the sponsors, RSH and Reebok, for inviting me to this great event. Cheers!

 

A big thanks to all our new graduates who made it such a great learning and sharing session, as well as those previous graduates who came back for the free re-sit and helped out the new traders. After looking at the big move today, I must say all of you are very lucky, because you all mastered the skills just in time to capture this big move!

Of course, this is just the start, as now that you have learn the secrets of behavioral analysis and the trading skills, it is time to put it into practice! There are a lot more great opportunities coming up, because we have the daily forum discussion, and free monthly workshops for graduates to continue learning until they become consistently profitable.

I have read through all your feedback (both the good and bad), and shared it over here. I take this feedback very seriously, and will be working to improve the next intake by adding in more content and more examples (we will definitely see more live examples during the workshops). Of course, with this new improvements, we will be revising our course fees slightly (don’t worry it is still one of the most affordable professional courses out there).

Today, I was surprised to receive a whatsapp message from one of my students, with a picture of his Gold trade while on holiday. While I won’t usually advocate trading while on holiday, I was glad he followed my call to short which I posted in the Synapse private forum.

Normally, on a holiday you want to chill, and not think about your trades, so there are 2 key things to note for hands-free trading:

  1. Risk management
    Once you place your SL and TP, you do not have to watch anymore, just wait for the trade to play out like this.
  2. Position-sizing
    Trading a smaller position will allow you to “care less”, so that you will not worry at all. And as you can see, even a small position like this (0.1 lot of Gold) can yield large profits if you have the patience and the right timing.

This is a perfect example of hands-free trading, without the constant stress of  punting and gambling. This kind of trade accuracy and timing is only made possible by our application of market behavioral analysis – a new breakthrough in charting and price action where no indcators or special software is required.

Overall, this was a very good and clean trade, and it should be sufficient to cover the cost of his plane ticket. Great job, and don’t forget to bring me back a nice souvenir! :p

What an exciting Friday night this was! (I’m not refering to the NFP in case you’re wondering; I took most profits and trailed my stops as per normal before any major news.) After a sumptuous pre-party dinner to celebrate a friend’s birthday, we headed down to Zouk for the August Man 7th Anniversary closed-door party. It was buzzing with excitement, and all the big names were there.

After saying our goodbyes and tipping the valet drivers, we headed off to leVel 33 craft brewery to chill and chat away the rest of the night. This night was certainly an interesting vortex of breath-taking and nostalgic memories, and I am glad I could spend more time with my good friends, since these fond memories are priceless.
