Exploring Financial Markets with Passion and Curiosity.

My name is Li Der, an international student from Singapore studying in Melbourne.

I am a passionate finance student with over 5 years of active participation in public markets. My core interest lies in understanding how companies create value, how markets respond, and how disciplined, forward-looking decisions drive long-term performance. I am equally drawn to private markets and their role in shaping emerging industries and fostering innovation.

Beyond numbers and charts, I enjoy exploring the broader forces that influence markets—macroeconomics, regulation, and global dynamics. I am eager to continue building my skills, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow as a professional within the investment and finance space.

Currently, I actively monitor markets and trade options on the Nasdaq (QQQ), identifying pockets of opportunity where disciplined strategies can generate returns while managing risk.
