In this short interview, we managed to learn about a few insights from Sean Chin MQ.
NY Weekly: What is the best business to invest in today?
Sean Chin MQ: Currently, the market is moving towards ESG-related fields. The best business to go into would be ESG, carbon credits and trade financing because the world needs import and export. Also, let’s not forget medical lines and e-health technology.
When it comes to commodity markets, for the short and medium term, I would recommend watching crude oil in consideration for both long and short. Then we have Silver, which I’m currently watching as well. Silver is a good asset as a security, and it is a long-term play. Now, for the medium-term and consistent profit, I’d recommend watching gold for both long and short.
NY Weekly: How would you describe your investment strategy?
Sean Chin MQ: I would like to point out that I do not rely on predictions based on the news, so definitely no fundamentals. To describe an investment strategy would be to describe an artist crafting his perfect painting on paper. I rely on technical trading, with heavy use of graph plotting to get an accurate Golden Ratio sequence before commencing any trades.
NY Weekly: What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken in your career?
Sean Chin MQ: Moving out of my comfort zone as I have tried living in several other countries, even with limited sources of income, therefore forcing myself to familiarize myself with different cultures, markets, challenges and setbacks.
NY Weekly: What is your performance history?
Sean Chin MQ: I remember the best performance of my life was in 2013 when I was attending Asia’s trading competition. That time, I geared up the leverage to 99.99% with a maximum drawdown, traded for one year and made a profit of 7000%.
However, on standard, I keep my trading consistent, trading for investors with an average profit of 40% per annum that involves safe strategies and no high-leverage trading.
NY Weekly: What is your client base like?
Sean Chin MQ: High net worth clients, wholesale clients (half a million and above)
NY Weekly: Do you work with institutional investors?
Sean Chin MQ: Yes, in fact, we are currently working with several Chinese state-owned enterprises, and for now, we are solidifying our base in order to look into more opportunities for the same.
NY Weekly: How long are the investors locked in for?
Sean Chin MQ: This really depends on the amount and their comfortability. We tailor to suit the customers’ needs and risk appetites.
NY Weekly: Have you ever been in a tight spot, and if so, how did you manage to get out of it, and what would you recommend others to do in challenging situations?
Sean Chin MQ: Of course. I have made detrimental connections that have harmed me, partnerships that have gone south and lots of betrayal, especially when you are dealing with big volumes of money; this is very common.
Self-reflection and motivation are key in these situations. To be able to remove oneself with a calm mind and look towards various solutions with clarity. Staying calm has been very important to my growth. I recommend others, when faced with a crisis, not to give in to frustration but instead accept the challenge as a learning curve to steady themselves and learn from those weaker times.
