Land of the Setting Sun and Investment Opportunities

Most directly in the various financial sectors and particularly in the currencies, we can expect widening bands of volatility. As we move through 2015, I expect great opportunities in forex. Japan’s debt crisis in particular, and […]

I think little is needed to argue the strategic importance of oil, as it provides the primary cornerstone of our global economy. Recent slides in it’s price have caused me to reflect on its role throughout time,as a primary […]

The Thrill of Trading

I recently wrote a piece touting the importance of market timing as a lead up to my upcoming webinar. The primary focus of the article was the idea that time targets are complimentary to price targets, and as such more fully equip a trader.

I get my edge from timing

A basic premise of technical analysis is that all information one needs is contained in the price. By extension, each and every day and in fact each and every moment, a market’s price composed of a time and a price component. In other words this space/time or more specifically price/time continuum of energy is what […]

To predict or not to predict, that is the question.

As humans and certainly as traders we are obsessed with predicting. I guess we as a species have an intrinsic uneasiness with the present. From time to time I am reminded of the almost cliche concept of “living in the moment”. Our intrinsic restlessness makes the attainment of this state, at least for some, a […]

Both numerical and geometric analyses are employed to delineate these profit zones.

“Extraordinary Popular Delusions”

This coming Saturday, I’ll give a webinar. The theme of this presentation will I hope, outline the informational spaces between different markets(AKA, inter-market analysis). Considering the behavior, of the reaction space, between one market and another, sometimes allows one to infer something about either one or both of the boundary markets. My approach in acquiring […]

The No Inflation Trade

It is no accident, that I’m not a fundamentalist. The abstraction implicit to the technical approach, aids and abets my natural taciturnity. The idea that price discounts everything (known and unknown) appeals to me. Abstraction, also generalizes, which in turn allows for very economical application to a spectrum of domains. Since I’m not inclined nor […]

“Hi Ken, I’ve been diligently studying your course every available minute of the day since I got it, and enjoying it immensely, and seeing just how much potential there is in it to make me consistently successful. I just got to chapter 4, Strategy #1. WOW! This is awesome!! I can only imagine what’s waiting for me around the next corner. You must have been completely unable to sleep at night when you first discovered these things! You have no idea how grateful I am that you and your course have come into my life. There is nothing more important to me, nothing (other than God and my family) than becoming a successful commodities trader, and now I know, after 10 years of trying and trying and trying, that I am going to reach that goal. I know I’m still only on Chapter 4, but I just wanted to stop what I was doing and thank you. Thank you!!”
