About

I am Matthew Hagemann, an analyst working at a multi-national bank and I trade my personal account on the sidelines since 2007. After having been mentored for a full year, I now withdraw consistent profits from the stock market.

In my bachelor thesis I wrote about “The Psychology of Financial Markets: A Study on Nonrational Trading by Market Participants” in which I analyzed the many faults in human behavior often leading to distorted trading decisions and poor investment returns. With my understanding, I help traders reach consistency in their performance and understand themselves better.

My approach is to primarily observe the S&P 500 in a few relevant frames, then place a trade once I observe a visible break of a trend line or support & resistance area. My perfect trades are those which exploit trends lasting days to weeks. A pretty simple concept, really.

Trend following describes my trading style best, because I have strict risk management in place and keep adjusting the stop-loss higher or lower as the trend evolves.
