Trading Castle, a Certified Research-Driven Digital Finance Education Academy operating within the International Financial Consultant Certified Institute (IFCCI) education framework, has been officially recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving the milestone: Highest Verified Single-Year Total Student Trading Research Performance Recorded by a Single Academy (Research-based trading performance result exceeding USD 50,235,888.80 in 2025, derived from professional course programmes, structured one-on-one educational coaching, and assisted by proprietary Quantum AI signal systems)
The official presentation ceremony was held on 28 February 2026 in conjunction with the academy’s annual gala gathering attended by mentors, assistant educators, students, and invited representatives.
A Milestone Beyond Numbers
The recognition reflects the cumulative research execution outcomes achieved by students under Trading Castle’s structured and research-driven education ecosystem in 2025.
More than a numerical milestone, the achievement represents the effectiveness of a disciplined, systematic, and research-oriented approach to financial education — one that prioritises structured learning, accountability, and responsible market participation.
The academy emphasises that all documented metrics represent research-based educational execution outcomes within its structured programmes and do not constitute investment returns.
Built on System, Structure, and Discipline
The 2025 milestone was not the result of a single factor, but of a comprehensive and repeatable education system developed over time. The framework integrates three key pillars:
- Research-Based Learning Methodology — prioritising structured analysis over speculation or emotional decision-making
- Structured One-to-One Coaching Framework — ensuring personalised guidance, correction, and accountability
- AI-Assisted Data Tools (Quantum AI System) — supporting structured market analysis while reinforcing disciplined risk management
By consistently combining research, mentorship, and disciplined use of technology, Trading Castle has established a learning environment designed to cultivate financial cognition, execution discipline, and risk awareness.
A Milestone Moment of Recognition
The ASEAN Records recognition was received by Yeoh Hong Xiang 饶鸿祥 (Chief Operation Officer), Kingston Neo 梁智凯 (Managing Director), and Bryan Hiu Tze Yen 丘智元 (Chief Financial Officer) in acknowledgment of their leadership and collective role in developing, structuring, and implementing the academy’s research-driven financial education framework.
Voices of Leadership
Reflecting on the recognition, Bryan Hiu Tze Yen 丘智元 shared:
“This recognition represents more than just a number. It shows that when financial education is delivered in a structured, research-driven way, individuals can significantly improve how they understand and approach the market.
For Trading Castle, this is an important milestone. But for Malaysia’s financial education landscape, it sends a larger message — we must move away from speculation and focus instead on structured education, discipline, and financial literacy.
The milestone was not driven by a single factor. It was the result of a system we have built over time — combining research-based learning, strong one-to-one coaching, and AI-assisted tools like our Quantum AI system. However, technology always supports discipline; it does not replace it.
When you consistently combine structure, accountability, and risk management, you create a repeatable and sustainable learning environment. That is what led to this achievement.”
Strategic Direction for 2026
Looking ahead under the IFCCI education framework, Trading Castle has outlined clear priorities for 2026:
- Expansion of the Professional Diploma in Financial Market Analysis (DFMA) pathway
- Strengthening of mentor qualification and certification standards
- Enhancement of AI-assisted education systems
- Development of regional collaborations and academic exchanges
The academy aims to contribute toward elevating Malaysia’s financial education ecosystem into a structured, internationally aligned framework that emphasises discipline, literacy, and responsible participation.
