The Company

Financial Trend Analysis (FTA) is an independent company offering analyses and courses to finance professionals based on a unique mix of technical analysis and behavioural finance.

The company was founded by Klaus Ikast and Kim Cramer Larsson in March 2009 and is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Our vision: We at FTA believe markets are driven by psychology - not by macroeconomics and fundamentals. We firmly subscribe to the view that spotting trends and market exhaustions are the key elements to achieving our goal:

To deliver competitive and genuine alpha.

When determining our strategies we focus the most on stop strategies and support and resistance levels.

FTA offers financial market analysis based on a unique mix of Technical Analysis and Behavioural Finance.
Every trading day we publish short-term technical trading strategies and intra-day support and resistance levels on more than 30 FX crosses, Fixed Income, Yields, Commodities, Stock Indices and Futures.

FTA also publishes regular 1-page “Technical Outlook” notes containing our longer-term views and in-depth analysis of specific securities. Technical Outlook notes can be tailored to your required time horizon.
