Introduction
Hello! My name is Marcus and I am currently a Business student residing in Singapore. Ever since 2019, I have been trying things to understand what works for me. The things I have tried include copywriting, web development, investing, working in the administrative line, and a bit of entrepreneurship. Through my journey, I found two key things that might serve as principles for determining what I should be doing:
- I liked the idea of being able to understand and utilize the resources around me and direct it to some profitable end,
- I liked the novelty that comes with manipulating computers through programming to serve my own ends.
However, throughout my journey, there are a few factors that are impeding my progress to find out what works for me. Firstly, I have incurred a substantial amount of monetary cost, which are the byproduct of failures and personal weaknesses. As the number of failures mounts, the amount of money I have decreases, which increases the fear of running out of funds, thereby affecting the clarity of my mind. Secondly, I have also incurred a substantial amount of time cost, due to a lack of a proper recording system to track my progress and mistakes. Without a proper recording system, I could not efficiently identify my errors, thereby spending a lot of time making the same mistakes when that time could be spent making progress towards a definite end.
To solve these two problems, I need to have a consistently growing base capital as well as a place to record and analyze my progress and mistakes while coming up with my next actions. After some considerations with how I can grow my base capital, I have chosen trading as the means to serve that end. As for the reason why trading comes to mind, I have gotten some results from some of my trading experiments. As for having a place to record and analyze my progress and mistakes, this blog will be where I record and analyze them.
What to expect from this blog?
It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.

You can expect to see my financial trading attempts on this blog. It will contain things such as ideas, reasoning, and results generated from the execution of those ideas. It will also contain an analysis of my reasoning relative to the results generated.
