AN INTERVIEW WITH BOSS IRVING CHIN  

In this week’s episode of Deep Pockets we are joined by a good friend of ours here sa Investa and a very active member of the whole trading community, boss Irving Chin!  

Irving Chin's mission is to inspire and help Filipinos who want to take control of their financial future through trading. And he does this as the Head Coach, Founder and President of The Trading Foundation.  

Trained as an engineer, he promptly became a manager in his family's business abroad. He also has training and experience in management and business.   

In 2012, he decided to take a leap of faith by learning stock trading while still working for his family's business as an assistant to various managers. Gradually he decided to become a full time trader in 2014. 

That was when he grew his Php. 300,000 portfolio to Php.1.2 Million.   

In this interview, we talked about:   

✅How to handle setbacks and drawdowns in trading.  

✅How to handle your psychology when handling larger sums of money.  

✅Three important factors to becoming a consistently successful trader.   

AND MORE!
