To The Moon

Speaker: Ada Tan Jia Ying

Hey Tigers 🐯!

When people first open a brokerage app, they usually think about one thing:

Trading.

But during the latest Tiger First Stripes: Getting Started with Tiger Trade App session, Ada Tan Jia Ying showed that Tiger Trade is designed to be more than just an execution tool.

Beyond placing orders, users can also earn rewards, follow market discussions, learn from other investors, and access educational content inside the app.

The bigger idea is simple:

🎁 Tiger Points: Turning Activity Into Rewards

One of the features Ada introduced was the Tiger Points system.

Users can earn points through activities such as:

•         daily check-ins

•         completing missions

•         community interaction

•         trading-related tasks

These points can then be redeemed for different rewards, including items such as:

•         cash vouchers

•         commission-related benefits

•         merchandise

At first glance, this may look like a simple loyalty program.

But the more interesting point is how it changes the user experience.

Instead of opening the app only when you want to place a trade, users are encouraged to interact with the broader ecosystem more regularly.

That includes learning, reading, engaging with content, and completing tasks.

The key takeaway:

That can be especially useful for newer investors who are still building market awareness and investing habits.

💰 A Reward Worth Understanding Carefully

Ada also introduced the Binding Reward mechanism.

According to the session, users who bind with an investment representative and complete the required trading activity within the specified period may qualify for a cash voucher reward.

The example highlighted in the session was:

5 qualifying trades within 60 days

Each trade worth at least SGD 1,000

Reward: SGD 50 equivalent cash voucher

This is the kind of promotion that can sound attractive immediately.

But there is an important principle behind it:

Never trade only for the reward.

A promotional benefit should remain secondary to the investment decision itself.

The trade should make sense first.

The reward comes after.

That distinction is important because incentives can easily influence behavior without users realizing it.

🤝 Community: Investing Is Also About Information

Another major part of the walkthrough was the Community section.

Users can follow:

•         market experts

•         KOLs

•         other investors

and read or publish investment-related content.

This is useful because investing is rarely an isolated process.

Market views are constantly being shaped by:

•         earnings

•         macro data

•         sector trends

•         company news

•         investor positioning

A community layer gives users another place to observe how other market participants are interpreting the same information.

But Ada’s walkthrough also points to an important distinction:

That is especially important in financial communities.

A confident opinion is not the same as a verified fact.

A popular post is not automatically a good investment thesis.

And someone else’s risk tolerance may be very different from yours.

🧠 Use Community for Discovery, Not Blind Conviction

The best way to use an investing community is not to copy trades.

It is to improve the questions you ask.

For example:

Instead of:

“Should I buy this stock because someone posted about it?”

A better process is:

Why is this person bullish?
What data supports the view?
What could invalidate the thesis?
Does the time horizon match mine?

That turns Community from a source of noise into a research input.

Ada’s session reinforces a useful mindset:

That is a much healthier way to participate in any financial community.

📚 Learning Resources Inside the App

Tiger Trade also includes built-in educational resources.

The session covered content such as:

•         basic trading knowledge

•         product introductions

•         app tutorials

•         online seminar replays

For beginners, this can be one of the most useful parts of the platform.

Because the hardest part of starting to invest is often not finding information.

It is knowing which information to learn first.

A structured learning section can help users build knowledge in a more organized way.

And that matters because product understanding should come before product usage.

If you do not understand how an instrument works, it is probably too early to trade it.

That principle applies whether the product is a stock, option, future, bond or something else.

🌐 Beyond Trading: Build a Better Investing Routine

This is where the different features start to connect.

Tiger Points encourages engagement.

Community expands your information sources.

Learning resources improve product knowledge.

Together, they create a broader investing loop:

Learn → Observe → Discuss → Research → Decide

Not:

Scroll → Copy → Trade

That difference matters.

The goal is not to spend more time inside an app.

The goal is to use that time more intentionally.

🐯 Ada’s Key Takeaways

The session highlighted three useful areas beyond trading:

Tiger Points
→ Earn points through participation and redeem rewards

Community
→ Follow market discussions, experts and other investors

Learning Resources
→ Build product knowledge through tutorials and educational content

But the deeper takeaway is this:

Rewards can make the experience more engaging.

Community can give you new ideas.

Learning tools can improve your understanding.

But none of them should replace independent thinking.

Use the ecosystem to become a better investor, not just a more active user. 🧠📈
