On March 1st and 2nd 2025, traders from across Malaysia and Singapore gathered for an eye-opening experience in modern financial technology which is the 2-Day Algorithmic Trading Course hosted by Algo Forest Group.

Over the course of two intensive days, attendees explored how artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping trading. With live demonstrations, real-time strategy building, and hands-on sessions led by Algo Forest Group’s leadership team, the event delivered practical knowledge designed to elevate the way traders think and operate.

Setting the Stage: Why Algorithmic Trading Now?

Kicking off the event, Wayne Ng, Founder of Algo Forest Group, addressed the crowd with a key insight:

“Emotions are the greatest cost in trading. That’s why we build systems so traders can focus on logic, data, and consistency.”

With markets becoming faster and more unpredictable, the shift toward automated, data-driven trading is no longer just an edge but a necessity. The event positioned algorithmic trading not just as a tool, but as a long-term mindset shift toward sustainable, scalable investing.

Manual trading is often influenced by emotion, fatigue, and inconsistency leading to avoidable mistakes. Algorithmic trading removes these variables by allowing traders to:

  • Automate entries and exits with precision
  • Backtest strategies across historical market data
  • Manage risk with smarter allocation models
  • Scale winning strategies without additional effort
  • Make decisions based on logic, not emotion

Whether you're trading forex, commodities like gold (XAUUSD), or currency pairs, algorithmic systems can help you make faster, smarter decisions.

Meet our Industry Leaders

The event was led by two of Algo Forest Group’s leadership team. Together, they offered a behind-the-scenes look at the strategy architecture behind the Group’s flagship products, including Dragon Wave, SMA, S10, MKD, and Flash. Attendees were given a rare opportunity to see how these tools interpret market conditions and execute trades in real time with speed and accuracy no human trader could match.

  • Confidence in testing and refining their own algorithms
