Dollar.com.sg is run by traders who met over coffee after a trader's workshop several years ago. It quickly became clear that we shared a like-mindedness in trading philosophy and more importantly, in our outlook towards family, life in general, and social consciousness. We've been fast friends ever since, each competing against the other in our daily trading, ultimately agreeing to share the spoils amongst us. The loser at the end of each week pays for the week's coffee, which incidentally, costs us almost as much as our trading commissions. We've often thought about buying a Starbucks franchise, but that's for another day.
Stan Ralston worked as a currency trader for a major US bank in NY and London for 13 years before deciding to retire from the corporate life and see the world. He spent 14 months travelling through India, the former Soviet Union and Southeast Asia before deciding to settle down as an independent trader in Singapore. He now splits time between Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore and Fiji, trading stock indexes, commodities as well as the major currencies, and consumes the most caffeine amongst all of us. Stan is married and has a beautiful daughter who studies Robotics at college in Boston. Stan may be reached at stan@dollar.com.sg
Thomas Neely is a native of California and was enticed by his then girlfriend (now wife) to move to Asia more than 17 years ago. After working in the pits trading Nikkei futures and options, Tom ventured out on his own after being lucky enough to buy some Nikkei puts in late 1989. Tom bought puts on the Nasdaq in late 1998 and rolled them over, and over, and over, waiting for a decline that wasn't about to happen. After selling out of most of his position at a loss, Tom finally made some money after the market declines of 2001. He says the experience made him a better trader. Where have we heard that before! But from what we've seen since, we think Tom's one of the best. Tom and his wife have two young girls aged 3 and 5. Tom may be reached at tom@dollar.com.sg
Ok, so what are we doing with this site? Quite simply, we wanted to share the combined experience we've accumulated over the years to help new traders learn the ropes, quickly, realistically and hopefully without losing too much money. Friends and associates have suggested we write a newsletter or manage funds. We don't do either and think others can do both better than us - so we decided to keep things simple and help those we could while using this vehicle to express our views. We welcome other traders to join in with contributions and experiences.
Disclosure...some of the advertisements on this site may pay us a small fee for listing them and some for subscriptions you might purchase through links on this site. But rest assured that doesn't influence our comments and we hope you won't grudge us that privilege. The advisories we've chosen to recommend are those we've tried personally at some time or another, have benefited from in terms of understanding markets and trade tactics, and which meet our criteria for demonstrating thought leadership in their area of recommendations. For the benefit of subscribers, they must be easy to follow in terms of specific entry points, and more important, when to get out when wrong. Most important, we believe they can help traders improve their trading results.
Having said that, there is the obligatory "past results are no guarantee of future performance". This site is meant as an educational medium and community for traders.
