About SwingFish
Some details about the SwingFish project, why it's here, and what we are trying to accomplish.
A few words about SwingFish
SwingFish started out with the idea to create a community for traders — a place where the reality that trading is sort of a lonely profession is countered by bringing traders together, to exchange ideas, take on beginners and grow together.
Because most places doing this sort of thing have a hidden agenda, we do this differently. From day one all services provided will be free or with a win-win offer. There are no membership fees or any other costs involved in being a member of the SwingFish community, and there never will be.
This has become our rule of engagement — members not following this rule are not welcome.
SwingFish is solely based on Mario Hennenberger's idea to create a better place to trade. Until March 2021, SwingFish was exclusively sponsored by EnFoid Pte. Ltd.
EnFoid operated partnerships with brokers and forwarded discounts directly back to SwingFish members, to eliminate the "conflict of interest" other communities may have. All of these products are solely made so SwingFish members have a real gain in being part of this community, instead of being fed misinformation for profit.

Mario Hennenberger is the owner of the SwingFish Discord, website and most of the services provided here. First trades back in ’97, began a more serious approach on trading and the financial industry about 25 years ago, moved on to full-time about 15 years ago.
Living in Thailand & Singapore since 2004.
No formal financial education — other than the knowledge that having no money sucks.
Bachelor in Automotive Engineering, then a Diploma in Electric Engineering (Industry).
Trading has very little to do with being rich or not — it’s all about percentages. Keep this in mind: “being undercapitalized is not the market’s fault” — 1% is 1%, regardless of account balance.Individuals that advertise about profits in a currency are not traders but marketers, mostly trying to make you buy something they offer — as high monetary mentions usually trigger greed in the average individual.
The capital I trade with is mostly provided by my company, which is public record.
Becoming profitable executing a specific strategy is different to becoming profitable generally and in life. That’s why the first step must be “not to lose money” — ignore strategy and anything else around it. The first and most important mission is to not lose money: trade a very simple strategy with the main goal of not getting below your deposit over a significant number of trades. After that’s accomplished, then work out your strategy and general management.

Partner with Us
SwingFish is open to sponsorships, brand collaborations, product placements, and affiliate partnerships across all our channels — including the website, Discord community, YouTube, and live trading sessions.
Referral Programme
Know someone who’d benefit from what SwingFish offers? We pay 1% of the referred deposit and 6% of realised profit commissions, indefinitely — as long as the referred member remains active. No cap, no expiry.
Sponsorship & Endorsements
We work with brokers, tool developers, data providers, and fintech companies who want genuine exposure to an engaged community of active retail traders.
However, there is one condition that is non-negotiable and worth reading carefully before reaching out:
SwingFish does not endorse products for money or recognition. We endorse products because they work.
Every sponsorship or partnership that involves a product recommendation requires us to put that product through real-world testing under live trading conditions. The results — positive, negative, or mixed — are published publicly and in full. Sponsors have no editorial input over findings, no right of review before publication, and no ability to request amendments to the outcome.
If your product genuinely does what it says, this is one of the most credible endorsements you can get in retail trading — because our community knows we don’t pull punches. If it doesn’t, you’ll find that out before your customers do, which arguably has its own value.
We understand this isn’t for everyone — and that’s fine. If you’re confident in what you offer, we’d love to hear from you.
Show the Love
Members that support us enjoy more direct support. Here are a few ways to be part of it, without us capitalising on you.
