The Strategy Before, I tried a controlled Martingale betting strategy that set up a stop order whenever I made $20 in profit every day. Then, I also tried out a slightly different but equally aggressive version of the same strategy in parallel. This time, there was no daily goal; instead, a new rule that required…
Background The first quarter of 2025 was no exception to the years of losing bets; however, all wagers are now within my monthly budget of 1-2 thousand. Just like always, I tried various betting strategies, bet types, and bet amounts to play catch-up. But that was just for betting. I did not have a strategy…
Oh my, 2025! Time sure does fly! My expenditures have increased significantly as a result of the fact that both of my children have grown up. The monthly cost of enrolling them in outdoor activities and paying tuition fees, both online and offline, has been approximately $1000. I paid off my last HDB loan in…

I tried purchasing stocks on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2015 with UOB Kay Hian as my broker through its platform, UTRADE. Subsequently, I transitioned to Standard Chartered Bank online stock trading services as my custodian, albeit at a lower brokerage fee. BRC Asia, KSH, and DYNA-MAC are a few of the first stocks I…
