Speakers’ Profile

Yong Chin Hiong

Yong Chin Hiong started trading structured warrants when he was a Remisier at Phillip Securities. Through his 8 years of trading and experience in the volatile market for index warrants, he developed a systematic trading method called Low Risk Matrix Model (LRMM). Rather than looking for one big trade, the LRMM looks for small profits throughout the day and focuses on Risk Management, which never lets losses accumulate. And with this model, he eventually set up a team of proprietary traders that focus on structured warrants scalping using LRMM with much success. Apart from running his proprietary trading desk, Chin Hiong is also currently conducting a structured warrants trading course together with SGX Academy and provides a live virtual trading environment for his course participants at his office.
