Question
For Sean Toh? Would You Recommend Forex As A Trading
Strategy To Achieve Financial Freedom?
Dear Sean,
Hi!
My name is Tim and I'll be coming to Singapore from
Malaysia next month (November) for a holiday and
I'll be buying your book '4 Steps to Financial
Freedom' and also Nicholas Tan's book, 'Handbook to
FX'. My question is, would you recommend forex as a
suitable trading strategy to achieve financial
freedom? Reason I'm asking is because I see no
mention of FX trading in your Finance &
Investment section of your website. Please kindly
reply. Thank you.

Sean Toh.
Dear
Timothy,
I'm
glad that you will be coming to Singapore for a holiday in November
and you will also be buying my book - " 4 Steps To Financial
Freedom " as well as Nicholas' book - Handbook To FX." First of all, let me take this opportunity to congratulate you
for taking actions to think about using Forex as a trading instrument
to achieve your goal of financial freedom.
In
fact, Forex is one of the biggest market in the world, but not many
people know of it or even trade it as compared to the stock market.
The Forex market is an exciting alternative to any other markets but
has been confined to banks and high net worth individuals. The scene
has changed drastically with the advent of internet and broadband.
With a deposit of a few thousands, forex trading has given retail
investors the opportunities to trade hundred of thousand dollars
online with great leverage on margin deposit. It has just beginning to
be the playground of many small time retail players.
Here
are some of my thoughts when it comes to investing for financial
freedom if you intend to use Forex Trading, Timothy!
Some question
I might asked myself if I'm going to use Forex to trade for financial
freedom.
Question
1 : What is my risk profile? What is your investment risk appetite?
What kind of investor are you? (risk averter, cautious, balanced
or risk seeker) Will Forex be an ideal trading instrument to achieve
your financial objectives.
Question
2 : What is time horizon for investing if you intend to use forex
trading to achieve your financial objectives? (1 week, 1 month, 1/2
year, 1 years, 3-5 years, more than 5 years) Your forex trading
strategies will be determined by your investment time horizon that you
have set for a particular investment objective and trading strategies
will change when your investment objective and time horizon change
also.
Question
3 : Do you have enough fund for emergency use and liquid assets to
liquidate if your investment plan does not go according to plan? When
must you exit if your trading plan goes wrong? Are you an emotionally
cool investor that will exit when loss occurred?
Question
4 : How do you get into Forex trading if you have prepared a risk
management plan to manage unforeseen investment outcomes. Are you
going to trade online or get professionals to help you to do your
Forex investment?
Question
5 : How much do you know about Forex trading and have you been
educating yourself with enough forex investment knowledge and have acquired
competence forex trading skills to trade with small amount of fund
with confidence in the actual market?
Here
is what I like to share with you, Timothy.
Before you can make some money from the stock market, currency
market, mutual fund (unit trusts in Singapore) market, bond market, commodities market, etc, you need to decide which instrument you are
going to use to create your first dollar, and then start educating yourself
first on the operating mechanism behind that instrument so that you are
comfortable and confident to make your first dollar. Next, you have to
practice what you learned on paper first for at least three months until you
get your profits on paper before investing your money. Please remember
every single dollar you manage to create from your earned income is hard
earned, so start small and invest wisely! As you gain confidence and start
making money, you can then choose to learn another new instrument or still choose to rely on the first instrument to create even more wealth.
You don’t have to know all the instruments because I myself continue to
make money relying on the few instruments that have helped me create my wealth at the beginning.
You see, Timothy. We have only 24 hours a day! We could only learn an
investment instrument well and master it to make money for us. If you
are already making money from one investment instrument, be a master
at it just like Warren Buffetts. Till you are competence with your
existing investment instrument, do you then go on to pick up a new
investment instrument. It does not really matter to me which investment
instruments I'm using as long as I could make the money using my base
money.

Timothy, I could only give you a guide to the big picture.
Forex Trading can be a great investment trading instrument if it fits your
investment temperaments and it makes money for you. As to why there
isn't any FX
trading in the Finance & Investment section of my website?
I'm also learning as much as I can as a professional Financial
Consultant. This website is just one year old and we will develop
based on the demands by readers as well as our team's competency to
advise on the various subjects we are comfortable and competent in. Well, seemed that
this will be a good start to get our Forex Investment section up in
the near future as we continue to expand. I hope I have provided you with a clearer picture before you decide on your next move. Always remember, you are in control and responsible for your investment decisions even if you ask a good financial planner to help you achieve your investment objectives. Never put all your eggs in one basket, only master investors like Warren Buffetts or George Soros know what they are doing. Last but not least, wish you all the success in your investment endeavors. Before I end,
Timothy!
Although
I have recommended and advise you on lots of matters, it takes more
than education, resources and advice for you to be successful. You
need to be patience and committed to your plan to achieve a bit of
success. It’s that bit of success that will motivate you even more
to learn and apply what you learned in life for your future success.
Just in case, if you have been waiting the whole day or week for all the
answers. I will like to apologize for the delay to your answers
because I believe in giving my best advice to you personally and
sincerely from my heart. I needed the time to understand the problems
you faced, understanding them and finding the right resources for your
education so that you have a higher success rate when you implement
your plan.
Last
but not least, may I wish you all the success implementing the plan
and achieving some results that you can see for yourself. Do consult a
proper financial planner or advisor if you are really in doubts. It's
you that make the decision to decide if you want to be successful?
Enjoy creating wealth with health. It’s has been my pleasure
providing consultancy service to you, Timothy!
Your
Sincerely
