Marcus Tan
Senior Market Education Specialist
Trade Hub Limited
12 years helping independent learners understand technical analysis and market fundamentals without the hype.
Background & Experience
Marcus started his career as a market analyst at a Singapore-based investment firm before transitioning into financial education in 2013. He recognized a significant gap — too many resources focused on quick profits instead of actual learning.
Over the past decade, he's worked with multiple fintech platforms and educational institutions to design curriculum that emphasizes technical literacy and risk management. His breakthrough came in 2018 when he developed a structured technical analysis course that prioritized chart reading fundamentals. That work caught the attention of the Singapore fintech community and led to speaking invitations at major industry events.
Marcus holds a Bachelor's degree in Finance from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and earned his Chartered Market Technician (CMT) certification in 2015. He's collaborated with leading market technicians and practitioners across Southeast Asia to ensure his teaching materials reflect real-world trading dynamics.
Today, he leads Trade Hub Limited's educational initiatives. His approach combines rigorous technical instruction with transparent disclaimers about market complexity and the importance of personal due diligence. He's designed webinars and live demonstrations that've reached over 8,000 independent learners—all with the same focus: honest education, not hype.
