Step 1
Top-down, yearly to 4H
Every market starts at the yearly chart and works down through monthly, weekly and daily to the 4H. The bigger timeframe frames the smaller one.
Forty years of charts, published in the open
Kagels Trading is a small German publisher of market forecasts. Karsten Kagels has traded since 1986 and has put his analysis on the public record since 2015. This page tells the story the way we tell everything: as an annotated chart.

Trading since 1986
WHO WE ARE
A trader first, a publisher second
Karsten Kagels started trading in 1986 and never stopped. What became Kagels Trading GmbH grew out of a simple habit: writing the analysis down before the session, with exact levels, so it could be judged afterwards.
Since 2015 that analysis has been public on kagels-trading.de. Every forecast shows its levels, argues the bull case and the bear case, and ends with a verdict. Readers can check any call against what the market actually did, which is exactly the point.

1986 TO TODAY
A career, read like a chart
We annotate charts for a living, so here is our history in the only format we trust: one rising line, four moments that mattered.
Karsten Kagels, all-time view
1986-2026 · YEARLY1986SUPPORT
The first trade. Every career is built on one level; this one has held for forty years of reading charts.
2015RESISTANCE BROKEN
Kagels Trading GmbH is founded in Berlin and the forecasts go public. Since then the German side has grown into a signals and education team, nine experts alongside Karsten.
2026NEW HIGH
The English edition launches: ten markets, the same method, now in English.
TODAYTARGET, STILL MOVING
Live markets updated two to three times per trading day. The line keeps printing.
THE METHOD
Top-down, level by level
Classical chart technique, applied the same way to every market, every time. No black box, the reasoning is the product.
Step 2
Exact levels, not zones
Support and resistance are named at exact prices. A level you can hold a forecast to, not a zone you can argue around afterwards.
Step 3
Bull and bear, argued both ways
Every update carries both scenarios with price targets: what has to hold for the bullish case, what has to break for the bearish one.
Step 4
Then a verdict
One side gets the stronger case, and the forecast says which. It also names the level at which that read would be wrong.
No black boxes, no performance claims, no signals-for-sale theatre. The forecasts are published openly so the method can be checked against the chart.
THE DESK
The people behind every forecast
Every English forecast carries a named author and a named reviewer, and these three names are the ones you will read. On the German side, a team of nine experts works alongside Karsten on signals and education.
