I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

No safety net in trading futures, options or forex!!! - 2nd Revisit

No safety net in trading futures, options or forex!!! - Revisit

Win or lose. No Hold please!

If you dislike the ideas of losing your money then it is better for you to avoid forex, futures and options as such financial instruments are invented for the purpose of winning and losing. 


You can't really hold on to them as there will be time decay risks and incur additional financial costs for holding them overnight.

No Time to watch the market

If you don't have plenty of time to watch the market, how could you afford the time and efforts to participate in such highly time sensitive and breaking news driven speculative adventures.

Know the differences ... Gambling - investment - speculation and Are you investing or speculating?


Not for income

What is your financial objective of coming into the market?

If your financial objective is to build future wealth for retirement and to fight inflation then you are better off dealing with assets-based financial products such as stocks rather than highly speculative products that are invented for the purpose of providing income streams for day traders.

Hate stop losses

If you hate stop losses and most of the time couldn't honor them, then participating in win or lose activities is naturally bad for your health over long term.

  1. Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing.

    There are 3 criteria to determine which currencies to buy:
    a) The currency must have relatively higher interest rate than other currencies.
    b) The nation must have budget surplus.
    c) GDP growth must be healthy and positive.

    After determine which currency to buy, check out the trend of the currency. The saying that “the trend is your friend” is always true. We will use our trend strategy to determine the medium term trend of the currency pair.

    Next we need to find out the behaviour of the currency pair that we want to trade. This can be performed using our FX Behavioural Software. After finding out the past behaviour of the currency pair, we can use this information to generate buy / sell signals.

    We will always buy near a support level and we will sell near a resistance level.

    Next we will determine where is our stop loss and target loss. Make sure that you do not risk more than 2% of your capital for each trade.

    This is how we trade and we have been doing well in our trading.
