A big thanks to those who came down last Saturday, and for making this such an awesome event! Also a big thanks to CMC Markets for sponsoring the event, and to all the guest speakers and helpers who helped complete this great experience.

It is another milestone for Synapse Trading, having grown from a simple blog to thousands of followers and students, and a strong network of traders helping complete newbies start on their journey and achieve their dreams. I couldn’t have done this alone, so I want to thank all my supporters and students for selflessly sharing your trades and helping to spread the word about us. Thanks!

Lastly, for all those who signed up for our upcoming training program on 22&23rd June, be patient, for good things come to those who wait. As I mentioned during the seminar, this will be the final run at this greatly discounted price, for we will be raising prices (for all the new content we recently added) from the next run onwards. So, if you have any friends who are still sitting on the fence, we will be having a final sharing seminar on 19th June, and it will be the final chance to sign-up for this unique training program.

P.S. For those who were present at the seminar, I will be following up on my trade calls in my next blog post. Stay tuned!

The EUR/USD is currently exhibiting Type 2 trend behaviour on the H1 & H4 timeframes, meaning that greater care is need to time your entries and exits. This new trader managed to time it pretty well, shorting the EUR/USD just as it was near the turning point, catching over 90 pips in just 40 minutes.

This trade basically combines behavioral analysis and the important concept of trading zones, which are areas of high probabilities that the Big Players will start stepping in. We can use this to our advantage.

This kind of setup works for all markets as well, and next week, when I give my preview, I will be showing how entry-timing and timely profit-taking works for both stocks and forex to maximise returns. I will also be providing a market outlook on the stock and forex markets, and sharing some exclusive trade ideas which you won’t find on the blog.

Last Saturday, I completed the final run of “The Art of Market Timing” seminar, and it was a great session. A big thanks to those who were willing to take time off from their Saturday morning, and I’m sure you did not regret it. To those who signed up for the June training program, I look forward to seeing you soon, and a big thanks to my previous graduates for all the referrals.

Next up, we have a mega-event coming soon, jointly organised by CMC Markets; and it will feature both me and our head trainer Jay, who will kickstart the event by giving us a market outlook. I will conclude the event by sharing more about trading for a living, and the life of a trader. Although the STI Auditorium is big, seats are still limited, so do sign-up quickly to reserve your seats.

After organising so many talks and events, and getting so much media coverage, I must say this is another milestone for Synapse Trading, and we will continue to deliver our down-to-Earth skills training and solid trading techniques. This is just the start of an epic journey, and we have lots more in store, so do join us soon!

Recently, there have been some good moves in the stock market, but let’s not forget the forex markets as well. This is a good short trade on the GBP/USD that we did together from start to finish, and I am glad that my students could successfully complete this trade together with me, and I hope these small victories for them will add up and give them more confidence.

In this trade, although they did not manage to capture the full trade, 100 pips on 2 contracts is still about US$2,000, which is still pretty decent for a new trader for a single trade.

Tomorrow morning, on Saturday, I will be having a re-run of the full-house seminar we had last Wednesday – “The Art of Market Timing”, and I hope to take the chance to share more examples which I have prepared. For those who managed to get seats, see you tomorrow!

Having just returned from reservist, I did a quick review of all my trades and positions, and noticed some interesting observations.

1. USD/JPY hitting our TP
Firstly, the USD/JPY has finally hit 100, after my numerous previous post predicting this magnetic number, and calling for a buy. This is a good milestone to take some profits off the table.

2. Breakout on the STI and other Blue Chips
There have been breakouts on the Straits Times Index and other bluechips, fortunately we saw it coming and were able to take long positions before the breakouts started.

3. Croesus Retail Trust IPO
This IPO was a surprise windfall for many of us, and personally I’m not a big fan of IPOs, since I don’t have much time to research, but fortunately we were tipped off by one of our trainers. This was a good punt, netting us a quick 20% profit in a single day.
