Trading Castle Recognised by ASEAN and Asia Records Under IFCCI
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 — An Education and Research Unit Partner under the International Financial Consultant Certified Institute (IFCCI), Trading Castle has received dual recognition from ASEAN and Asia Records for the “Highest Verified Single-Year Total Student Trading Research Performance Recorded by a Single Academy”.
According to a media statement, the academy was listed in both record systems after achieving more than US$50 million in verified student market research performance in 2025. The reported results were supported by structured coursework design, one-to-one coaching frameworks, and Quantum AI-assisted analytical systems integrated with risk discipline training.
The recognition marks a milestone within the IFCCI education framework, reflecting students’ advancement in market structure comprehension, disciplined execution methodology, risk management awareness, and financial literacy development.
The dual recognitions were celebrated during Trading Castle’s 2026 Chinese New Year Gala Dinner, which also outlined its 2026 roadmap. The institution reaffirmed its commitment to research-driven and compliance-oriented financial education aligned with IFCCI’s international standards.
Trading Castle stated that its programme design is built upon three core pillars: a research-driven curriculum structure, structured one-to-one mentorship methodology, and AI-assisted analytical systems combined with disciplined risk management training.
Management further emphasised that its educational mission extends beyond technical trading enhancement. The academy aims to cultivate long-term financial cognition, structured execution capability, and responsible risk management culture consistent with IFCCI’s international education principles.
Guided by IFCCI’s structured educational framework, Trading Castle maintains research- and data-based curriculum development; emphasises discipline, risk control, and market structure comprehension; promotes responsible use of technology without dependency-driven behaviour; and advocates rational, compliant, and responsible market participation.
In addition, Trading Castle outlined plans to strengthen collaboration with IFCCI in 2026, including the expansion of the Professional Diploma in Financial Market Analysis (DFMA) pathway, enhancement of international certification structures, mentor development programmes, upgrading AI-assisted data systems, and broadening regional academic partnerships.
“These initiatives aim to elevate Malaysia’s financial education landscape toward international benchmarks while nurturing competent and responsible market participants,” the statement noted.
Trading Castle executive director and chief technical analysis mentor Kingston Neo stated that the dual recognition represents a breakthrough for research-driven financial education in Malaysia.
“Under the IFCCI educational framework, we remain committed to research, discipline, and risk management as the foundation of learning. Our objective is to support students in building sustainable and responsible long-term market participation capabilities.
Financial education must be structured, sustainable, and aligned with international standards. We will continue advancing financial literacy and professional competence across the community,” he said.
In a legal clarification, Trading Castle stated that all research performance metrics referenced represent educational research execution outcomes and do not constitute actual investment returns or financial performance.
The academy further emphasised that neither Trading Castle nor IFCCI engages in fund management, investment services, trading advisory, or any form of trade execution.
Established in 2021, Trading Castle specialises in structured financial market education, research-based curriculum development, one-to-one coaching mechanisms, and AI-assisted analytical training.
