Stephan Bank
Stephan Bank serves as the editorial manager for the Trendfollowing magazine.
To sharpen the focus on long-term opportunities, he also contributes to the "Tenbagger column." He studied business administration/economics and was able to achieve his first trading profits with the stock of SolarWorld over 15 years ago. Economic developments and stock market activities are his greatest passion. Since everything is interconnected, he also keeps an eye on other asset classes alongside the stock market.
For him, the search for the most exciting companies is like piecing together many puzzle pieces from the large pool of information. One puzzle piece is the approach of technical analysis. Therefore, he has been a certified technical analyst (CFTe) since 2017.
For his long-term investments, he applies his knowledge from fundamental analysis and portfolio management, which was part of his academic work. He also examined the complete value chain of asset management and the insights from behavioral finance. These are particularly important for his trading, as cognitive biases come into play significantly here. From his perspective, trading is one of the best ways to develop personally. We cannot eliminate emotions, but we can recognize and categorize them. Self-observation is one of the greatest levers in trading. He primarily follows a trend-following approach with breakout strategies and also relies on his knowledge of options trading. Because, in the long run, the market tends to rise. Rebound trading occurs only very selectively.
His two most important factors for success in the stock market: Humility before the market and sharpening one's own intuition.
