Trader, Trainer, Author

Conrad Alvin Lim has been an on-line trader since 2004. After a poor start, he persisted by going to the US to learn from John Person (Chicago), Ron Ianieri (NASDAQ), Jon Najarian (NYSE) and a host of other Wall Street professionals between 2006 and 2007. Over the next 3 years, he further educated himself on Economics and Humanities under the mentorship of David Caploe, (Hon AB Harvard/PhD Princeton). 

Sought after for his intimate knowledge of Macroeconomics, Sector Rotation, Defensive Analysis, Financial Psychology and short-term trading techniques including Swing Trading, Day Trading and Scalping, Conrad is known for his unique and simplified blend of Macroeconomics and Financial Management for his defensive and psychological approach to trading.

Having been a victim of his own financial illiteracy that bankrupted him between 2000 and 2007, Conrad teaches and motivates ordinary people to embrace financial literacy and money savviness.

Today, he runs FinancialScents Pte Ltd (incorporating Pattern Trader™ Tutorial & Tools), the starting ground for many novice retail traders and has groomed many an institutional trader, financial analysts, bunker traders, dealers, brokers, remisiers and financial graduates from all over the world. 

In his own time, he trades the U.S. markets in particular, Equities (Industrials, Infrastructure, Agriculture and Finance) Options, Commodity Futures, Currency Futures and Bonds. His specialties are in Cyclical Portfolios, Seasonal Swings, Day Trades and Scalps.
