Can I copy your trades and make money?
No! This is not a signal service. I don’t provide live signals that you can copy. Instead I provide knowledge and over time you are able to trade by yourself. My goal is to make you independent!

I want to invest long-term, is it the right content for that?
No! My approach is active trading. You need to observe the markets every day and do research at the weekend. You cut losing trades actively and manage your winning trades. That has nothing to do with buy-and-hold or long-term investing.

Do I need already knowledge about trading and stocks?
Yes! You should have a few years of stock market and trading experience. The content is easy to understand, but it requires that you already have basic knowledge about stocks and trading. If you have further questions, I like to answer them.

Can I apply the service to international stocks?
I only trade US equities because they are very liquid, there are low brokerage fees and you have access to a lot of information. I never tested the rules and approach with international stocks. So you have to do your own tests and see if they are applicable to stocks in other countries.

Can I contact you for help or further questions?
Yes. You always have the possibility to ask questions and discuss about the content in the community. I really like to help you and make you an independent trader.

Do you trade cryptos, forex or commodities?
Sometimes. I trade mostly stocks which are related to the crypto business or commodity stocks. Sometimes I trade ETFs or trusts which owns crypto or commodity stocks. But I rarely trade cryptos, currencies or commodities directly. My approach always includes fundamentals and story research. That’s not given if you trade currencies or commodities.

Do you swing or day trade?
No! If you want to classify my style, I am a position trader. I hold winning trades for weeks or months and losers for days. I rarely take profits with profit targets and let the profits run instead. I am not a short-term trader (hours to days) and not interested to do that. It’s not the style which fits to my personality.

Do I need special (paid) trading software?
I can recommend several free and paid trading software. The most can be used in the free, non-paid versions. For more experienced traders I recommend paid software from Investor Business Daily, because they offer the access to proprietary ratings and fundamental data. I have no relationship to the companies and get no compensation from them!

Is it possible to do part-time trading?
Yes. I do not spend more than 1-2 hours per day with my trading routine and more time at the weekend. I provide my watchlist and analysis to you which will save you a lot of time. So it’s easy to do part-time trading for you.
