Adam Khoo
Adam Khoo is an award-winning Singaporean entrepreneur, best-selling author, peak performance trainer and a stocks and FX trader.
A self-made millionaire by the age of 26, he started and runs several businesses in education, training, learning centres, pre-school education, fund management and advertising, all with a combined annual turnover of $50 million.
We first came across Adam in August 2018 when a friend sent us a link to his “Trade Like a Casino for Consistent Profits” YouTube video which we watched and enjoyed, so much so that we went on to watch many more of his videos.
In doing so, it became clear that his approach to trading was very similar to our own; he speaks in terms of Risk/Reward and ‘R Value’, he talks about chart structure and the importance of confluence, and he explains why taking 2R trades is a very effective way to grow your capital due to the fact that you only need a 50% strike rate to be profitable.
Therefore we have incorporated links to several of his videos since much of the information he presents in his videos compliments and overlaps with information on our website. Whilst his focus is primarily on trading US stocks his philosophy and approach to trading map directly on to ours.
Adam’s approach to success is to not limit your thinking but to set goals to take you from where you are, to where you want to be, and effectively take responsibility which results in action. One of our favourite quotes by Adam which is both empowering and uplifting is; “No Matter How Challenging Your Life Is, You Have The Power To Change It!”
His tried and tested approach can be applied to all areas of life without exception, and therefore to becoming a successful trader.
His passion for trading and personal development make for a powerful combination and his teaching on Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Patterns of Excellence (POE) provide a great framework for anyone who plans to make a career from trading.
