Kar Yong strongly believes that we should do what we love and do it often. He is not worry about getting a job; as a self-taught currency trader, he won't be needing one. Since 2012 when he started his trading career, he is on his way to write his own pay checks and achieve financial freedom much earlier than most of his peers.

Kar Yong was featured in Channel Newsasia’s Money Mind Young Investor in 2013. In the same year he was also featured as a Social Guru on eToro social trading platform where he led the way in a bustling global trading market and guided more than 1,000 traders with a developed strategy and perspective of market conditions through discussions and blogs.

In 2014, he created a platform dedicated to people with similar interest in currency trading. His desire to share and connect with people has since influenced many aspiring traders. He is now an internationally sought-after trainer, receiving mentorship requests from traders all over the world.

In 2015, Kar Yong decided to further reach out to fellow students and young adults. He believes that financial education is the next most important skill set one should have in today's society. This dedication of his in empowering the youths has led to the creation of the AlphaPlay Incubator. Students from different walks of life have thus benefit from this programme, and are certainly on their way towards financial freedom.

Going into 2016, he challenges himself to develop a community of consistently profitable traders through the AlphaPlay Mentorship Programme. He believes that with the proper approach and guidance towards trading, it is the one career that can provide true freedom - financially, physically and mentally.
