To The Moon

Speaker: Tom Yuen (YCK) walks through a simple Fibonacci pullback setup with an 80/20 exit, compares futures with options, and flags changes coming to contracts and US trading hours.

[About the Speaker] Tom Yuen (YCK) has over 30 years of professional futures trading experience, starting as an independent floor trader at SIMEX (now SGX-DT). A Computer Science graduate of the National University of Singapore, he is an SGX-DT-endorsed trainer who has trained traders across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

[The Hook] A good setup, YCK argues, is more than a chart pattern. It also needs a plan for managing money and managing yourself. He demonstrated with a simple Fibonacci-based approach.

[The Setup: Buying a Pullback to a Fibonacci Level]

1. Find the context — the market drops into a support zone and then makes an impulsive move up. That suggests a short-term bounce is likely.

2. Wait for the pullback — the market rarely goes straight up. Don't chase it; let price retrace.

3. Draw the Fibonacci tool from the swing low to the swing high. Charting software fills in the ratios automatically.

4. Enter at the retracement level — in the session's example, the 38.2% level.

5. Plan two exits — the first at the previous high (100%), the second at the 161.8% extension.

A downside setup is the reverse, working from resistance. YCK noted this is one of several possible setups and that he left out more complex details.

[The Worked Example and the 80/20 Exit]

The session's case study (generated with an AI tool from his partner's strategy) used a base at 29,273.50 and a recent peak at 29,535.00, with entry at the 38.2% retracement. It split the position 80/20:

• 80% of the position exits at the first target, 29,535.00, locking in most of the profit.

• The remaining 20% stays on to the 161.8% extension at 29,696.50.

To split 80/20 cleanly you need at least five lots. The education point is psychological as well as mathematical: once most of the trade is closed, the remaining risk is small, and the market decides how much extra reward you get. One worked example is not a guarantee, and a setup like this still needs a stop-loss.

[Size Is Where People Get Hurt]

YCK shared student examples ranging from single-contract trades to very large position sizes. His caution was the useful part: margin and leverage amplify results in both directions, you can still lose when you size up out of confidence, and nobody should start by copying someone else's lot size. Pick a size that fits your own account and risk tolerance.

[Outright Futures, Options and Spreads]

YCK separates three skills: trading futures outright, trading options, and trading spreads. He prefers outright futures because they are straightforward: if you are right you make money, and if not you cut.

He explained options with an insurance analogy. You pay a premium for an event to happen; if it does, you get paid, and if not, the premium is lost. The familiar line that options offer limited loss and unlimited gain is true in theory, but he cautions that over the long run buyers lose without an edge. Sellers collect premiums but can face unlimited loss unless they are very experienced. Outright futures are simpler but demand a good read of market structure.

[What's Changing]

• Smaller contracts — exchanges keep launching mini and micro versions, so more people can participate with a smaller account.

• Single stock futures are being relaunched in the US — earlier attempts ran into liquidity problems. They let you take a directional view on one stock with margin rather than the full cash amount. Check each contract's specification, and note that futures can trade at a premium or discount to the stock.

• Longer US trading hours — Nasdaq is targeting Sunday, 6 December 2026 to start near-24-hour trading, five days a week, subject to SEC approval and market infrastructure readiness. YCK told attendees to watch for broker notifications.

His advice for getting started: pick something you already know well, such as gold or a major index, and choose a small contract with enough liquidity.

[Key Takeaways]

• A setup needs three parts. Entry method, money management and psychology.

• Plan the exit before the entry. Targets and a stop-loss belong on the chart first.

• Scale with your account, not with someone else's. Position size multiplies outcomes either way.

• Know what you're buying. Futures, options and single stock futures each have different risks.

[Call to Action 🎯]

1. Find a recent swing on a chart of a market you follow and practise drawing the Fibonacci levels on it.

2. Mark where your first target, second target and stop-loss would be.

3. Drop a comment: which contract or product would you like a deeper walkthrough on?
