japan 2013

Last month, I embarked on a 2 week trip to Japan, and it was simply one those places I knew I had to go back to, due to the awesome food and culture.

Starting in Tokyo, I went on to cover many areas, including Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kobe, Fukuoka, Osaka, Kinosaki and Hashidate, etc.

Some highlights include the Tokyo Disneyland, the cherry blossoms, the Kiyomizu Temple (one of the man-made wonders), Tsukiji fish market, and lots of superb sushi and ramen!

Needless to say, my mobile “15 minutes a day” trading system allowed me to continue trading on the go, at any time and any place, so I did end up taking a couple of trades during the trip.

Before I left for Japan, I left all the traders in the Traders Network with a parting gift. You can see that this chart was posted on the 19th of March in the forum, which was a clear long signal based on our studies of behavioral analysis. Prior to this, we had short signals, and this long signal was the perfect psychological time for us to take profit on the short, and turn long to make another profitable trade.

While some people say that it is impossible to time the market, I feel that perhaps they have not really tried or understood how to do it correctly. Anyway, a picture speaks a thousand words, and the charts have once again proven themselves!

This chart has been a hot topic of discussion in our Traders Network ever since I predicted the price target of 100. As usual, everyone thought I was crazy, but the chart has once again proven itself. We could go back to the old debate again that it was news that caused the USD/JPY to move, but as traders we all know that price leads the news. We will continue to monitor this chart and manage our profits, and I am glad for those who have contributed and made a killing from this.

Here are some of my previous USD/JPY predictions on this blog:

While comparing the charts of the STI and the S&P 500, I noticed something interesting which led me to believe that the STI could be resuming its uptrend soon. I have shared my full analysis with the Traders Network, and I am waiting for the feedback and opinions from the other traders. I will be sharing more tomorrow during the seminar, so do be patient.

Those lucky few who managed to secure seats for the seminar tomorrow, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

NTU 3

NTU 2

On Wednesday, we had a sharing session at NTU (Nanyang Technological University) in collaboration with the NBS Investment Banking Club, to share with undergraduates the career path of a trader. This was a great session, as I could tell many were genuinely interested, and I am happy to share my experiences with them, and lead them towards the correct path of trading success. Hopefully, they will go on to learn the right trading skills, and become part of our elite Traders Network.

We look forward to more of such collaborations and sharing sessions. Cheers!
