The Proprietor
Since MCMLXXXVI
Karsten Kagels took his first position in 1986 and never left the charts. Since 2015 his German site, kagels-trading.de, has made him a market authority for German speaking traders. The English edition carries the same discipline: no black box, no borrowed opinions, only levels a reader can verify on the chart.

The Method
Two Instruments, One Reading
I.Classical Chart Technique
Support, resistance, trendlines and formations, read the way exchange floors read them for a century. Every forecast names its levels in numbers, so a reader can hold it against the chart and judge it for themselves.
II.Commitments of Traders
The weekly COT report shows how commercial hedgers and large speculators are positioned. It is the closest a chartist comes to seeing the other side of the trade, and it anchors every reading in real positioning.
Every level is drawn on live TradingView charts, embedded with each forecast.
