Wei Sheng Wins Trading.Live Influencer Award 2023 — Pullman KLCC

TX founder Wei Sheng was recognised at the TradingLive Trading Influencers Awards 2023, held on May 14, 2023 at Pullman KLCC, Kuala Lumpur — an international ceremony honouring outstanding traders and trading educators across the financial industry.

He didn’t set out to be an influencer.

He set out to be honest about trading — what it costs, what it teaches, what it takes. He shared losses as openly as wins. He broke down complex trades on camera not because it was trending, but because he genuinely believed more Malaysians needed to understand what was happening to their money.

Somewhere along the way, that kind of honesty built something most “influencers” never achieve: trust.

In May 2023, the industry noticed.

Context — The Rise of TX’s Content Voice

By early 2023, TX was no longer a quiet operation in KL. It had a growing YouTube channel. It had Instagram content that didn’t look like every other finance account. Just structured analysis, real student stories, and Wei Sheng on camera doing exactly what he teaches: being disciplined, being honest, being patient.

TX’s content approach was — and remains — counter-cultural in the trading world.

The financial education space online is crowded with noise. Signal groups. “Premium” communities. Gurus with Rolex thumbnails. The question most viewers have, whether they articulate it or not, is: Who can I actually trust?

TX’s answer was never a claim. It was a body of work. Hundreds of pieces of content. Years of showing up. A comment section where real students talked about real results — and where Wei Sheng’s team engaged with the hard questions instead of deleting them.

That body of work was what the Trading.Live Awards jury recognised.

The Journey — Building Credibility in a Noisy Space

Trading.Live launched its Trading Influencers Awards in Malaysia in 2023 — an international programme designed to recognise outstanding traders and trading educators who had made a genuine contribution to financial literacy and market education.

The 2023 Malaysia edition ran a nominations and public voting phase before the final ceremony, meaning the recognition wasn’t just from a panel of judges — it was a signal from the trading community itself.

Wei Sheng’s nomination and win reflected a specific kind of reputation: not just as a trader, but as someone whose teaching had demonstrably changed how others traded.

His philosophy — 慢就是快 (slow is fast) — is almost a provocation in a world of “trade smarter, faster, better.” It insists that the most important edge in trading is not the indicator, the strategy, or the entry point. It’s the mind. It’s the SOP. It’s the habit of doing the same thing correctly, every time, even when the market is moving against you.

That message — patient, rigorous, unsexy — was exactly what the post-pandemic retail trading boom in Malaysia needed. Many Malaysians had opened trading accounts during lockdown. Many had won initially. Many had then lost. The market for real financial education was hungry.

TX fed it properly.

The Moment — Pullman KLCC, May 14, 2023

The TradingLive Trading Influencers Awards Ceremony was held at the Pullman KLCC — one of Kuala Lumpur’s premier five-star venues, overlooking the city’s skyline.

The event brought together winners, nominees, and industry figures from across Malaysia’s trading and financial services ecosystem. Trophies were awarded to those whose influence had moved beyond the screen — into actual traders’ behaviours and results.

For Wei Sheng, the night at Pullman KLCC was a reminder of how far the journey had come: from a personal blog written to process his own trading losses, to being formally recognised by an international trading platform as one of Malaysia’s most influential voices in the space.

“We’re not just teaching people how to profit. We’re teaching them how to think — about money, about opportunity, and about themselves.”

What It Means — Influence That Changes Behaviour

The word “influencer” is often hollow. It describes reach, not impact. It counts followers, not transformations.

The Trading.Live award specifically recognises trading influence — the kind that leads to someone making a better decision at 9am on a Tuesday when the market opens against their position. The kind that holds a person back from an impulsive trade they would have regretted. The kind that builds a community that checks each other’s work rather than just copying signals.

That’s the kind of influence TX has built.

For students considering TX, this 2023 recognition answers a key question: does the industry itself — traders, educators, and observers who know what good trading looks like — rate what Wei Sheng does?

Yes. They stood up on the stage at Pullman KLCC and said so.

If you’ve watched financial content before and always felt like something was missing — the honesty, the structure, the real talk about loss — you haven’t been watching the right educator.
