The brand promise is "real SGD numbers, real trades, every Sunday." This is the page where I make good on it.
Every Sunday morning SGT I update the numbers below — allocation, P&L, subscriber count, engines added or killed. Anyone reading Asia Compounder can verify the actual state of the experiment in 30 seconds without combing through past issues.
Current snapshot
Last updated: 25 May 2026
The five engines, today
Floor (dividend ladder / T-bill ladder / MMF). Not yet started. Planned: opening an Endowus Cash Smart position by end of June with whatever sits in the cash reserve.
Asymmetric Swing #1 — Stock screener watchlist. SGD $2,000 deployed. Position count and YTD return: too early to report — the watchlist is still being calibrated and most weeks will be zero trades. Numbers begin reporting in earnest from issue #4.
Grinder — BTC trading bot. SGD $1,000 deployed. Trades month-to-date: 0. By design, the bot trades rarely — most months are zero. P&L will be reported when a trade closes. Cumulative trades since launch: 0. The discipline of not trading is the whole point.
Asymmetric Swing #2 — Micro-SaaS or angel check. Not yet started. Earliest start: Q4 2026, once the Multiplier engine has either revenue or audience that informs a useful bet.
Multiplier — Asia Compounder. 3 newsletter subscribers · 10 X followers (@asiacompounder, account 4 days old) · 932 Instagram followers (legacy, rebranded from a previous account) · 3 pillar articles published.
Capital deployment
Trading sleeve deployed: SGD $3,000
Cash reserve (not yet deployed): ~SGD $7,000 (rough — will commit a precise figure in issue #1)
Total tracked capital: ~SGD $10,000
This week's moves (launch week)
The brand kicked off Monday 19 May with the domain, the Beehiiv newsletter, and the X account.

Custom OG cards designed and uploaded for all three articles.
Six Leaks thread posted on X with a CTA to asiacompounder.com.
Google Search Console verified — site is now in the crawl queue.
What I'm thinking about
Whether to deploy the Floor engine this week via Endowus Cash Smart with SGD $2-3k of the cash reserve, or wait for the next 6-month T-bill auction. The MMF wins on liquidity; the T-bill wins on yield by ~30bps. For the size of the position, the liquidity probably matters more. Leaning MMF — will commit next Sunday.
This page is the single source of truth for what's actually happening across the five engines. The Sunday newsletter unpacks the moves; this page logs the state.
