That board is the whole product.

Most trading sites make you scroll through promises before you reach anything useful. Kagels Trading starts with the work itself: ten markets, each with a plain directional bias and the exact levels where that bias would be confirmed or cancelled.

Every forecast is rewritten two to three times per trading day as the chart develops, on TradingView charts you can inspect line by line. A level that broke at noon is not still on the page at five. Reading it costs nothing.

How to read a Kagels forecast

Every forecast answers three questions.

1

Which way is the chart leaning?

Every market carries a plain bias: bullish, bearish or neutral. No scores, no indicators to decode, no hedged language.

2

Where is it decided?

Two concrete numbers with every update: the next resistance and the next support. If price takes one of them out, the forecast says what that changes.

3

What changed since the last read?

Each revision is timestamped and says plainly what the previous update got right or wrong. That honesty is the method.

The trader behind the board

Forty years, told straight.

  • 1986
    First trades. Karsten starts reading charts by hand, on paper, because there is no other way to do it yet.
  • 1987
    Black Monday, one year in. The lesson that risk comes before opinion arrives early and survives every cycle since.
  • 2000
    The dot-com unwind. A full mania and its collapse, traded in real time. Chart technique holds up; stories do not.
  • 2008
    The financial crisis. Another regime change in front of the chart. COT positioning data becomes a fixed part of the method.
  • 2015
    kagels-trading.de launches. The daily forecasts go public in German and grow into one of Germany's established addresses for chart-based market analysis.
  • 2026
    The English board goes live. kagels-trading.com brings the same daily work to English-speaking traders. Same board, same method, new language.
