Octa builds a Forex trading community in Malaysia

Forex trading, like any other skill, requires patience and consistency. The amount of information on the topic can feel overwhelming, especially for beginners. That's why at Octa, we organise regular free offline workshops and seminars in Malaysia to bring our traders together, guide them toward their investment goals, and help them learn Forex trading in a community of like-minded traders.

Want to know more about our community meetings? Let's overview our most recent offline events.

Learn to Earn seminar

The trading seminar took place on 18 November 2023 in Kuala Lumpur and hosted more than 120 participants. Both beginner and experienced traders benefited from this free event, as it covered all the topics essential for successful Forex trading: how to open profitable orders, develop and improve a strategy, manage and mitigate risks, and control emotions while trading.

Guest speakers included 

• Gero Azrul, full-time trader with 17 years of experience and author of the best-seller 'BBmastery The Game Changer' 

• Cikgu Danie, full-time trader with eight years of experience and Forex trading coach 

• Mohd Shukri Mahadi, professional trader, book author and YouTuber 

• Jessica Sin, finance professional with seven years of experience and the ‘Best Crypto Trader’ award recipient.

One of the event highlights was an opportunity for each participant to discuss their own trading-related questions with expert traders and receive personalised consultation on their strategy. The event also included multiple coffee breaks so that participants could discuss their trading experience over a cup of coffee and enjoy tasty snacks to recharge their batteries. Finally, each participant got an Octa merch pack and had a chance to receive other gifts by participating in quizzes.

Trading 101 workshop

The free workshop took place on 24 February 2024 at the Holiday Inn Express conference hall in Kuala Lumpur. This time, we mainly focused on meeting the needs of our beginner traders who sought a step-by-step guide on how to learn to trade from zero, make the first profit, and keep their strategy safe and sustainable.

We partnered with Ezone Constantine, a professional investor and trader in the stock and Forex market, to conduct the workshop. Ezone is a Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) in the U.S. and a Full Member of the Society of Technical Analysts (MSTA) in the U.K. At the workshop, he covered topics like things to know before trading, getting started, technical analysis, simple trading techniques with Cycle Channel Oscillator (CCO), and top challenges faced by newbie traders and how to overcome them.

‘This workshop was more than just an educational event—rather a gateway to longevity in the trading world. Octa always goes the extra mile by curating an enriching learning experience and featuring esteemed speakers and certified experts who bring unparalleled expertise to the forefront of Forex trading education. It was a pleasure for me to share my knowledge and experience with aspiring traders and help them explore the intricate balance of the three foundational pillars every trader must master: Mindset, Money Management, and Methodologies,’ said Ezone.

Similar to our other events, the guests received complimentary gifts, such as Octa branded T-shirts and 100% deposit bonuses. Yet this time, we went one step further and collaborated with Ezone to provide his elaborate online trading course worth over a thousand dollars for free to the participants who deposited with us. This allowed aspiring traders to keep learning beyond the workshop and master their trading skills under professional guidance.
