Abstract：Join forex expert Tom as he shares his journey, trading wisdom, and thoughts on AI and the future of forex in WikiFX’s inspiring “Inside the Elite” interview.
WikiFX has launched the “Inside the Elite” Interview Series, featuring outstanding members of the newly formed Elite Committee. During the committees first offline gathering in Dubai, we conducted exclusive interviews and gained deeper insights into regional market dynamics and industry developments. Through this series, WikiFX aims to highlight the voices of professionals who are shaping the future of forex trading — from education and compliance to risk control, technology, and trader empowerment.
This interview features Tom, a renowned forex expert and influencer, specializing in patterns, Elliott Wave Theory, SMC, algorithmic trading, and harmonic patterns.
Q1: Could you please give us a brief self-introduction, including your background, professional experience, and industry achievements?
A: I am a trader primarily focused on using Elliott Wave Theory for directional analysis. My trading approach is a hybrid model: I combine hands-on market analysis for manual trading with the development and deployment of algorithmic trading systems to scale performance and manage risk.
In addition, I enjoy sharing my market insights and educational content with the trading community on Instagram.
Q2: In your opinion, what abilities and qualities are essential to become an outstanding IB?
A: An outstanding IB must possess a strong combination of integrity and deep market knowledge. Trust is the foundation of this role — clients must genuinely believe that you are acting in their best interests.
Equally important are excellent communication skills, allowing you to explain complex trading concepts clearly and recruit effectively. Finally, strong responsiveness and client support are critical for maintaining high retention and building a sustainable, long-term business network.
Q3: What value do you think WikiFXs products and services bring to investors in helping them achieve safer trading and effective risk control?
A: For new traders, especially, WikiFX is an invaluable resource. Its primary value lies in its ability to screen out unreliable or fraudulent brokers quickly.
The platform performs the essential work of verifying licenses and regulatory status, providing investors with the transparency they need. By leveraging WikiFXs data, traders can protect their capital from the outset of the decision-making process and avoid major scams or high-risk platforms.
In essence, WikiFX serves as the first line of defense for safer trading and fundamental risk control.
Q4: In your view, what are the most noteworthy trends in the forex industry over the next three years?
A: The most significant trend is that the inherent stability of the forex market — driven by its massive, continuous 24/5 trading volume — will increasingly attract institutional capital.
Compared with the volatility of equities or cryptocurrencies, forex offers superior liquidity and more stable execution. As a result, we can expect a substantial increase in institutional adoption, with large funds leveraging the forex market as a core component of their portfolios.
Q5: With the rapid growth of AI trading and automated strategies, technology is clearly making trading more efficient — but do you think it is also creating new kinds of risks? How can we make trading safer in this new era?
A: Absolutely. While AI significantly improves efficiency, it also introduces new risks. The primary danger lies in overreliance—traders may assume that algorithms are infallible and neglect essential financial education and risk-management principles.
If an AI system fails or crashes, traders who lack fundamental knowledge can suffer severe, rapid losses.
To make trading safer, we must emphasize continuous education alongside technological advancement, ensuring that traders remain the final, informed line of defense.
Q6: As a member of the Elite Committee, what responsibilities do you expect to take on in the future? What contributions would you like to make to the Club and the industry?
A: As a member of the Elite Committee, I see my role as actively promoting the development of the forex industry and advancing high-quality educational initiatives.
My core contribution will be consistently sharing accurate trading knowledge and best practices within the Club and across the broader industry. The ultimate goal is to raise professional standards, attract well-informed participants, and ensure that more traders approach the market with a strong foundation and proper risk awareness.
