Q1: What qualities and capabilities do you believe are essential to become an outstanding IB?

A: In my view, excelling as an IB isn‘t just about capability; it’s equally about qualities. I believe an excellent IB must uphold four fundamental principles:

1. Professional Competence: Understanding the markets, mastering risk control, and being knowledgeable about regulations.
2. Educational Ability: Teaching investors to truly understand the market, not just pushing trading opportunities.
3. Ethical Integrity: Being honest, transparent, and accountable to investors.
4. Long-term Vision: Building enduring trust and fostering a healthy ecosystem, rather than seeking quick profits.

Simply put, its not just about bringing people into the market, but about guiding traders in the right direction. Only when traders follow the correct path can the industry grow healthier.

Q2: In your opinion, what value do WikiFXs products and services offer in helping investors achieve safe trading and risk control?

A: I believe WikiFX‘s greatest value lies not only in its data and tools but more significantly in investor safety education and information transparency. In an era of information overload where distinguishing truth from falsehood is challenging, many suffer due to information asymmetry. In my view, WikiFX’s invaluable contributions are fourfold:

1. Enhancing market information transparency and openness.
2. Helping users identify and avoid risks.
3. Providing investors with safe judgment criteria and reference points.
4. Elevating the industrys trust mechanisms and fostering a culture of self-discipline.

WikiFX enables investors to understand more clearly, see more profoundly, and trade more steadily—relying not on luck, but on knowledge and data.

Q3: As a seasoned IB or KOL within the industry, how should professionals convey the correct trading mindset and risk awareness to ordinary investors?

A: I believe we must do the right thing, not just say what sounds good. What should industry communicators do?

1. Speak the truth, not just tell compelling stories.
2. Emphasize risks, not offer empty motivational platitudes.
3. Share experience, not create anxiety.
4. Advocate for long-term thinking, not promote leveraging small capital for rapid multiplication.

Therefore, the correct mindset is not thrilling; it often goes against human nature. The market always carries risk; success stems from discipline, continuous learning, and accumulation. Investing is not a hobby or a fleeting passion; its a responsibility. One should not act without understanding. Responsible individuals do not push others towards risk; they guide them away from it.

Q4: For ordinary investors, what is key to enhancing their awareness of trading safety?

A: Protect your principal first, then talk about making profits. Three key things:

1. Understanding is more crucial than technique. “Trading by gut feeling without market knowledge” carries the greatest risk.
2. Choice is more important than effort. Choosing the wrong platform, following the wrong direction, or trusting the wrong person is far more detrimental than a single trade loss.
3. Risk control is more critical than entry. Protecting your capital must always be the top priority. Ordinary investors most need to develop independent thinking, avoid greed, and learn before they act. As the saying goes, “What you don‘t understand doesn’t become safer just because you believe in it.”

Q5: As a member of the Elite Committee, what responsibilities do you hope to undertake within the club going forward?

A: Firstly, I hope to foster cross-border knowledge exchange, allowing experiences and philosophies to be shared for mutual growth. Secondly, to promote the industrys correct values—enhancing transparency and strengthening a sense of responsibility through education, rather than relying on hype, speculation, or short-term gains. Thirdly, to be a voice for investors, enabling more people to have the opportunity and conditions to participate in the markets safely.

What the investment markets need is not more traders or investors, but the right traders, responsible guides, and leaders willing to shoulder the burden. Making the markets cleaner, investors safer, and education more accessible is the shared mission I advocate for.
