Rayner (00:00)
Hey hey, what’s up my good friend?
So in at present’s episode, now we have Axel Kibar.
He is an ex-fund supervisor and a classical chart sample dealer.
So one factor that is fascinating about Axel is that should you observe him on Twitter, or these days they name it X, proper?
You notice that his charts, proper?
Truthfully talking, it is one of many cleanest that I’ve come throughout on the platform.
He would not have these messy indicators, squiggly traces protecting all around the charts No…He’s charts are very clear and one have a look at his chart.
You’ll sense what the market is making an attempt to let you know.
So, Aksel has the most effective charts that I’ve seen on the Twitter platform Or ought to I say, X platform.
Anyway, if you wish to join with Aksele, I am going to put his social media profile within the description beneath.
Now throughout my dialog with Axel, we coated a couple of issues.
First, we talked about his life within the military, what are the issues he did, and the teachings he discovered again then.
Then we spoke about how he landed a job as a fund supervisor.
Let’s be trustworthy, it is a job that I believe most of us wish to get however we simply someway do not know the way to go about doing it.
So he shared the method that he did to land a job as a fund supervisor.
Then shifting on, he talks about classical chart patterns as a result of that is the way in which…
He trades the markets, he shares with us what he appears for within the charts, his entry, cease loss, and targets.
Then he additionally shared the 4 kinds of breakouts that I really feel each dealer ought to know as a result of not all breakouts are equal.
So he shares these 4 various kinds of breakouts, how you need to go about figuring out them, the way to commerce them, and the way to handle the breakout trades, relying on the kind of breakouts that you’re encountering.
Then lastly in direction of the tip, he shares how he goes about scanning the markets for buying and selling alternatives, his day by day routine, and his weekly routine.
So we’re gonna cowl all this in at present’s session.
Go take heed to it proper now.
Rayner (02:01)
Okay,
welcome Axel to the present.
I am so completely happy to have you ever at present.
Aksel (02:07)
Hello, Rayner, it is a pleasure to be a part of your present as properly.
Rayner (02:12)
So to kick issues off, I as soon as heard that I believe on one other buying and selling podcast that you simply had been within the military, so perhaps to kick issues off, what had been you doing within the military beforehand?
Aksel (02:23)
Properly, the military is in Turkey, it is a necessary service. So we can’t precisely say that it is hardcore navy service, however everyone has to do it.
And I used to be one in all them as properly.
So principally, that is the way it works. Through the years, they shortened the interval of the navy service in Turkey.
My mother and father used to do it for 18 months and perhaps much more.
Some have finished two years of service.
So in my case, what occurred is that should you’re a college graduate, you might be solely doing it for six months.
So the time shortened and shortened, and now I believe it’s a paid service.
So should you, it is like principally they rent navy personnel.
So now what I’ve finished is six months.
I had the choice to do it for 12 months with the next rank, however I made a decision to go for six months as a soldier.
I used to be a Marine soldier on the West coast of Turkey.
It was, I might say everyone to start with is frightened of the navy service they usually really feel prefer it’s a waste of time and it takes away from their life, and many others.
Then if you speak to individuals who have finished it, they at all times have good recollections.
I by no means thought that I might have good recollections after it.
Nevertheless it’s true since you get to fulfill a whole lot of fascinating folks there from totally different elements of the nation, totally different ranges of schooling.
It is humorous, it is anxious, and I imply there’s at all times a threat of struggle, nevertheless it’s extra of a protection a part of issues that retains you at all times alert, not that you simply’re gonna go to struggle, however on the base principally, there was at all times stress.
That stress retains you alert and to start with, a couple of months, due to that stress, you neglect what you had been doing in actual life.
The primary month is often the fundamental coaching, disciplinary coaching, the orders, and so forth.
After the primary month, there’s the ceremony and then you definitely transfer to the subsequent stage, through which you spend 5 months and somewhat bit extra knowledgeable standing.
In my case, virtually in everyone’s case, they attempt to search for your academic background and attempt to make the most of that.
So should you’re an engineer, you may be participating within the automotive workshop.
I used to be an economist, so essentially the most appropriate part for me was the accounting division of the cafeteria.
So I used to be liable for six totally different shops and principally, this got here after my 4 years of economics examine and I might say that I discovered essentially the most in…
In that navy service accounting division or the grocery store part, then 4 years of economics examine.
So it was such an fascinating expertise that you simply get to study, as a result of we had the bottom of a thousand folks, and a thousand folks refill the bottom, after which they get their coaching after two, three months.
They’re moved to their authentic navy bases.
So we had been principally a coaching camp kind of a spot and so that you max 2,000 and then you definitely drop 200.
I’ve seen this cycle twice throughout my six-month keep.
When it reaches 2,000 folks, you are speaking about an enormous financial system there.
Okay. So to illustrate — The restaurant would not have good meals.
All people piles as much as have a toast or some form of snack from the cafeteria and the gross sales go up like loopy So navy will not be imagined to revenue from gross sales.
So we purchase issues with packing containers And if you divide the gadgets into 25 models or 30 models you get the value tag off the price is 22 fills
So it’s important to, you can’t spherical it to twenty fills.
It’s important to spherical it to 25 fills.
So if you spherical it to 25 fills, you get 10 to fifteen% revenue, and over 1,000 models to 2,000 models of gross sales, you get to see an enormous profit-building up within the money registers.
So… Mainly, I’ve seen how the inhabitants has an affect on the financial success of small shops.
So the plenty going wild on water in the midst of the summer time, and all these small, small income piling up is providing you with some form of loopy revenue on the finish of the month.
That revenue was being distributed to troopers in want who did not have monetary help from their households.
So like some form of a wage being given to folks in want.
That was the financial background of what I’ve been doing. I used to be liable for six totally different shops on the finish of every month.
We used to attempt to match the money register and the gadgets that had been being bought, and many others.
Ordering of utilities, rest room paper, T-shirts, tea, you identify it, every thing that was out there.
So shopping for the newspapers, and ensuring that the shares had been out there had been all my duty and I used to be managing six totally different shops out of which three of them had been youngsters which have had a college background.
Three of them had been major college graduates.
In order you possibly can see totally different academic ranges from totally different elements of the nation and the college grads had been in a position to match their money pile since you give change.
You’re taking, to illustrate — a thousand Turkish lira and also you give change.
Typically the opposite youngsters had been making errors.
So there have been shortfalls within the money.
So that they needed to put it from their pocket, from these errors.
Yeah. Ouch.
Yeah. In order that’s life.
So that you get to see totally different elements of the nation, and totally different academic ranges, and these all had been good recollections as a result of all of them taught me what life is about.
As a result of you do not get to see, if you’re working as an economist or an analyst in a financial institution, you do not get to see everyone, every kind of profiles.
However within the navy service, you get to share the room with them and with totally different folks, totally different academic ranges, and totally different statuses.
So it was a distinct expertise.
I loved it.
Like individuals who have commented on it after finishing their navy service, I additionally share the identical views.
Now, they at all times say that even in order for you, you can’t return and that is true.
Like, and I am at all times telling my buddies and my household, I would not thoughts going and spending two months now with the identical crowd and doing the identical issues.
So it was that half. It needed to be finished, however I am glad.
I used to be given the prospect to do it for an extended interval.
Rayner (12:16)
I can relate to it as properly as a result of in Singapore, proper, all of the mail now we have to serve a obligatory two-year nationwide service. I imply, it was 2.5, however now it is for 2 years.
Then they slowly minimize it down similar to, you realize, what you stated on your nation.
So yeah, many classes discovered.
I believe for many of us who accomplished our time within the military after two years, all of us form of like nodding.
Sure… That was a very good expertise.
We initially, once we thought moving into is a waste of time, you realize, I am holding again my profession However if you look again, the teachings discovered are stuff that you simply will not study elsewhere.
You study how folks behave, proper?
Their true colours, you realize Your EQ, the way you work together with others of various statuses others of various personalities and backgrounds.
So it was very enlightening for me as properly so similar sentiments, proper?
As you have shared after going by means of the military.
So my subsequent query to you is that, you realize, relating to the military.
So what are among the classes that you simply discovered proper whereas going by means of that six-month journey within the military?
Aksel (13:13)
The teachings… I imply, relationships matter.
That is one thing that I’ve discovered from, it is a reproduction of company life as properly.
The choosing order ranks,
Ah.
What you need to be doing and what you should not be doing, principally, rules-based, strictness, the self-discipline.
All these had been very, very useful later in life that you simply get to see these and then you definitely transfer to company life and even in life.
You get to see that, okay, you realize, that is the pecking order.
We have now to respect that.
We can’t step forward and step over the hierarchy.
There may be that hierarchy. It needs to be there.
We have now to observe sure orders and basically, I’ve at all times been a disciplined individual.
Be it with following up on issues and waking up time and many others.
So these qualities helped me throughout my navy service. So many humorous moments associated to that.
Rayner (15:15)
You would share any humorous moments that come to thoughts?
Aksel (15:18)
I imply if you’re serving one of the crucial vital issues is we get them as a result of we used to drop to 100 folks within the base from 1000 and when it’s 100 you get to do all of the chores your self 100 folks so you can’t give it to the newcomers so it’s important to deal with it your self.
Serving was one in all them serving at totally different elements of the bottom and midday at 10 o’clock.
We used to start out 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, after which 4-7 as a result of we had been brief in numbers.
Each day they used to write down a location to be served.
You go and get your gun and go to the serving level.
The place that I used to be guarding was the ammunition depot, which was proper throughout the cafeteria, grocery store, and warehouse.
So my buddies used to move by in the midst of the evening once I was serving.
They’re additionally serving. Um, they had been a duo and I used to be, uh, alone on one aspect and, um, they used to ask me, come on, are you able to get us some tea from the within?
I used to say… No method.
Like I can’t transfer from my place as a result of if, uh, the commander and, and, uh, the commander comes, you can’t, you can’t try this.
So that they used to alter with me a spot.
One of many guys used to remain in my place.
I used to stroll with the opposite guys and open the shop and get them in the midst of the freezing winter, some tea, as they had been serving.
So, I imply, these are friendships.
You can’t break that since you dwell with them. You are sharing the area. These are the small issues that it’s important to violate.
However, um…
Yeah, good days.
Rayner (17:55)
While you talked about serving, do you imply staying on obligation, remaining at your spot to ensure nobody comes as serving?
Aksel (17:59)
Yeah
Rayner (18:01)
Okay, okay.
Only one final query earlier than we transfer on. Transfer on, proper?
In order you had been, you realize, accountable for the shop, you realize, promoting gadgets.
What are among the extra standard gadgets that, you realize, folks within the military love to purchase?
Aksel (18:13)
Uh, it was extra meals gadgets as a result of every time there’s the meals within the restaurant will not be that good.
They used to pile up for toast and tea within the winter.
So tea was one Turkish lira on the time earlier than all this inflation and so forth.
So the man that was managing the tea retailer one month, had an enormous shortfall, a considerable amount of shortfall.
After we requested, we realized that his buddies had been coming and saying, can I get one tea and he offers the tea and I’ll pay for it later.
So one Turkish lira will not be potential to gather from right here and there.
So it piles up.
100 youngsters, it is a hundred Turkish lira shortfall.
In order that’s like 10% of the inhabitants of the bottom in someday.
So should you repeat this 5 occasions a month, you’ve a shortfall of 500 Turkish lire and that is a large quantity the place the wage that the navy service was giving to the troopers on the time was 35 to 40 Turkish lira.
In order that’s 10 occasions the yr the cash that they had been paying for the month.
Yeah. OK.
Rayner (19:50)
So let’s perhaps now transfer on and speak concerning the fund administration world, as a result of from what I’ve gathered, you had been a fund supervisor again within the UAE.
So curious to listen to, what is the course of like of getting such a job again then?
Aksel (20:11)
So right here is the way it began.
It is an fascinating story as properly. After the navy service.
This navy service comes after my grasp’s diploma in Canada.
So I used to be one of many first within the household that traveled overseas and studied after which got here again, completed the navy service and after the navy service, I began on the lookout for jobs and I discovered a few jobs in Turkey.
I began in a assure financial institution, one of many greatest banks in Turkey.
Of their asset administration division, I began working, nevertheless it was a two-week journey as a result of in the meantime, I used to be receiving emails from a few buddies that they had been on the lookout for a CMT in Abu Dhabi.
The Nationwide Financial institution of Abu Dhabi was on the lookout for a CMT Constitution and on the time I began working in Assure Financial institution as an funding analyst.
In order that had lots to do with the basic analysis and I loved charts and I loved the technical aspect.
However as a begin, I used to be okay to take the funding analyst job.
In the meantime, as a result of I obtained this electronic mail from one other good friend for the third time, I stated there was one thing about this. I ought to think about it.
I did not know the place Abu Dhabi was on the time as a result of the commercial was 45 minutes from Dubai.
So once I talked to buddies, they stated Dubai is the New York of the Center East.
So I began looking, I began looking the financial institution, Nationwide Financial institution of Abu Dhabi, a semi-government-owned financial institution.
Once I began looking, I stated — This can be a good alternative, perhaps I ought to apply for it.
I utilized for it.
The reply got here as we would have liked somewhat bit extra expertise within the discipline and this was in 2007.
In 2007, I graduated from economics in Turkey in 2004, received my constitution, after which after that masters.
Once I was learning economics, I additionally did an internship at Yuppie Credit score Financial institution, which was additionally an enormous, one of many greatest banks in Turkey.
So whereas doing all these, expertise was not potential to suit someplace.
You can’t get the working expertise.
I had an internship expertise, which was virtually like working as a result of I did half-day college, and half-day financial institution for 3 years.
So that they requested me — They advised me that we had been on the lookout for extra expertise.
So I did not take no for a solution.
I wrote again as a result of I used to be very snug with my information of charting and technical evaluation.
I knew that I used to be good at it. So once I wrote again, my ex-CEO favored the reply and he favored that I challenged it and he received again to me they usually arrange an interview name and after that decision, they had been satisfied that I had the information which in all probability compensated for the expertise aspect.
I needed to excuse myself from Assure Financial institution, which they weren’t very proud of.
However the larger the administration, the extra understanding they had been.
So the CEO was extra understanding and he stated that we perceive it is a a lot better provide and fewer locations out there if issues do not go properly.
So I took the provide and I flew to Abu Dhabi.
I began as a technical analyst on the Nationwide Financial institution of Abu Dhabi.
It was 2007, and we had been gonna get hit by the subprime mortgage in a couple of months.
So going to a land.
Uh… which was essentially the most affected by subprime mortgage and the actual property crash was a extremely fascinating expertise as a result of once I went there uh… the markets had been already uh… falling from 2005 to 2007 they had been already in a downtrend.
Individuals had been uh… folks did not wish to even speak concerning the inventory market and I noticed the chance that the market is bottoming, at the very least for a brief aid rebound.
At that time, I joined the division, asset administration division as a technical analyst.
I had a few good calls as a result of the market was rebounding and good classical chart patterns had been showing.
So It was a chance for me to point out my expertise, which afterward allowed me to handle funds as a result of I had some good calls and and caught some good concepts.
In order that helped me to get the fund administration to the fund administration web site, which I used to be given in 2008.
The UAE, Nationwide Financial institution of Abu Dhabi’s UAE buying and selling fund, was the most important fund within the UAE on the time.
I believe someplace round half a billion {dollars}.
So I began managing that throughout the subprime crash and UAE will not be various, it was not a diversified financial system on the time.
Now there are extra IPOs, malls, and many others.
The leisure aspect is being IPO’d.
There was not even an airline that was IPO’d on the time.
So it was extra like banks or actual property and each had been getting hit due to the actual property collapse however banks held a lot better actual property aspect of issues fell aside so it was a tough interval to handle that in an illiquid market on the time of the crash.
That is how I began first as an analyst after which as a fund supervisor.
Rayner (28:25)
In order a fund supervisor, how do you then handle the cash?
Do you day like, hey, Axel, this is $10 million?
Develop it to $20 million, or do your finest, or no matter.
How’s the method of managing that cash?
Aksel (28:43)
So we had our funds benchmarked towards the MSCI UA index.
There was this MSCI UAE, home MSCI UAE worldwide index.
There have been two kinds of indices.
Home internationals weren’t allowed on the time to spend money on sure shares, strategic telecom firms, for instance, weren’t out there for funding.
However native native funds had been in a position to spend money on these.
So for instance, we used to have a look at the MSCI-UA Worldwide Index and MSCI-UA Home Index and we used to run it, run the funds towards this benchmark.
We had 25 to 30 names in it roughly perhaps much less even.
You do not have a large universe…
Okay and actual property for instance MR properties was near 25 to 30 % of the fund.
So it is principally taking a guess on huge names by simply underweighting the actual property sector from 35 to 40 % to twenty % was permitting you to generate alpha.
It was a guess on whether or not you are into the banking sector otherwise you’re into the actual property sector.
By making that decision on the time of the subprime crash, which began hitting the UAE market somewhat bit later than the US market.
The crash began somewhat bit later.
I used to be in a position to liquidate huge quantity of enormous quantity of actual property and on the time, the Dubai actual property received hit greater than the Abu Dhabi actual property as a result of Abu Dhabi was one step behind by way of growth.
So that they weren’t caught in the midst of the event stage.
They had been nonetheless initiating initiatives and making an attempt to meet up with Dubai.
However Dubai already constructed its man-made islands, villas, excessive rises, and marinas.
In order that market received hit first.
So the shares that had been listed on that alternate had been extra liquid as properly.
So it allowed me to scale back my publicity on these.
The fundamental thought was if you find yourself managing it towards the benchmark, you’ve someplace to carry on to it.
It is simpler than a whole clean sheet since you simply want to have a look at the relative performances towards the index and see the shares which might be underperforming.
Shares which might be beneath their long-term averages, begin with that.
You do not wish to be impartial even in these names.
So any money that you may elevate, I used to be allowed to enter MENA equities outdoors of UAE.
So we had the allowance of a 30% off index publicity.
This was giving me on the time my CIO advised me that that is extra like a satellite tv for pc method you are making use of right here.
So the the underweight positions, the money that you simply get from from these I used to be making use of with into MENA equities, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman. So I created this vast alternative set for myself and began.
Exploring breakout concepts.
In order that’s my primary start line with the breakout methods as a result of I used to be making an attempt to seize a few weeks of robust directional motion with this cache that I’ve taken out from underperforming names.
Attempting to generate extra alpha on the Directional strikes that I used to be in a position to seize in off-index names.
While you go into off index you’ve slight threat since you’re shifting away from the benchmark, however that is the one approach to outperform an index.
You can’t hug the index.
It’s important to transfer away somewhat bit.
I used to take, for instance, 4 to 5 totally different positions outdoors of the index and attempt to seize these directional strikes, which introduced me to my present technique at present.
That you just begin with a clean sheet and also you have a look at a large universe of breakout concepts.
Rayner (34:25)
This brings me to my subsequent query which is you realize why breakouts I believe from what I’ve gathered you have tried many kinds of buying and selling approaches proper?
Indicators you realize patterns and stuff like that and now I believe you talked about you realize you went with the breakout so why escape?
Aksel (34:40)
Why escape?
It is a good query.
Once I joined the Nationwide Financial institution of Abu Dhabi, my CIO was superior in charting and technical evaluation.
He had this information.
He sat with me and he stated — Axel, in these markets, these markets are momentum-driven.
So there are fewer market makers in these markets.
It is extra emotional psychology-driven strikes.
With that mindset, I went by means of the entire universe within the area and began on the lookout for these kinds of tight consolidations and the way shares are behaving and so forth and I got here to comprehend that…
Sure, you’ve increasingly more shares breaking out of a consolidation developments are extra persistent.
It isn’t, persons are not feeding off these developments, they’re piling up into these strikes.
That is how I began making use of flat-range breakouts in shares.
It was extra of a form of a course that I used to be pushed in direction of to discover these aspect of issues.
Then as I seemed increasingly more into breakouts, I got here to comprehend that by simply adjusting the time-frame, you continue to have the prospect, even in worldwide shares.
Most of these consolidations that you may play as a breakout technique.
Rayner (36:43)
So would you say that, you realize, earlier you talked about the, your CIO stated that in these markets, I believe he is referring to markets that are much less watched or perhaps markets which aren’t as standard, like perhaps shares like Tesla, Apple, and many others?
This kind of shares, they escape are usually extra actual in comparison with the extra standard shares like, you realize, Tesla, Apple, Amazon.
These kinds of breakouts, are likely to not work as properly.
Did I get that proper?
Aksel (37:07)
Yeah, I can say that.
The most well-liked names are extra crowded, clearly, however that does not imply that you simply can’t discover breakouts in these names.
It is simply they in all probability type much less steadily.
For instance, on Tesla, you would possibly discover a five-year-long consolidation breaking out, however that is a five-year-long wait.
Should you go and attempt to discover two, three-month-long consolidations, textbook-tight consolidations, it may not occur on Tesla.
Much less standard names might need these alternatives extra steadily.
However very liquid and crowded shares gives you much less frequent alternatives like that.
For that purpose, I made certain that I checked out a large universe.
I spent a whole lot of time going by means of charts.
For me, ticker would not matter.
So I do not even have a look at the ticker. I simply have a look at the chart itself, the precise aspect of the chart, and attempt to see the consolidation that I am on the lookout for.
So many individuals try to deal with too many patterns on the similar time whereas taking a look at a single identify, which is forcing them to seek out one thing.
On the chart which does not exist.
So what I am doing is that I’ve a wider universe and some choose patterns that I am making an attempt to have a look at.
So I am not restricted to a crowded commerce.
I can have a look at much less standard names and attempt to seize that directional motion as properly.
Rayner (39:26)
Okay so would you then share what are the issues that you simply search for in a chart from what I’ve gathered, issues like rectangles are one in all your favourite patterns, so perhaps you possibly can go into some particulars and share what you search for?
Aksel (39:38)
So to illustrate, initially, my fundamental motivation is to search for horizontal patterns which might be horizontal with the ability to handle the commerce with a predefined cease loss.
So for instance, a symmetrical triangle has an upward slope and, a downward-sloping higher boundary.
On the time of the breakout, you act when the inventory is breaching the higher boundary and also you place a cease loss beneath the sample boundary.
That is the logical place to place a cease loss, a protecting cease loss.
So proper after that, if the inventory begins pulling again sharply, it goes again to the boundary.
It’s beneath your cease loss, however the sample will not be violated.
In order that’s a problem with diagonal boundaries, buying and selling the diagonal boundaries. And new merchants, new analysts at all times have this tendency to start with to attract development traces and diagonal boundaries for some purpose.
Which…How can I say takes away from their couple of years of follow to deal with horizontals till you notice that the meat is definitely within the horizontal setups?
I misplaced as properly simply one to 2 years of my time taking a look at these development line breakouts and so forth.
Is the horizontal setups.
So out of the eight classical chart patterns I’ve outlined, seven of them are horizontal setups.
So for instance, ascending triangle, descending triangle, head and shoulder continuation, head and shoulder backside, head and shoulder high. Rectangle is one other one.
The cup with the deal with is one other one and the eighth one is a symmetrical triangle.
This is among the hottest.
So I solely have a look at a symmetrical triangle as a chart sample with a diagonal boundary.
However out of all these, my favourite is a rectangle due to its frequency.
So frequency is vital.
You do not wanna find yourself with 50 concepts for the entire yr.
You wish to have 100 concepts, and 200 concepts to select and select from as a result of as soon as you discover the thought, it does not imply that it is a good commerce.
It’s important to return and test barely its fundamentals, the amount sample, et cetera.
If there’s a new spending proper earlier than a monetary announcement, you do not wanna commerce that sample.
So that you desire a wider alternative to promote and Rectangle supplies that.
So…I got here to comprehend that increasingly more rectangles are showing on charts they usually find yourself being dependable.
Simply to present you some statistics over 7 years of chart sample indicators, I’ve 1526 occurrences.
654 had been rectangles.
So near half of them had been rectangles that shaped on worth charts.
Now this could possibly be a bias on my aspect as a result of the extra I notice that rectangle is succeeding or they’re dependable, the extra my eyes are on the lookout for that.
But additionally rectangles are simpler to acknowledge on the value charts as a result of they’re so clear tight consolidations on the value chart.
So out of those 654 over the previous seven years, 415 of them reached their worth goal giving successful fee of 63.5% so the general success fee for eight chart patterns is at 59.5%.
So clearly rectangle is above that common providing you with the higher hand that should you carry on specializing in rectangles, you’ll have a greater edge find worthwhile setups.
For instance, folks say, what’s the requirement to seek out the rectangle?
What are the qualities that you simply’re on the lookout for in a rectangle?
For me, a rectangle must have a minimal of two touchpoints.
So you’ve two highs to attract a line. However the third one, if it is a breakout, it is much less dependable than the fourth one when it is a breakout.
So I like a number of contact factors to a boundary.
My eye retains on on the lookout for these extra frequent assessments of a sample boundary and I believe that the extra assessments of a sample boundary, the extra legitimate that stage is.
So round that stage, many transactions occur.
So shopping for and promoting occurs.
So it is a median, it is a price space.
The extra developed it’s, the stronger the breakout that follows it.
So even with head and shoulder continuation or ascending triangle, the identical factor applies when you’ve that horizontal boundary.
I wish to see a number of assessments of it.
If potential, three, or 4 assessments, after which the fifth one is a breakout or the fourth one is a breakout reasonably than the third one is a breakout.
So with that, I’ve extra conviction to go forward with that breakout sign.
Rayner (46:14)
Okay, to illustrate now now we have perhaps three assessments and now the value is about to check it for a fourth time, proper?
So what’s the particular sample set off, no matter you wish to name it, that may let you know, okay, now it is the time to purchase?
What is the factor that you simply search for?
Aksel (46:28)
So ideally, the inventory wants to interrupt out robust.
Now there are totally different strategies to substantiate a breakout and this is among the questions that I get lots.
I really feel like lots of people are spending an excessive amount of time on this, specializing in this, than really specializing in what issues.
So what they’re specializing in is the way to keep away from the false breakout and I at all times say that there isn’t any method you possibly can keep away from a false breakout.
False breakouts are gonna happen.
Okay.
So it is a trade-off now.
The breakout takes place with an extended white candle.
That is a breakout affirmation. However then we’re late.
For instance, gold on a month-to-month scale, enormous month-to-month candle, it is a breakout, however we’re late.
Properly, should you’re taking a look at a month-to-month scale worth chart, that first month of a breakout from a five-year lock consolidation will not be gonna be over in two months.
So you might be speaking a few multi-month-long uptrend that is beginning.
It is okay to present away the primary 5% or 6% of that transfer on a bigger scale.
So supreme situation is to look and look forward to that lengthy white candle to happen.
Okay.
What concerning the day by day charts?
If we look forward to a 6% transfer, the transfer is to illustrate 15%, half of it’s gone.
Sure, I agree with that.
Then you definately want one thing else.
One thing else must be positioned within the technique.
So one technique is on the lookout for an ATR primarily based entries.
So that you outline the higher boundary, okay, and ATR is the common true vary. It’s the volatility of the inventory.
For instance 10 durations of ATR.
You’ll be able to take 10 durations of ATR and add a sure % of that ATR above the boundary and to be early, you act with a cease restrict order.
What is the trade-off?
The trade-off is that on the finish of the day, you would possibly discover the inventory not breaking out really.
So your protecting cease is beneath the sample boundary and also you’re in a inventory that did not escape robust.
However that’s the trade-off, now we have to face that trade-off.
Now that is gonna cut back your win fee, however your reward when it breaks out goes to be a lot greater than your reward if you look forward to a affirmation by the tip of the day which can compensate.
So your reward to threat goes to extend from to illustrate — Two one to 2 to at least one to 4 with that kind of early entry however your threat reward goes to enhance.
So lots of people do not wish to be flawed they usually wish to keep away from it.
So it is like a trade-off. So lots of people are moving into between this.
Look forward to affirmation, however we’re late.
Do not look forward to affirmation.
Act early, however we get false breakouts.
So the way in which to compensate is to just accept that when it really works with a 40% win fee, your reward goes to be 1 to 4 or 1 to five, which can compensate for the lack of win %.
So these are the 2 issues that individuals need to make peace with.
You both settle for a 60% win fee ready for a breakout affirmation and settle for a 1-2 or 1-2.5 or 1-1.5 or somewhat bit much less win fee however the next reward.
Rayner (51:26)
Okay, and what about that stops?
Earlier you talked about that your stops are actually beneath the sample boundary.
Am I proper to say that it is on the low of the breakout candle bar?
Aksel (51:36)
That additionally could be managed with an ATR.
So you possibly can simply arrange a % of ATR beneath the sample boundary, after which your cease restrict entry and the chance are predefined.
So you realize that forward of time earlier than you even enter the commerce.
Rayner (51:59)
Okay, simply to make clear if you speak concerning the sample boundary, so to illustrate…
We speak concerning the rectangle, would the sample boundary be referring to the resistance which is a breakout stage level, or wouldn’t it be the low of the rectangle which is the close to help?
Aksel (52:12)
No, the sample boundary can be the breakout stage on the higher aspect.
Rayner (52:14)
Okay, that is smart.
Aksel (52:15)
So we’re speaking a few lengthy commerce right here.
So that you outlined your sample boundary at 60.
So 60 is your sample boundary and then you definitely calculate your ATR and to illustrate 62 stage is the ATR that you’d act throughout the day, intraday.
So that you act on 62 after which the identical quantity of ATR you take away from the sample boundary you’ve 58.
So 62 minus 58 is your threat of $4.
Rayner (52:52)
Okay, that is smart.
Then what about targets?
I believe from what I see in your Twitter feeds, your goal is often worth projection.
For instance the rectangle is between the lows is $50, the highs is $60, and your goal is often $10.60 minus $50.
So is that often the way you go about setting your targets?
Aksel (53:08)
Yeah, that is the depth of the sample.
You’re taking it, that many of the patterns are the identical, however worth targets are pointers.
So the value can exceed the sample worth goal.
Now what I’ve
The service that I’ve began with is classical chart patterns and sample identification, one measurement would not match all.
So everyone has a distinct model.
Some folks do not use cease loss.
Some folks use cease loss.
Some folks have a look at weekly scale charts, and a few at day by day scale charts.
I counsel folks not to have a look at intraday charts as a result of it is too risky and simply manipulated.
So day by day and weekly scale, I attempt to focus, even typically on a month-to-month.
So what I’ve finished is I’ve categorized breakouts.
I stated, there are 4 kinds of breakouts.
One, kind one.
Inventory breaks out and rallies to the value goal with none pullback.
There’s a kind two breakout, inventory breaks out, pulls again to the sample boundary, after which rallies to the value goal, worth goal is met.
There’s a third kind of breakout, which breaks out, pulls again to the sample boundary, and dips beneath it.
Okay.
So now you’ve this man who
Makes use of a good cease loss beneath the sample boundary, and tries to maximise the risk-reward.
Okay.
This man must deal with the universe of kind one and sort two.
In order that’s his playground.
That is really what the result he must count on from the breakouts and once I have a look at that, the sort one and sort two over the seven-year interval, classical chart patterns that I’ve analyzed, the success fee is at 47%.
So you possibly can see that.
The success fee from 59.5 dropped to 47 %, however solely for individuals who are making use of a good cease, this can generate the sting as a result of 47 % with a one to a few threat reward is a profitable technique.
Now kind three breakouts, if you take the sort three breakouts, which I am assuming that in case you have a good cease loss beneath the sample boundary and worth dips, you are stopped out.
Okay.
These are out of the 59.5% success fee, these are the 12.5% are these. 12.5%.
Now, one factor I’ve realized is that this. Between kind one and sort two, kind one is 27% of the breakouts, kind two is 20% of the breakouts.
What does that imply?
Meaning in case you are ready for a pullback to enter, 27% of these breakouts you are lacking out.
So the conclusion is that this, breakouts.
Ought to be acted on the time of the breakout.
To have the ability to seize essentially the most rewarding ones what I’ve realized is kind one breakouts which escape with none pullback and the worth to the value goal are those that exceed the value goal.
What does that carry us to?
So should you calculate your threat reward, initially as three, one to a few, with the value goal in focus.
You notice that it is a kind one breakout.
How do you notice that it is a kind one breakout?
The inventory broke out and rallied to the value goal with out touching the value goal.
We’re very shut, like 2% away from the value goal.
At that time, you notice that you simply’re using the sort one breakout, okay?
So you have already calculated one to a few.
Why not look forward to one to 4 and one to 5?
There you seize essentially the most out of a development.
So if you notice that you simply’re using a sort one breakout, my suggestion to all my members and followers is that, wait, path it with a trailing cease as a result of that is the winner.
That is gonna generate extra on this uptrend, which can assist you to to attain higher risk-reward within the breakout sign.
So kind one, kind two.
So that is how I categorized the breakouts and this in all probability is my addition to the literature, to illustrate — as a result of if you learn Schabacher’s e book.
Schabacher mentions that one of the best breakouts happen on the time of the breakout, which tells us that we must always not look forward to the retest I discovered that from the seven years of statistics if you look forward to the retest, it is the 20%.
When you do not look forward to the retest, that is 27% of the breakouts.
Then I spotted that should you have a look at these kinds of ones, they at all times exceed the value goal as a result of it is logical.
The logic is that if a inventory is rallying to the value goal, it has momentum.
It’ll go.
It’ll simply go to, your preliminary calculation is one to a few threat rewards.
For instance…
It’ll go to at least one to 4 simply and that one to 4, actually provides to the underside line.
Rayner (59:51)
That was informative, Aksel, I recognize it.
You talked about, to illustrate kind one breakout, you’d elevate your goal additional since there’s robust momentum, you go together with a trailing cease loss.
So how would you then, you realize, path your cease loss as there are, I believe some ways to do it?
So I might like to listen to your method to it.
Aksel (59:40)
Yeah, the trailing cease is the Chandelier exit.
It is out there on-line in every single place.
So it takes the…
What I am taking a look at is the 10-period ATR, however this era could be modified, and the multiples could be modified.
So that you hold the chandelier exit, to illustrate the trailing cease, from the excessive of that transfer.
So if a inventory is making new highs, it is going to hold it from that top minus the a number of that you simply outline occasions the ATR interval.
For instance 10-period ATR you are taking. 10-period ATR means it has a glance again at 10 durations of true ranges.
They take the common and provide you with these ATR values.
So that you say…
Okay, I am gonna hold it 4 occasions the ATR, which gives you a wider cease or you possibly can say I will hold it 3 ATR or 2 ATR.
This once more, one measurement would not match all.
Individuals want to sit down down and work on it and see which they’re snug with.
How a lot of that open revenue they’re keen to present again?
How their inventory is performing relative to their ATR worth.
How a lot of spikes are there in intraday or intra-week?
On that particular inventory, if they will apply it, for instance, within the crypto area, two risky, they want in all probability 5 ATR to not get stopped out.
If they are going with a quiet, low-volatile inventory, two, 2.5 ATRs could be utilized.
To be able to alter in response to, or you possibly can say irrespective.
That is what I will use, three ATRs or 4 ATRs and I am not gonna optimize it as per inventory or instrument.
Rayner (1:01:56)
Alright and if I am not flawed, you talked about that breakouts there are differing types.
Did you say there have been 4 kinds of breakout or was it three?
Aksel (1:02:00)
Sure, 4 kinds of breakout, The fourth is a failure.
Oh, the fourth is a failure, so it is a false breakout?
Yeah, fourth breakout.
Okay, in order that one which one would not even get well like the sort 3 after retesting after dipping beneath the sample boundary.
So as soon as it falls beneath the sample boundary, it is a straightaway failure.
It simply goes all the way down to the tip of the vary.
Rayner (1:02:26)
Okay, so if that is the case, your cease loss, do you look forward to the value to form of like shut beneath your cease worth stage, or is it extra of like a contact, and then you definitely’re out of the commerce?
Aksel (1:02:33)
Cease loss must be touched.
You can’t look forward to a detailed as a result of there are every kind of antagonistic actions available in the market and you can’t look forward to a 20% down transfer on the finish of the day to exit a place.
So, stops ought to at all times be on the market in my view.
Rayner (01:02:52)
For instance assuming that you simply’re simply going to go together with a traditional breakout, you realize, you’ve your entry, your stops, and your goal, proper, which is, you realize, you are fairly decided forward of time.
For instance the commerce begins to maneuver in your favor do you then form of like you realize micromanage these trades or it is both going to be hitting your cease loss or your goal?
Aksel (01:03:18)
The statistics that I present are its chart sample worth aims as a result of like I stated if I apply 2 ATR, 3 ATR, which one is serving whom we do not know.
So I give a set of occurrences and that is how I divided them into kind one, kind two, and sort three, so folks can get a really feel of these numbers.
What I do is outline a chart sample negation stage, not a cease loss, however a chart sample negation.
For instance, with head and shoulders backside, it is the low of the precise shoulder that negates the sample, okay?
So to illustrate now we have a head and shoulder high, the precise shoulder of the pinnacle and shoulder high is the sample negation stage, which is also the extent for an extended sign for a head and shoulder failure.
So it really works completely.
So for ascending triangles, the legislation contained in the sample boundary, the minor legislation contained in the sample boundary is the chart sample negation.
For a rectangle, it is somewhat bit extra subjective as a result of it is a flat space.
So I attempt to discover a stage, a minor low contained in the sample that might act as a chart sample negation stage.
So the statistics that I’ve compiled are both shares which might be reaching the chart sample negation or they go to the sample worth goal.
That is smart.
Rayner (01:05:00)
Okay, that is smart.
I am simply pondering by means of proper, you realize if you stated that you simply’re buying and selling rectangles after which perhaps it is a kind 4 breakout the place it is a failed breakout.
I will assume that that is a chart that you’re going to in all probability not commerce for some time as a result of proper now your rectangle form of like appears a bit bizarre with a spike up and spike down or would you form of like redraw the triangle to take it into consideration that almost all latest excessive of the breakout, the false breakout?
Aksel (01:05:58)
No, I simply moved to the subsequent alternative.
So even once I was managing funds you’ve a mandate, a benchmark, so the universe is proscribed, okay, so if a inventory is within the index and it had a failed breakout you cut back publicity.
However when it completes the sample on the upside it’s important to improve publicity since you can’t.
So it’s important to, so that chance set was limiting. However for particular person concepts that you’ve a clean sheet, you’ve a whole clean sheet to work on, you do not, you are not restricted to that failed breakout.
As a result of as soon as a faker, it will likely be once more a faker sooner or later. So why not go together with a extra clear alternative?
Begin from scratch. So I began avoiding the sort 3 breakouts, and re-entry methods.
Although if you wish to seize it, I even have written about it and featured a re-entry technique as properly for individuals who are restricted to a sure universe and have to commerce that inventory, they should get in.
So a re-completion of the sample can be your re-entry technique.
These are the sort 3 breakouts, that is 12.5% of the breakouts.
Rayner (1:07:09)
So what are among the methods that you simply use to reenter such kind 3 breakouts?
Aksel (01:07:15)
Sort 3 breakouts are those who penetrate the sample boundary after which get well above the sample boundary.
So in case you have utilized the ATR, to illustrate trailing ATR stops to enter, it could possibly be the identical stage.
So the inventory breaches that sample boundary.
With the identical share transfer or ATR transfer can be your reentry stage.
Once more, you’ll place the cease beneath the sample boundary.
Rayner (1:07:47)
Acquired it.
So from what I am listening to, to illustrate…
You already know, the value breaks out, it comes again down. For instance the latest excessive is at $60.
So if the value exceeds $60 by a sure ATR margin, you may get lengthy as soon as once more as a re-entry.
Is sensible.
Acquired it.
Superior.
So perhaps now we are able to know, I believe that phase was very technical and I recognize it.
Even, I discovered a ton from that part.
However now I form of wish to transfer on perhaps to a extra macro perspective of buying and selling.
So earlier you spoke about getting into the tip of the week and finish of the day, proper?
So how do you determine, man, this chart sample, I am going to commerce it on the finish of the day, or this one will probably be an end-of-week chart sample?
Aksel (01:08:30)
How do you form of like determine on that?
It is the dimensions that you are looking at.
So should you’re taking a look at a day by day scale chart, it is vital to deal with the end-of-day worth motion.
Should you’re taking a look at a weekly scale worth chart, it is the end-of-week worth motion.
For instance, gold, two charts, I future weekly and month-to-month and that is the month and March was the primary time that it is closed strongly above the sample boundary.
However the weekly sign got here in March.
So the primary week of March, if I am not mistaken, was the weekly breakout sign.
It was a powerful weekly candle.
So should you’re wanting and buying and selling the weekly scale worth motion, you need to have acted on the finish of that week.
However from a really long-term asset allocation perspective, you possibly can simply look forward to that month-to-month shut and place your self accordingly.
Okay, so one of many issues that I used to be doing was principally specializing in the weekly scale charts once I was managing the funds.
The explanation for that’s turnover.
You can’t carry on performing on a day by day after which if it fails, exit after which enter once more.
So we had been being punished by excessive turnover.
Due diligence that was being finished by buyers was primarily asking concerning the turnover. So in case you have excessive turnover, entry and exit.
It isn’t thought-about to be good Not less than for our mandate.
It was not thought-about to be good.
So I used to attend for a weekly sign and the Weekly sign was my affirmation as I used to be ready for the weekly sign you can’t act on a Friday in The UAE it was Thursday’s finish of the week.
You can’t act on a Friday as a result of the dimensions of the fund would not mean you can enter with that measurement on the finish of the week.
So it’s important to scale in from Thursday or the day earlier than if it turns into clear that it’s a breakout.
It is method above the boundary.
So that you unfold your positioning into two days to a few days and even two days plus Monday.
So I used to be wanting on the weekly indicators to have extra conviction that it is a confirmed breakout.
That can also fail. There isn’t any assure.
However at the very least you do not get whip-sawed with day by day scale charts, not to mention intraday.
So it is the dimensions that you are looking at.
The day by day scale focuses on the tip of the day.
The weekly scale would be the finish of the week closing.
Rayner (1:11:41)
You talked about that you simply could not enter all on a Friday, is it as a result of the dimensions of your fund is simply too huge and should you entered one place on simply someday, you’d form of like transfer the market, is that why?
Aksel (1:11:49)
Yeah, yeah. I used to be, the dimensions, the dimensions was principally might lock the inventory restrict up in that day, one place measurement.
Rayner (1:12:06)
Oh, that is loopy. {Laughs}
So yeah, I do know that you simply scan many markets for alternatives from what I am seeing proper now. Crypto, Foreign exchange, commodities, and many others.
How do you go about scanning so many markets for this sort of totally different breakup alternatives?
Aksel (1:12:22)
I believe, provided that we have mentioned the navy service days, besides the navy service days, which was round six months, I do not assume there was a day that I have never opened my Metastock charting platform.
I do not assume there was a day, even once I’m sick, it is like I really feel blind if I am not taking a look at charts.
So for instance, on social media or Bloomberg, otherwise you hear, you see these charts, the information, the greenback is breaking out.
Then I’ve to open that greenback chart.
What’s breaking now?
Then I spotted that they had been speaking about an intraday worth motion.
Nothing is occurring really.
So each single day, I am in entrance of my charting platform for at the very least two hours and possibly I developed this functionality as a result of if you undergo hundreds of thousands of charts over, since 2000.
Say 24 years now in all probability hundreds of thousands of charts have piled up on this so if you undergo these charts you develop this sample recognition functionality.
I’ve seen it curiously sufficient once I go to a metropolis I move by means of a road espresso store after which I see that espresso store or that road on a TV.
I stated…We have been right here, it was this.
In order that fascinating sample recognition growth occurred in my mind in all probability over time.
Once I have a look at the chart, I instantly deal with the precise aspect and I do know what I am on the lookout for.
I do know the qualities that I am on the lookout for.
In order that helps me to scale back the time.
That I scroll by means of a chart.
Perhaps one second to 2 seconds is the time that I spend on a worth chart.
I am going by means of the record in a short time.
So to illustrate two to a few hours per day is my assessment course of.
Typically it exceeds, however I do not notice it.
So should you benefit from the course of, even when it is 4 or 5 hours, it will in all probability really feel like two hours.
Rayner (1:15:04)
That is dedication, man.
So, like, I imply, I am simply curious to listen to what’s your watchlist like.
Do you want to start out with like all of the shares that begin with capital A, then go all the way down to BCDEFG to Z?
Is that the way you undergo the person charts or shares?
Aksel (1:15:21)
The platform that I am utilizing MetaStock has turn out to be increasingly more organized over time.
I really like their platform.
So that they have a drop-down menu for every market so Nasdaq 3000 names New York Inventory Change 4000 names.
They’ve hold sang index 40 names CAC 40 names so I added all of them into a listing and divided them into Asia, Europe, America’s Center East, and Africa.
In order that’s a gaggle of shares.
Proper now, in my, for my timing, it is 11:16 in two hours, and Asia will shut.
Asia will embody Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand shares, uh, shares which might be above a market cap of $500 million.
Uh, that is my filtering.
So I will sit down and spend a very good one and a half hours, two hours to undergo these shortly.
With my timing round seven o’clock, which is after my meal time, Europe closes.
So I am going by means of Europe and the Center East, Africa shares.
Then on the finish of the day, round my time, 11:15, 11 o’clock US closes.
US is a bigger universe and I do not wish to keep too lengthy.
So what I do is I attempt to go half of the US record round 11 after which the subsequent morning I proceed once I get up principally from 6.30 6 o’clock until 8 o’clock I do my US research as properly.
In order that’s how I handle the assessment course of.
These are day by day, daily I do that and on the finish of the week, on weekends, I do the identical for weekly scale charts.
No finish of the month.
I am not doing that.
For weeklies, I am doing the weekly as properly.
Rayner (1:17:48)
So simply like every day is like 1000’s of charts every day. Every day you are simply going by means of.
Aksel (1:17:49)
Yeah.
Rayner (1:17:50)
So if such as you take two seconds for a chart, you undergo a thousand charts, you realize, it is like you are able to do the mathematics, proper?
How a lot time do you spend?
Yeah.
It is not going to be two seconds since you take time to go from one chart to some perhaps some delay from the platform and stuff like that.
Wow. Wow.
All I can say is wow {Laughs}
Okay so my subsequent query was about to ask, what’s your tackle buying and selling pullback?
I believe you talked about that earlier, should you look forward to a pullback you are going to miss the transfer 27% of the time particularly if it is a kind 1 breakout.
So I believe I am going to skip that query until you’ve one thing so as to add about that.
Do you’ve something so as to add about you realize?
Aksel (1:18:20)
Yeah, I believe pullbacks if it is a part of your technique okay it’s important to know that at the very least from my statistics being a retest and rallying.
So that is your universe and should you’re in a position to handle the risk-reward as a result of it is gonna provide you with a greater entry, proper?
When you’ve a pullback.
It is also tough to time the place the place the pullback is gonna cease.
Typically the pullback is brief.
Typically it involves the sample boundary.
In order that ready or that not getting stuffed and that commerce is, uh, it is filled with regrets.
I want I put it right here.
I want I put my entry right here.
So the place do you precisely put that entry?
So ready for that pullback, I felt, I really feel prefer it’s a whole lot of regrets.
The regrets are painful.
You do not wish to have regrets.
You wish to flow execute that technique and settle for the end result.
Rayner (1:19:37)
Since you realize, you have a look at 1000’s of charts every day, I am fairly certain multiple buying and selling alternative would possibly come up.
Perhaps they’re each like, you realize, rectangle patterns.
So how do you then determine which commerce you wish to take?
Aksel (1:19:50)
It is the rectangles primarily after which there the record drops down as a result of the chance is what information occasion is pending.
I wish to see breakouts that happen with none information impact.
So to illustrate the inventory has an incomes announcement within the subsequent two, or three days and the inventory is breaking out.
I might reasonably skip that as a result of there will probably be a whole lot of volatility information bulletins hitting the market.
I wish to go together with these breakouts that don’t have any occasions round them.
So both company actions or information bulletins, so the record drops down.
In order that’s how I filter and primarily deal with the rectangles.
For shorter-term buying and selling, one of the best are from two months to 4 to 5 months consolidations.
For the long term, I wish to take the weekly indicators on weekly charts, that are year-long to 2 years lengthy.
These are the longer-term patterns in that you may have wider stops and let go, giving room for that concept to develop.
However for a shorter time period, you even have this filtering that comes from two months to 4 to 5 months breakouts.
The tighter the vary, the higher it’s.
The worth of that vary must be ideally 10 to fifteen % of the value.
When these alternatives come up these are the upper conviction setups.
Rayner (1:22:12)
So if you stated the vary must be 10 to fifteen % of the value, let’s form of like make issues easy.
For instance the inventory worth is at $100, so the vary must be wherever between $85 to $100.
Aksel (1:22:21)
Precisely.
Rayner (1:22:24)
That form of vary, proper? Precisely.
As a result of something white, then the vary will get ridiculously giant.
Yeah. Okay.
Is sensible.
Okay.
What’s your tackle the idea of relative power?
Is that this one thing that you simply take note of?
Aksel (1:22:34)
Relative power, sure, I take note of.
I take note of and with my work with among the funds for which I do consultancy, I additionally assist them with relative efficiency charts.
Relative efficiency charts are precious and Curiously sufficient chart patents type on them as properly, however you should not exaggerate the Number of the charts.
It is once more rectangles and a few brief flag consolidations that you may act on or else looking for unique chart patterns on relative efficiency is somewhat bit overstretched.
So what I used to do is on the time of administration of the funds, I had the denominator because the index, MSCI UAE index.
So all shares relative to the benchmark I needed to undergo to see which shares are outperforming the benchmark, and which shares are underperforming.
So you can’t go towards the tide.
It is the larger image.
So to illustrate proper now you have a look at Nasdaq versus Russell, Nasdaq is outperforming.
So the tech shares are the place the motion is occurring.
So it is perhaps higher should you’re a top-down man, you’d be wanting on the tech shares versus the Russell names.
So relative efficiency is vital and it may be utilized in several methods as properly I get pleasure from taking a look at them as a result of they’re pure worth charts.
It is just like the Euro versus the greenback, Microsoft versus Tesla. It is the identical thought.
The identical patterns can type the way in which an FX chart is forming.
Rayner (1:24:41)
Would you then like to make use of that and think about that as a part of your buying and selling?
For instance, you discover form of explicit commodities A and B proper?
They’re each commodities.
Perhaps A Commodity A, the relative power is stronger in comparison with commodity B and perhaps commodity B has a possible rectangle breakout occurring as properly and perhaps for commodity A, the breakout has already occurred.
So would you think about shopping for the breakout on commodity B, understanding that by way of relative power, it is not as robust in comparison with commodity A?
Does that make sense?
Aksel (1:25:14)
Yeah, if I used to be making use of a distinct technique, I might have.
However at this level, it’s too time-consuming to include totally different instruments and inputs into my decision-making.
As a result of I am a pure momentum-based breakout technique man.
So for me in a gaggle, to illustrate, I am taking a look at European banks these days, the European banks are the good transfer.
For instance I spot 10 totally different European banks, okay?
For me, a very powerful sign is the primary sign.
The one which breaks out first, would be the strongest.
So I am going with that.
I do not wait simply because HSBC has higher fundamentals.
I do not look forward to HSBC to interrupt out when ING is breaking out or Unicredit is breaking out.
The breakout sign issues essentially the most for me and once I’m taking a look at these European banks, simply doing relative efficiency between every one in all them is tremendous time-consuming, however it may be finished.
I’ve finished it prior to now.
I am nonetheless serving to some funds with the consultancy to have a look at relative efficiency and I can say that it is an vital element that you may consider to seize longer-term or barely longer-term actions between shares, which one to favor.
Rayner (1:27:05)
However for your self, as a result of to maintain issues easy, you simply merely go alongside the primary breakout and simply preserve issues easy as it’s.
Aksel (1:27:11)
Yeah.
Rayner (1:27:12)
So I believe one other factor that from what I’ve gathered is that you simply love buying and selling rectangles and likewise you have a look at the 200 interval shifting common to form of outline the long-term development.
So worth is above the 200 MA, the development is up, and you purchase the rectangle, that is good. So what about… So am I proper then to say that…
The inventory market often is extra in a long-term uptrend, it is extra bullish than bearish.
So most of your trades, I suppose, are extra lengthy than brief.
Aksel (1:27:41)
Yeah, yeah.
Lengthy concepts are in all probability 80% of all of the indicators up to now.
We had two totally different years, 2018 and 2020 throughout COVID, when markets tanked and when there was a V reversal, I failed badly.
Okay, I’m not in a position to seize V reversals as a result of I am not a backside picker.
I wish to see shares rebound, type some form of a base, after which begin a brand new development.
So at that half, I am misplaced.
What I do is I attempt to instantly have a look at different alternatives that may give me the upside when the markets are having a V reversal.
So principally…
The 200-day shifting common, the 200-day shifting common could be very useful in figuring out these.
So in 2018 and 2020, the MSCI All Nation World Index, which is the benchmark that I am taking a look at offers me the general perspective for world equities as a result of I am additionally taking a look at rising market shares.
Typically there are some frontier equities that I future.
So the MSAL Nation World Index, with its 200-day shifting common, when it falls beneath the 200-day common, and the market crashes or collapses, you begin seeing bearish chart patterns.
I used to be in a position to seize perhaps 10 to fifteen% of the concepts as bearish setups.
However principally it has been bullish setups and I can say 80% had been lengthy concepts from the classical chart patterns.
However that does not imply that if inventory markets enter right into a bear market and keep in a bear market subsequent 5 to 6 years, we’re not going to see bearish chart patterns.
Quite the opposite, there will probably be bearish chart patterns growing.
You simply want a longtime development to see increasingly more on the finish of the day usually are not magic, usually are not voodoo, or they’re consolidation durations, okay?
So when shares consolidate, they type a type of patterns.
It is both a rectangle or ascending triangle or head and shoulder continuation they usually all inform the identical factor.
After this consolidation, a development would possibly develop and your job is to seize that development to have the ability to seize that development, you first have to determine the consolidation.
If you do not know what the stage of the market is, you will be unable to outline the development interval or the next development interval.
So chart sample helps us to determine that consolidation interval.
It is simply giving it a reputation.
Rayner (1:31:09)
So I will backtrack somewhat bit right here and perhaps speak about consolidation rectangles.
So I wish to understand how do you draw these boundaries.
As a result of not at all times the chart, the value will simply the precise sense, rebound.
Typically it would exceed, and typically it may not even contact that stage.
So how do you then join the dots?
How do you draw that horizontal line in your chart?
What’s your method?
Aksel (1:31:30)
It is somewhat bit tougher than a science.
I am making use of the best-fit precept and making an attempt to the touch as many factors as potential on the value chart and get shut as a lot as potential to that minor excessive or minor low.
In order that’s how I am drawing the boundaries.
Rayner (1:31:58)
Am I proper to say that there will probably be occasions when if the boundary is not as wanted to write down the phrase want as you such as you simply ignore it and transfer on to the subsequent…
Aksel (1:32:08)
Ignore ignore sure ignore and transfer.
Rayner (1:32:09)
Okay
Aksel (1:32:09)
I am not certain with uh with that particular alternative that is the that is the great half about uh having a large universe and a clean sheet.
Rayner (1:32:23)
Yeah, that is the benefit of taking a look at 1000’s of charts every day. {Laughs}
Aksel (1:32:24)
Yeah, you possibly can you possibly can have a look at one other alternative that has the proper boundary and act on that.
Rayner (1:32:33)
Okay, and perhaps to the touch on threat administration, how do you then handle your threat?
I believe earlier you talked about setting stops and targets, however perhaps by way of share dangers or perhaps having a portfolio of 10, or 20 shares, is there like a restrict, a cap to what number of shares or positions you will be in at anyone cut-off date?
Aksel (1:32:50)
Properly, with the short-term technique that I am making use of for my very own, a most of 5 to 6 with 1% of AUM in danger.
This does not imply six of them keep open.
A few of them attain worth targets, a few of them get triggered and it’s important to get out.
However principally no more than six open concepts at a time, which places you round 4 to five% worth in danger.
At any cut-off date.
Rayner (1:33:36)
So if the worst factor occurs, simply increase, proper?
5% max loss, that is it.
Aksel (1:33:40)
Typically not precisely as a result of some shares open with a niche down, but in addition there are gap-up openings as properly.
So low or giant numbers deal with it over the long-term that dangerous issues can occur, however good issues can occur as properly on the upside the place you have not measured.
That’s gifted to you want the way in which a niche down occurs nevertheless it nets out with a whole bunch of concepts.
Rayner (1:34:18)
Primarily based in your perhaps expertise or information that you’ve, do you discover that within the shares that you simply maintain, the hole up, happens extra usually than the hole down?
Because you’re buying and selling the course of the development?
Aksel (1:34:28)
I believe expertise over 4 or 5 years, I might say equal quantity of occasions I’ve skilled.
I’ve skilled some good surprises on the upside and a few nasty surprises on the draw back as properly.
Rayner (1:34:53)
When the market is open, so I am guessing your stops, you then would put the stops along with your brokerage or is it extra of a psychological cease as soon as the goal is reached?
No, no, it is at all times on the market.
The stops need to be at all times available on the market.
Okay, received it.
Perhaps simply to maneuver on and speak somewhat bit about crypto, proper, since you do share fairly a couple of crypto charts.
What’s your take?
The crypto markets perhaps basically?
Aksel (1:35:18)
Crypto markets are fascinating.
So many tickers on the market.
Rayner (1:35:29)
Sure.
Aksel (1:35:29)
It is like shares that go on IPO and corporations finally, go bankrupt, they usually get delisted.
I’ve so many tickers that received delisted within the crypto area.
So, It is one other instrument of hypothesis.
That is what I am seeing.
Some are gonna survive and turn out to be a de-think, which is gonna be a part of the next-gen, in all probability foreign money or the monetary medium that we get entangled in.
However most of them are going to be simply the periphery hypothesis instrument.
That is how I am seeing it.
However what crypto created is simple entry for the final crowd to at least one, open an account.
Opening an account is tremendous simple, proper?
With the digicam recognition, you are in a position to open an account deposit cash, and commerce cryptos.
The second is that it allowed the group to get entangled in monetary devices and have the opportunity of earning profits or shedding cash.
Immediately you can’t even open a checking account in that brief interval, which is a way more established establishment or a brokerage account.
It’s important to undergo so many due diligence and checks and so forth.
So its easy accessibility helps it unfold extensively and quick as properly.
Once I share a crypto chart It will get 10-15 occasions extra likes in social media than a inventory chart and a inventory chart will not be a easy inventory chart.
It is typically Tesla, however a FET US greenback crypto chart is getting 300 likes versus a Tesla with 100 likes.
The involvement in crypto is very large.
That is what I am seeing proper now.
Rayner (1:38:09)
As a result of crypto is kind of a brand new market in comparison with established markets just like the S&P, and Nasdaq.
So do you discover that perhaps breakouts in these markets are usually extra dependable in that sense?
Aksel (1:38:20)
Sure, it is momentum-driven, much less fundamentals.
It jogs my memory of my early days within the UAE, the place firms weren’t publishing monetary statements each quarter.
You used to attend, there have been delays, and so forth.
So even the basic fund managers needed to depend on technical indicators to handle sure positions.
So basic data was restricted.
So it was principally momentum-driven and psychology-driven.
Within the crypto market, I am seeing it comparable.
Besides in all probability Bitcoin or ETH which has a narrative.
Yeah.
So principally it’s, it is momentum pushed.
I am seeing, and the share strikes additionally present that per day.
Rayner (1:39:27)
I used to be simply pondering too, so earlier you talked about your short-term buying and selling, at most you maintain I believe six positions, however I forgot to ask, what about your long-term buying and selling or investments?
How do you then handle your threat in that side?
Aksel (1:39:38)
Lengthy-term I wish to go together with extra illiquid belongings.
I am diversifying my belongings into gold, actual property, and a bigger portfolio of passive income-generating belongings.
So the buying and selling aspect will not be an enormous half, however simply sufficient to generate some return, and different elements are extra tied to passive income-generating belongings. I’ve had some success over the previous couple of years in actual property.
It is in all probability fascinating {that a} inventory dealer or anyone who has managed funds that have not held the belongings bodily is on the lookout for extra bodily belongings to steadiness his portfolio.
So I just like the bodily side of issues.
To see the actual property, to see its presence.
Rayner (1:41:08)
Let’s speak about actual property then, proper?
So is it like actual property, the place do you make investments?
Is it areas of your experience abroad, native, and many others?
Aksel (1:41:17)
Actual property is the place the place I dwell principally.
I by no means have a look at actual property as an funding, however extra like would I wanna dwell on this place?
That is my preliminary motivation.
I’ve realized that over the previous six, or seven years, the actual property that I received concerned in Bulgaria, Japanese European market, some in Greece as properly, which is a closed market, each have been in resorts.
So very a lot tied to the financial system and the financial system is booming.
Should you have a look at the shares of Airbnb, reserving.com, journey firms, and leisure firms, their shares are booming.
So the financial system is booming.
There may be inflation and people belongings have tripled and worth over the previous 4 to 5 years from the time that I received concerned.
Keep in mind they are not big-ticket purchases so I’ve realized that smaller models are extra in demand as a result of at present’s household buildings have 4 or five-bedroom locations versus they’re proud of a small household, two-bedroom, one-bedroom models, and homes.
So these belongings have picked up extra, I really feel like in worth versus giant properties.
That is my expertise on this area.
Rayner (1:43:36)
So from what I am listening to, you realize, you’d wish to purchase actual property locations that you simply wish to dwell in and ideally form of just like the smaller measurement models, proper?
Due to the household construction.
Aksel (1:43:45)
Yeah. I wish to see, I wish to really feel the market as a result of I do not, I do not wish to go and spend money on Hong Kong proper now.
Okay. Actual property, which I do not know about.
What I am seeing, I am snug with.
I wish to breathe that market’s momentum.
I wish to see the infrastructure enhancements and the developments which might be happening in that place.
You go on trip, you go see the enhancements and you’ve got a sense of the place.
So these are the locations that I really feel snug inserting my investments.
Rayner (1:44:28)
Is it an analogous philosophy as breakout buying and selling?
You wish to see momentum occurring round that place earlier than you form of like…
Aksel (1:44:34)
Seems to be like, yeah.
Kind of. Okay.
You wish to see the affirmation.
You wish to see…
Rayner (1:44:43)
So you are not a lot of an individual of like, to illustrate…
“Oh, there is a monetary disaster, you realize, actual property costs are low, let’s go in and purchase some stuff”
You are not form of worth investing per se, however extra of like, you realize, whereas issues are doing properly, let’s get in at this, you realize, worth when issues are wanting good.
Aksel (1:44:56)
Uh, yeah kind of but in addition let’s be truthful as a result of uh, I received fortunate with uh with a few of my uh Investments right here in Bulgaria uh I I noticed the chance, and uh, this in all probability is due to the locations that I have been to that I lived somewhere else.
I’ve seen that there’s a chance that persons are not seeing it.
Uh, and, uh, it ended up being the underside.
Hmm. Um, in order that no one needed to the touch proper earlier than COVID and COVID even, uh, made issues extra thrilling as a result of, uh, the place that I am proper now could be away from cities.
So folks rushed out of cities to the suburbs and other people began valuing life outdoors of cities, which gave them extra freedom.
The house workplace idea additionally helped to push the costs of suburban dwelling.
Rayner (1:46:26)
So now that costs are like, you realize, larger in comparison with the place you obtain them, do you’ve plans to exit these long-term trades or is it form of like proceed holding?
Aksel (1:46:35)
I believe proceed holding as a result of they’re producing passive revenue and it is at all times good to have passive income-generating belongings in your holdings.
They pay the payments and preserve you snug whilst you’re buying and selling.
In order that’s it.
Proper now I haven’t got plans to promote costs are actually low in Bulgaria, particularly on this a part of the nation.
I do not understand how issues had been in Singapore or Asia, however for instance, in Dubai, we’re speaking about costs of $2,500 to $3,000 per sq. meter.
We had been at 300 euro per sq. meter right here and now costs have picked as much as 1100 euro per sq. meter and there’s in all probability potential of it going to 1500, 1600 euro per sq. meter.
It could possibly simply go there as a result of folks begin valuing high quality of life otherwise.
As companies, because the idea of companies change, changing into increasingly more on-line, schooling is changing into increasingly more on-line persons are not tied to cities anymore.
So they need the contemporary air, they need the leisure actions.
So I really feel like increasingly more outdoors of cities are gonna profit from this.
Change of developments in AI and the way we work.
How we work and the way we examine.
Rayner (1:48:48)
A really comparable phenomenon has occurred in Singapore as properly.
I believe COVID, we thought housing property costs would drop, however such as you stated… extra folks make money working from home, distant working.
Costs right here really soared to fairly excessive now.
So I believe we talked about per sq. ft, you realize, non-public properties about $1,000 per sq. ft.
I am unsure what the conversion to a sq. meter, however a typical property right here, a thousand sq. ft home you possibly can count on to pay from you realize between 4 hundred thousand to 1,000,000 {dollars} and this public housing will not be even non-public.
Non-public you are taking a look at seven figures and past over right here so it is fairly loopy over right here yeah.
Aksel (1:49:27)
Yeah I imply throughout an inflationary time that is an asset that is holding its worth and growing its worth so it is it is by default that okay there’s the greenback’s internal worth of the paper currencies are taking place, so the belongings are holding its worth.
Rayner (1:49:55)
So is that the identical purpose why you obtain gold, you talked about gold as properly.
Aksel (1:50:50)
Sure, sure.
These are the identical causes that I needed to enter laborious belongings due to the worth of the shedding worth of the currencies.
Rayner (1:50:19)
Yeah, the declining buying energy.
Aksel (1:50:20)
Declining buying energy.
Yeah.
Particularly I noticed the chart of- What you had been shopping for, you are not in a position to fill your basket in a retailer with what you had been paying two years in the past.
No method.
Rayner (1:50:36)
I believe you posted the chart of the greenback towards the Turkish lira a couple of occasions.
It’s loopy.
That is- That is ridiculous.
Aksel (1:50:39)
Unlucky, very unlucky.
Rayner (1:50:40)
What about Bitcoin, I am curious since Bitcoin is form of like a digital aim in that sense.
Is that this one thing that you simply maintain as properly?
Aksel (1:50:51)
Cryptocurrencies are an fascinating discipline.
It has its rules.
So with the actually regulated devices, I wish to get entangled, which is being out there now increasingly more.
So so long as it’s regulated, given the nations that we’re dwelling in in every single place have their rules and limitations, nonetheless the institutional system will not be tremendous snug with the instrument itself.
They are going to turn out to be extra snug with regulatory leeways and allowances in several nations, I suppose.
Rayner (1:51:51)
I perceive.
Now let’s transfer on to the closing part, we could?
I might like to listen to perhaps extra about TechCharts, which is the academic firm that you simply based.
Aksel (1:51:01)
Yeah, so TechCharts began in 2016 as an academic service.
So what I’ve taught is that I’ve developed this capacity to have a look at charts cleanly and I spotted that so many people who find themselves beginning in technical evaluation and charting have the opportunity of shedding a few years the way in which I did.
Shifting from one idea to a different, hoping of counting on a distinct technique, taking a look at issues otherwise, and determining.
So I stated — I can simply assist folks to shortcut at the very least two to a few years of their journey and begin with a clear perspective of what’s working most of the time.
That was my preliminary motivation as a result of I labored with so many basic guys and I consider that over time that I labored with them, I’ve modified their perspective in direction of classical charting and charting itself.
So a basic colleague of mine would sit in entrance of a Bloomberg display with all of the codes, and tickers, after which he would have a day by day chart open on a portfolio that he is managing and rebalancing each quarter.
So I used to say, why are you wanting on the day by day chart?
You ought to be taking a look at a weekly chart for this inventory, what it’s doing and I defined to them the development durations and the consolidations, essentially the most primary sense.
I spotted that there’s a lot of awakening occurring there.
I believe with this service, I helped many individuals to have that awakening and to maneuver quicker to the subsequent stage of their journey the place they will begin making use of the chance administration and psychology of issues and study buying and selling by making use of it, by doing it.
As a result of I’ve a perception that you simply can’t train buying and selling.
You’ll be able to educate a health care provider, you possibly can educate an engineer, however that individual must exit and expertise it themselves.
An excellent well-known physician and an peculiar physician, the distinction is that it is the similar as an excellent dealer and an peculiar dealer.
There’ll at all times be this distinction. You, even the Turtle merchants got the principles and the way to apply them, however each one in all them ended up totally different.
So it is that second a part of that journey that they will begin specializing in by accelerating this trial and error within the charting half that I wish to assist.
I believe it has been useful for many individuals.
In the meantime Uh, let’s not neglect I am cooking meals and I am serving it so the concepts that I am producing.
There could be 20-25 concepts and I would make the most of 5 of them however 15 of them are going to go to the rubbish or profit among the members.
So I made a decision that I might put out these concepts that I’ve discovered as a part of the membership service.
So there’s the academic half and the applying half, the signaling a part of the service that has been useful to many who haven’t got the time to undergo these charts daily to place that two hours additional time or three hours additional time.
So I believe it has been a win-win.
It retains me extra centered and disciplined once I write issues once I compile issues collectively, I keep extra centered. It helps me to arrange myself.
It helps the members additionally to get one thing in return the place first they shorten their time of analysis, second, they shorten their time of journey in studying charts and changing into extra able to taking a look at issues.
Entered by By giving them these academic movies academic facets of issues or how issues labored prior to now and the way issues can transfer sooner or later lots of people assume that with the event of the monetary markets Classical charting stopped working.
However once I put a chart from the Forties Edwards and McGee and put a chart from the crypto market at present, it is surprising to see that.
They observe the identical sample in completely totally different markets for nearly 60 years, 70 years, or perhaps a century-long chart having the identical sample as at present.
In order that’s like awakening for lots of people.
It makes them extra interested by researching the sphere, which I believe I have been in a position to obtain up to now.
Rayner (1:58:14)
Would you say then since breakouts are likely to work higher in lesser standard names, much less liquid markets, so chart patterns or classical chart patterns basically, would you discover higher alternatives within the extra obscure markets, in comparison with these that are very, that lots of people take note of.
So I suppose for a brand new dealer who perhaps desires to discover a higher likelihood of success, deal with these obscure markets reasonably than the highly regarded ones.
I would not say that as a result of like I stated, for instance, on Microsoft, you may not discover that good rectangle forming each different month or in a yr, thrice or 4 occasions in a yr.
However as soon as in a yr, you would possibly discover it in a really crowded inventory like that.
However in much less centered names you would possibly discover that arrange extra steadily.
That is what I can say as a result of I’ve seen very liquid names having good chart patterns.
This does not imply they do not type in any respect however they’re much less frequent to return throughout.
They’re in all probability extra just like the sample boundaries could possibly be extra violated than a much less crowded inventory.
Rayner (1:59:35)
Okay, so simply to make clear, if you speak about frequency, perhaps to illustrate — A highly regarded inventory, perhaps over 5 years, that tradable sample would possibly occur one time, whereas not so standard inventory over 5 years that tradable sample would possibly seem perhaps 5 or 6 occasions.
Is that what you imply by the frequency?
Aksel (1:59:51)
Precisely.
Yeah.
Rayner (1:59:52)
Acquired it.
Okay.
Aksel (1:59:53)
However then you possibly can go and take that Microsoft after which take that Tesla, take that ExxonMobil, take the opposite identify, after which improve these patterns forming.
So you continue to have that choice.
That is why I at all times advise you to widen your analysis universe.
Do not have a look at simply Fb.
Do not have a look at only a Tesla identify.
Take a look at a wider universe.
Go somewhat bit extra outdoors of the standard names to have the ability to discover extra of those setups.
Rayner (2:00:31)
That is smart.
Additionally, I believe in your web site, I noticed that there’s this sort of like a tagline that claims that…In affiliation with the issue buying and selling, which is, you realize, from Peter Brandt.
In order that’s form of just like the association or the hyperlink down there?
Aksel (2:00:47)
So the hyperlink is that Peter has been a mentor. In 2011, I learn his Diary of a Skilled Commodity Dealer.
Mainly, in 2007, I began making use of the classical charting ideas to the UAE markets after which I began seeing the success then in 2011 I began studying Peter’s e book and who has been making use of it to the commodity markets and all of it clicked.
We interacted after which I joined his dealer’s boot camp in 2014
We began pondering of doing this greater library of classical chart patterns collectively.
So all this information that goes into this database that I am creating about classical chart patterns will hopefully turn out to be a part of an even bigger factor sooner or later and a part of a go-to supply in classical charting.
So principally in 2016 once we launched this TechCharts membership service, our motivation was to deal with equities and attempt to gather as many information factors as potential that we are able to examine sooner or later and even apply totally different threat administration to it to see what can come out of it.
So that is our affiliation with him, engaged on this collectively and making it a a lot bigger classical chart sample library.
Rayner (2:02:47)
Okay, received it.
Is there something proper that you simply want to add or speak about that we did not cowl in at present’s session?
Aksel (2:02:57)
Concerning the chart patterns, I wish to talk about them as a result of we have touched on rectangles.
Our brains have the potential of discovering out restricted patterns in a single shot.
Should you pressure your self on to illustrate one inventory to seek out eight or ten totally different chart patterns, you may be mistaken, you may be misled, and discover issues that do not exist.
So I wish to shut this podcast session by giving a fast tip for people who find themselves beginning their journey to restrict the variety of patterns that they are on the lookout for and improve the variety of devices.
So to illustrate they deal with two to a few patterns.
For instance a rectangle or cup with a deal with.
This cup with a deal with is the most well-liked these days due to the volatility contraction sample that has been mentioned in several books.
So to illustrate you have a look at a rectangle and cup with a deal with, however have a look at a thousand names.
That cup with deal with even restrict.
The interval that you simply’re on the lookout for, like to illustrate 4 to 5 months of cup faux.
Sure, the alternatives will probably be restricted, however you’ll discover, that your eye will begin on the lookout for that sample always, and it is possible for you to to seek out the patterns which might be legitimate on the value chart.
Fairly than opening one chart and making an attempt to focus and say…
Is there a symmetrical triangle?
Is there a wedge right here?
Is there a development line right here?
Is there a head and shoulder?
The record goes on and it turns into complicated and one of the best really, what I discovered is to restrict the patterns as a result of we can’t course of that a lot data at one look.
Rayner (2:05:22)
This type of jogs my memory of a… I am unsure what is the actual time period nevertheless it’s one thing alongside the traces of the reticular activation system the place your mind begins to get very acquainted with the sample that you’re seeing after which it form of triggers every time such patterns seem.
It is form of like muscle, it’s important to preserve coaching it to develop that system, yeah?
Which is what you have finished over time, proper?
Hundreds of expenses keep every day and now everytime you see a sample, you realize, that is it, proper?
If not, you progress on to one thing else.
Aksel (2:05:47)
Yeah, I even counsel folks print out the patterns that they’ve traded efficiently.
That could be a textbook rectangle, textbook head, and shoulder, and print it and put up it on their desktop and control that.
Control that to see if what they’re taking a look at resembles the identical sample.
Be it the interval, be it the depth.
Quickly, synthetic intelligence software program will be capable of seize these.
I am 100% certain that we’re moving into that course.
However till that occurs, we’re nonetheless alone on this strategy of discovering the patterns that we wish to commerce and act on them.
Rayner (2:06:38)
Superior and the place can merchants discover you, proper?
In the event that they wish to join with you.
Aksel (2:06:43)
I am on Twitter, TechCharts, on-line I am on TechCharts.internet and YouTube movies are additionally out there with the TechCharts extension.
So in the event that they go to my Twitter profile or X profile TechCharts, they may be capable of see the hyperlinks for YouTube and my web site as properly.
Rayner (2:07:13)
I extremely advocate proper, merchants accomplish that as a result of your Twitter feed has one of many cleanest proper classical chart sample feeds that I’ve come throughout.
So you realize, merchants ought to test your Twitter feed or X feed out.
Sure.
So thanks a lot on your time, Aksel.
I recognize it.
It has been a incredible session, proper?
Talking with you.
Aksel (2:07:30)
Thanks, Rayner.
Identical right here.
I recognize having me in your present.
