Cryptocurrencies explode into a bubble

Bitcoin’s strange dance near its all-time high
Bitcoin is nearing its all-time high again and everyone in the cryptocurrency markets is wondering what is going on here… The daily chart shows the erratic reaction to the SEC decision to disapprove the ETF of the Winklevoss twins.

Bitcoin ETF damned by the SEC
The SEC has finally decided against the proposed rule change that would have allowed the Winklevoss ETF to be listed and traded on the BATS exchange.

Bitcoin finally made a new all-time high
During the last hours bitcoin advanced through the magic line of about $1170, its all-time high from more than 3 years ago. The chart of the last 35 days shows a bumpy ride with the first attempt to crack the all-time high crippled by the Chinese central bank and its actions to torpedo bitcoin trading […]
Bitcoin’s rally imploded – for now
During the last hours bitcoin crashed more than 20% shortly before making a new all-time high against the dollar. The vehement move suggests that the recent rally was driven by short-term oriented traders and not by long-term investors who anticipated a new bull run after clearing the all-time high. Overall, that is a less bullish […]
Bitcoin nears all-time high
Bitcoin, the amazing cryptocurrency, has advanced over the last days. Currently it trades around $900 with the all-time high of almost $1200 in sight. The all-time high of BTC/EUR is even more close, because of the decline of the euro against the dollar. As usual, many explanations are circling around. Some have to do with […]

Swing scalping the next oil wave
Since about one year oil is on the run. It ran down! Now it is oscillating. And that is exactly the market needed for swing trading. To make money we need smooth swings. A market suitable for swing traders produces smooth swings. It is swingy. What most see just as a useless tautology is universal […]
Bitcoin prepares for the next moon shot
After the explosive peak at the end of 2013 bitcoin languished for most of the time. But now it seems to come back! The last weeks brought something like a breakout of a base that formed loosely after bitcoin draw renewed interest half a year ago. The reasons? Bitcoin is a new market and it […]
The Bitcoin miracle

Oil hits new lows
After worrying Chinese export and import data came out, crude oil dropped to a new low in the current downtrend as seen in this weekly chart. The long-term reasons are still the same. The OPEC couldn’t agree on a production cut as Saudi Arabia wants to fight competition from American shale producers. Chinese economic data […]
Bitcoin is warming up for new highs
During the last month a fallen angel has started to rise again: Bitcoin. What actually is the fuel behind the move? As usual with Bitcoin, nobody knows for sure. One month ago the Bitcoin exchange Gemini of the Winklevoss twins came alive. Perhaps this is seen by the market as a precursor of their planned […]
Volkswagen sinks to the ashes – for now
Look at this chart of the crashing VW phoenix. They are already expecting more than 6 billion Euros in direct damages, aka fines. VW managed to build intelligent cars. No, they are not as intelligent as the self-driving one from Google. Their intelligence is just sufficient to understand when they are in a test situation. […]
Oil rally or brief reversal?
The oil crash just took a breather with an abrupt two day uptrend. Will it go further? Hard to say, as the depressing factors are still in place. Reasons for this short-term rocket are most likely news about an encouraging U.S. growth and the relaxation of international equity markets. There are also reports of an […]
The oil crash goes ahead
Oil just made new lows as predicted. Time to get on board of a fine trend if you haven’t done so already. The oil market saw new price lows during the last days. There seem to be two main reasons for that: Iran closed the nuclear deal with world powers and is now on the […]
The German Bunds crash
German Bunds are the short of a lifetime, according to Bill Gross, the bond guru. He seems to have called the very low on April 21 (red circle) of the 10yr Bunds as seen here in the daily yield chart. Did he? Or did he rather influence the market with his opinion? In any case, […]
The oil crash
One of the most remarkable trends of the last months is the deep dive of oil. Oil is tanking! One reason is the US and its ability to exploit previously unprofitable repositories. Fracking has led to an oil glut, temporarily at least. The US just became a net exporter of oil after decades of being […]
How low will the euro go?
What is Zen trading? It is trading done the simple way and that means looking for the right trend and finding the right entry spot. Here we have one, the decline of the euro.

The trend scalper
This site is about true or real trends. There are two types of chart formations that look like trends. Both are trends, but only for the chartist. Beyond that they are different.

The Zen trader

Penny stock scams
The smaller the float of a stock is the lower the barriers to manipulate its price are. The penny stock markets are the Eldorado for pump and dump gamers.

Penny stock master system or Nokia the fallen angel
Since three weeks Nokia (NOK) rallied from its multiyear lows and almost doubled in price. Could this be the start of a broader comeback?

True growth stocks
Cirrus Logic (CRUS) just made a new multiyear high. During the last quarters it got dragged up by Apple, its biggest customer.

The dark side of this symbiosis is Apple’s tendency to replace component suppliers for each […]

Penny stock picks
Penny stock markets are the eldorado for stock pickers. Enjoying a penny stock pick that explodes tenfold is like finding gold in the desert. There we are. Beyond the gold that it carried Eldorado was indeed a desert. Small stock markets are similar. Most of these stocks traded there are illiquid, forgotten or completely unknown. […]
Stock picks for statistical value investing
Stock picks are always for value investing, because stock pickers are no traders. Wrong! The stock picker is no prophet. He doesn’t know the future of a stock better than anybody else. What he tries to gauge is the potential of a stock. But whether its future lives up to its theoretical price potential or […]
Stock picks and no need to trade
We are picking a stock and there is no need to time the entry or exit? That sounds like a value investor having a vision and buying a stock to hold it indefinitely. The fools from Motley seem to have invented such a thing lately. But this site is about trends. Obviously we have a […]
Stock picks or trading signals?
For value investors stock picks are often buy and hold decisions. Traders like signals, systems, algorithms and trading robots. Both miss the biggest opportunity. The typical investor tends to ignore price action. He may end up as the buy and hope investor. Many traders concentrate on one or a few trading media. At its best […]
Stock picking robot vs trading automat
Is it a good idea to let a machine do the stock picking? It is no bad idea, but it could be done better. A machine is good in picking the entry spot and determine the exit. In other words, it can trade, buy at the right time, sell at the right time, statistically of […]
Stock picking vs swing trading
For this comparison of stock picking to swing trading the latter is about trading one thing and switching it from a long to a short position and back. That kind of swing trading is the opposite of picking something. Once it got picked, but then you stay with it. The obvious advantage of a stock […]
The best stock picking system
Many love to trade stock picks, but most don’t have ever thought about a system for that. Traders look for a good stock picking source and that’s it. Often the quality of the stock picks is judged by the fun it makes to read the recommendation. That is an antisystem! So, what is a useful […]
The perfect stock picker
Is perfection in stock picking possible? No, and it is not necessary. The more you are a stock picking trader than an investor hunting after dream stock picks, the less perfect your picks have to be. The buy and hold investor relies on what he picked. He has to. How much easier could his life […]
Stock picks vs Forex robots
What is the biggest advantage of stocks to Forex? Right, the huge number of stocks that are dwarfing a few currency pairs. Stock picking is not only about picking the one with the right fundamentals or the undervalued one. A stock pick can also be solely done on technical considerations. Trend or swing trading combined […]
Trading courses for trend investors

Bottom fishing for the momentum stock
Sounds like a contradiction, but it can become reality. You just have to know where and how to search the high flying bottom bouncers. Of course, this “value momentum” trading system works only probabilistically. But that is the nature of trading anyway. So, where to look for these mysterious bottom momentum stocks? In the small […]
Riding the trend of momentum stocks
Trading the trend of momentum stocks is probably the fastest way to wealth. At least if you look for a relatively secure path to achieve this. We don’t count hazardous gambles like option plays or Forex martingales here. But small cap stock explosions without a real prior trend may offer another legit killer trading system. […]
Small cap stock monster trades
Penny stocks and trend trading, will that work? The problem for small cap stocks is the lack of continuous interest. Under such circumstances clear trends are rare. The reason is that money pours in with single thrusts and the gaps between them may be filled with terrific pullbacks. This trading pattern is not even inviting […]
Trading the stock index with positive slippage
Why stock index trading at all? Most stocks react to movements of the index, but they have a band of random noise overlaid. Trading the stock index is easier than trading the main tech stocks. While it may be a good strategy to get into growth stocks by using the index as a trading signal, […]
Penny stock signals
Trading signals are often associated with trading software and automation. But it doesn’t need to be a trading robot that is creating signals. A human being may also be sufficient. Perhaps he even outrivals his metal can cousin by a wide margin. It depends, namely on the trading environment. In the world of the large […]
Day trading and trend investing
Day trading together with trend investing. That is not day trading for trend investing, but the combination of both for diversification and a better usage of capital. The beauty is in principal that you could use intraday margin and be over night still safe with zero margin. A second advantage is the possibility to hold […]
Healing the demoralized trading mind
Traders seem often to be more struggling with the market or with themselves than celebrating their success. The media talks of the glamorous financial world and most people think these speculators make tons of money. The reality looks different. Trading is mostly a zero sum game and the larger players have generally advantages the small […]
Trend trading with ETFs
Are ETFs suited for trend trading? It depends, mainly on the time frame. In the short run some index or index-like ETFs may run smoother than individual stocks. A smooth run is the killer criterion for trend trading. Select a trending thing that runs without ripples and pullbacks and you have your trend riding horse. […]
The best penny stock picks
What are the best penny stock signals? Three ideas come to mind: Trading signals based on news Sophisticated TA signals with indicators Insider buying or selling All of them suck. News are often the base for real investment decisions, but in the small cap markets things are different. It is difficult to trade the news […]
How to win in the Forex market?
Every trader wants to know the answer to this, but unfortunately the question got asked wrong. A better wording would heave been, how to survive in Forex trading. Why? The Forex market is milking you, almost certainly, and the reason is noise plus slippage. If you are banking on chart patterns, you are lost, with […]
Trend day trading or taming the random demon
Intraday trends are hard to catch. That is the common wisdom of day traders and in their pain they try to do it more elaborate by spotting breakouts, chart formations and crossings of indicators. Oh no, that is the wrong day trading style! You are on the road to nowhere, at its best, or more […]
How to trade penny stocks?
The answer may astonish you. Penny stock trading is not rocket science. While stocks with a larger capitalization offer sophisticated analysis options, penny stock trading is as simple as it could be. The typical technical analysis that has their adepts guided to infamous wealth doesn’t work with low cap stocks. Order flow and liquidity comes […]
Index day trading
Day trading the stock market is exhausting and a suckers game. Right, at least for most of us. But there is a chance that you can learn to ride the short-term trend and tame the random beast. Two methods come to mind immediately: Either wait for news during the market session, bet on it and […]
Index autotrading
Two good ideas fused into one may become a great idea. Stock market indices are known to behave like “friendly stocks”. Their swings are often smoother than those of individual stocks and their intraday open and close runs are often more predictable. Autotrading the stock market is the undervalued weapon of modern trading. Autotrading is […]
Trading in the zone
Trading in the zone of success. What is it? It is simply this – being in sync with the market. And how to do it? Ahh,… that is the problem. The first method is the cyclical one. Watch the market and run all waves up and down with it. Easier said than done. There are […]
High probability trend trading
There are generally two ways to trade. Either be often right and make many gains, or be less often right, but make some killer trades. Which is the better one? As so often, there are various answers to this crucial trading question: The trend investing trader likes bigger gains and is less interested in peanut […]
Are ETFs for trend investing?
ETFs are a fine thing. They offer diversification to the stock market, while being tradeable like stocks. Another big plus is their fund nature. ETFs are diversified themselves, so that it is possible to apply a true money management with only two holdings per portfolio. Some widely traded ETFs like the QQQ may even qualify […]
ETF trend investing
Trend investing into ETFs may be the most convenient way for many to do the best with their money. ETF trend trading is the more safe and relaxed version of swing trend trading stocks. It is reasonably safe to put money into ETFs, because they are funds and as such diversified. There is a vast […]
Swing trend trading
Trend trading is fine when there is a trend. But what to do when there is only volatility in the short run and the price always comes back? This is the heaven for swing traders, but is doesn’t need to be hell for trend traders. For one, there are always independently moving investment targets. We […]
Trend investing vs trend trading
Trend investing doesn’t sound much different from trend trading. Both work with trends, but the trend investor is the relaxed one. While there may be different entry methods for trend investing, one thing should be clear. If the price is up from your entry, the relaxed investing phase has begun. From there on the trend […]
Trend investing in ETFs and ETNs
Investors are known to be price sensitive. The trend investor is different. It is not a cheap price that interests him, but price momentum. Still, there is a difference to the trend trader or trend follower. Trend investors try to combine a fundamental trend with a price trend. They replace value with growth. Practically this […]
Pressure charts and indicator trading
Futile indicators are only cluttering charts. TA traders don’t want to hear it, but their subconscious tells them all the time that something is wrong. Why are you changing your indicators constantly? Right, because they are nonsense. Even the best trading indicator has a severe problem. It implies that the market can be projected into […]
The best trading indicator
There is an almost religious hunt for the eternal truth condensed in some indicator for a trading platform. Visit some trading forums and be amazed. People seem to think that there is the holy grail in trading that can be expressed with a simple algorithm. Most of them know that there isn’t such a thing […]
Trend trading secrets
If there is any secret in trading, then it is to trade the trend. So, what is the secret of trend trading then? In its simplest form it is using the right stop loss method. Stopping a loss does what it implies, but for trend trading there is much more to it. It virtually guarantees […]
Trend trading software for investors
Trend trading is the straightforward investment method and doing it with software should be a pleasure. But most investors try it the other way round. Instead of going with the flow, they want to be cleverer than the market. The real trend investor judges a company’s product portfolio or the economic outlook and its meaning […]
Stock Systems
Stock Systems are trading systems for the stock market. In trading there is no definitive answer and that’s why we are in a constant hunt for the right, the next or the best system. So, which one is it, the right, the next or just a better system? It is all and none of it. […]
The trading secret
Trading is the fight against a sea of random waves and adverse winds. Most events are not foreseeable and many stock market participants, most notably the bigger ones, have significant advantages over the small, private trader. What is the promised trading secret here? Having a robust trading system, like an unsinkable sailing boat beating into […]
Why stocks and why a trading system?
For some people trading is a business and for others it is more a game. People want to earn or to win. Both groups may have different motivations, but the numbers should go only one way – up. There are different markets, stocks and options, Forex and futures, just to name the main ones. The […]
The magical trading system formula
So and so many traders and investors are after the magic formula to succeed in the stock market. Does it exist? Astonishingly the answer is yes and no. Let me explain the no first. The stock market, like all other financial markets, is tough competition. What one earns must be given by the other. Is […]
Trend trading secrets
Trend trading is the most direct system to counter the two adverse forces existing in any financial market: Other players with severe advantages The ubiquitous random price movements Like killer waves on the ocean arise out of a sea of small oscillations and unpredictable noise, sometimes a coherent movement, the trend, emerges out of nothing. […]
The best system to survive in the markets
If you don’t know anything about trading, watch out for trends. The trend is your friend, a chart pattern is suspicious and an investment tip is your enemy. What is fine for beginners is also the way to go for professionals, at least in this case. If done right, trend trading is easy. It is […]
Trend investing with growth stocks
Investors are at times the opposite of traders. Real trend traders use a stop and investors don’t. All right, stopping out of a position that was bought on value considerations makes no sense. But, why don’t investors ignore that there are trends? Some even like to do counter trend trading. That’s the sort of thing […]
Day trading for growth stock investing
Growth stocks are probably the best trend producers there are. To judge this question it is important to be clear about hindsight and anticipation. In hindsight you will always find a better trend with a better story and better profit opportunities. The trading problem is how to do it before the matter of fact. The […]
Trading signals or chart patterns for trend trading?
The difference of trading signals and chart patterns is in the visibility. A chart pattern has typically some spot like a breakout that is the trading signal of the pattern. An indicator or formula based trading system can of course also detect such a breakout, for instance, by having a very shortterm oscillator included in […]
Trend trading without a stop loss system
Trend trading works best with a tight stop. If a position is stopped out, chances are heightened that the trend has ended. This dualism makes the simple stop trend trading system robust. But there are alternatives thinkable. Instead of entering a trend and having a stop, it is possible to use an oscillator trading system […]
Technical analysis of penny stocks
Technical analysis is the trading method with the fasted possible return, simply because you can bet on the highest volatility. To put this to an extreme, apply TA to penny stocks. Penny stocks stand for volatility pure. Could this be the ultimate mix for high velocity traders? Yes, but… these penny stocks have a dirty […]
Index trading of growth stocks
Growth stocks have one severe advantage for trend traders. They have a trend with a reason behind it. Of course, every trend has its reasons, but for growth stocks the reason for their trend is obvious and analyzable. Trend trading seems to be so easy, but in reality many trends flatten out, flutter or reverse […]
Day trading vs autotrading for trend entry
Trend trading is a fine money machine, provided you have the right entry system. Spotting a trend is not that difficult, but judging its future potential is much more demanding. The more direct way of assuring profitable trading is an entry system that allows for a tight stop. There are successful trend traders concentrating on […]
Automated scalping vs trend trading
Traders like to automate their trading. A rugged trading system is the minimum, as it serves for uniform behavior and mitigates caprices of the own psychology. For traders with psychological execution problems complete automation pays off even more. Automation is not a new phenomenon in trading. Programs that try to detect the right entry and […]
Automated trading boosted by trend selection
Trend trading is easy, as long as you are able to master the entry phase and execute your stop loss plan. Sadly, timing the entry is everything but easy. Having a stop and adhering to it should be no problem, but for so many it is one nonetheless. Not being able to execute a stop […]
Two different day trading systems
Volatile growth stocks are the right trading vehicle for very different trading styles like trend trading, swing trading and also day trading. If there is volatility on the larger scale, there must be also day to day action. As a trader you are using stops and day trading is no different here. There are also […]
Getting on a trend on strength or weakness?
Trend trading differs from trend following by the entry method. While trend following switches between long and short, trend trading tries to pick the right spot after selecting the right trend. At least this is our definition, right here and right now. So, what is the right spot? The right entry spot is the one […]
Day trading of growth stocks
One method of entering longer running trends is day trading. Given that a working entry strategy is paramount for trend trading, this alone is the ultimate right to exist for day trading. Trend trading is married with using a stop loss strategy, and using a stop means finding the right entry spot. Otherwise the stop […]
Growth stocks and swing trading
Trend trading could be the easiest and most lucarative trading style. There is just one caveat and that is the entry. If you manage to enter trends safely, you have turned on your private money printing press. The real problem is of course that only a fraction of all spotted trends go ahead after you […]
Swing trading penny stocks
The opposite of a trading signal is a value signal. Value investors often have a limit below which they will buy a stock, because it is then considered cheap enough. In other words, the chances that it will go up beyond the entry price are viewed to be sufficient for an investment. The problem with […]
