Email from a new student: Traders Network - Private Forum

I recently received a heart-warming letter from one of my new students, and I thought I’ll share it here. He will be one of the lucky 10 attending the March intake of the Synapse Program, and he has already started reaping the immediate benefits of the private discussion forum, even before attending the full program!

To all current students, I have recently created a new “Trading FAQ” section in the forum, and I will be answering all these questions and more in this new section, so that all new and in-coming students can benefit from it.

Real Trading Skills Seminar at CMC Markets

Recently, I conducted a training seminar for CMC clients, sharing how to read charts without using any indicators or special software. I taught them 3 simple techniques – EMAs, Market Phase & Visual Scan – which we later used to do analyse some stocks and indices together. This was a very decent turnout with over 50 participants. I might be conducting a session that is open to the public soon. When the time is right, I will out a notification to register via the mailing list.

Shares Investment Guest Article Feature

Recently, I was asked to write a feature article in the “Shares Investment” publication to give an outlook on the Singapore market. As you can briefly see from the chart in the picture, I am expecting a larger correction, which would at least see prices dip below the 3,000 round figure. To find out more, this publication is available at selected bookstores and most news stands.
