Very Important!
Currency trends page now includes analysis on cryptocurrencies , the most capitalized and traded .That doesn’t imply an advice to trade cryptos , a very dangerous practice for your capital ; the only objective is to demonstrate that strategies based on markets’ actors behavior , in some periods can widely overperform particularly on those asset that are bought and sold on an emotional base , and this is the case of cryptocurrencies , whose value depends on ideas and previsions , having not a role as a national currency , nor backed by a material or safe background , or relying on a country’s economy ; and recent news about exchanges where these assets are traded show a lack of regulation in the matter , too .
Markets mood indicator
Indicators range from 0 to 100 .Overall from 0 to 50 indicates a negative mood , above 50 up to 100 a positive one . When Overall is very low (<25%) the odds of risky markets rebound are conversely high ; on the opposite side, an Overall reading above 75% likely shows risky markets’ overbought situation .

Strategies’ base and scale
All strategies described on this site are based on proprietary algorithms , organized in spreadsheets and coded in VBA , with macro routines ; they can be easily converted in other languages (Python, R etc. ) . Every strategy has its relevant page , where points of intervention (buy and sell) are showed , to check how they work and when they act . For example , Equity Alpha Strategy page lists , at each week start , which stocks are selected to pursue strategy objectives . Futures page exhibits , for each day , assets to buy or shorten at following day’s open price (performances are obtained selling the asset at same day closing ) . Long-Short strategy page shows what assets are selected on a weekly base , with relevant stop-loss prices , or prices to enter a long position . EMAs strategy page , on a daily base , points out levels where opening or closing positions ; and so on . All that said , allowing everyone to check strategies’ performances in a clear and seamless way . Would you like to share strategies’ targets and/or to know how could they work for you ?
