Partnership opportunities
Since 2009, I have written and taught about trading for people in Singapore who are new to it, and a few who are not. Along the way, brokers, exchanges, publishers and event organisers have asked to work with us. Some of those collaborations went well, and they are below. Others did not, and they taught us which kinds of deal to say yes to.
What we do
Content sponsorship, SGD 5,000. One educational YouTube video of 15 to 20 minutes, with the sponsor named in the description and twice in the video. A blog post with the transcript and the video embedded. Clips of it on our other channels. The fee is fixed and is paid before the video goes up.
Speaking, workshops and corporate training. Send us the event details through the form, and we will reply with a quote. For a non-profit, we sometimes waive the fee.
Media features and interviews. If you are writing a story and a trader’s view would help, we are glad to take part.
Broker referrals, on a fixed fee. We take a fixed fee per funded account from licensed brokers that suit our students.
What we usually don’t do
We don’t usually take a commission on how much our students trade, because we don’t want our income tied to it. We work with firms licensed by a recognised regulator, and before we reply we check the licence on the regulator’s own register.
Who have we worked with?
Singapore Exchange (SGX). Speaker and panelist at the SGX Active Traders Conference in 2015. With SGX and TradeHero, I wrote the syllabus and every script for a 15-part animated series for new traders. It has passed 240,000 views across the 15 videos. Watch the series or read about it.
Brokerages. CIMB Securities, City Index, CMC Markets, Maybank Kim Eng Securities, Phillip Securities and Lim & Tan Securities have all had me speak at their events, starting with a technical analysis seminar at CIMB in January 2012.
A day in the life of a trader. A sponsored video on how a trading day runs, from the pre-market check to the end-of-day review. The sponsor’s tools came in at the end, where they fitted the story. 11,000+ views.
A promotional shoot in Malaysia. A brokerage flew me over for a few days of filming. In one clip, a new trader asked me questions in a car and I answered on the spot. 2,000+ views, none of them promoted by us.
In the press. Business Insider (2022), Money FM 89.3 (2018), Lianhe Zaobao (2016), Big Fat Purse, now Dr Wealth (2014), and The Business Times (2011), plus a guest article I wrote for Shares Investment (2012). More in the media kit.
Universities. Panelist at the SMU Business Forum in 2017, and talks at NTU, NUS and SIM.
Credential. Certified Financial Technician (CFTe), International Federation of Technical Analysts, 2014.
