Stock quotes, stock charts, stock tips, earnings reports, newspapers, investment newsletters, market gurus, fundamental analysis, technical analysis... with so many sources of stock market information - how do you pick the 'right' time to buy (or sell) a stock? If you need a simpler approach to stock market analysis and stock trading... Stock Trends WILL help you.

Stocktrends Publications is committed to delivering simple but effective equity market analysis to investors. Publishing weekly since 1993, our Stock Trends indicators empower investors by providing a results-driven methodology for trading. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter reports on the North American stock market in a unique way. This weekly publication helps investors quickly locate trends, simplifying the process of understanding the market action.

If you are not content with having your equity capital managed by others - and paying handsomely for it - and do not have the time or inclination for more active day trading, this is the place for you. If you would like to take charge of your own trading by following a simple system of trend analysis, Stock Trends will help you make trading profits and long-term returns on invested capital.

The Stock Trends Handbook addresses the subject of basic technical stock analysis in a practical, easy-to-read style. The Handbook discusses the origins of Stock Trends and how to use Stock Trends symbols and indicators in your everyday investment analysis and trading decisions. It also contains chapters devoted to a detailed description of the Stock Trends statistical trading models and introduces the Stock Trends model portfolios, our automated trading strategies.

Stock Trends Handbook
A guide to stock analysis using Stock Trends

It’s not good enough to be anecdotal or doctrinaire when it comes to trading. Systematic traders understand that without the integrity of data science, they are simply ticker-tape cowboys. This is the reason I set out to create Stock Trends in 1992. The core mission of this service is to provide a methodology that allows investors to harness the power of the algorithm. The Stock Trends indicators are features of market data that can be learned from -  either by individual investors applying their own methodology or by machine learning algorithms that create models for predicting future outcomes. That is where my focus is now - delivering predictive models from the Stock Trends data. These models will help investors navigate all markets.

I have had the good fortune to be involved in developing computer systems for a wide variety of businesses, including investment brokerage and portfolio management, which led to my ultimate involvement with Skot and Stock Trends in 1995. Being a pragmatist, the ‘KISS’ attributes of the Stock Trends methodology were not lost on me, and I am proud to be associated with the continuing development of this highly successful and valuable product.

  • Holiday Tape in Consumer Discretionary: What 46 Seasons Reveal Through Stock Trends Indicators
    Holiday Tape in Consumer Discretionary: What 46 Seasons Reveal Through Stock Trends Indicators For Consumer Discretionary companies, the six weeks surrounding Black Friday and year-end are not just a retail storyline—they are a real-time referendum on consumer confidence, pricing power, and risk appetite. To test what this period actually means for investors, we analyzed the Stock Trends Consumer Discretionary universe across every year in the dataset, using a consistent six-week window (from the third week of November to the final trading week of December, based on weekly Friday closes). The objective was simple: does the Stock Trends framework—trend classifications, RSI relative strength, and volume tags—extract a repeatable signal from the holiday season? The answer is nuanced, but actionable.

  • Understanding Our Assumptions — A Decade Later
    Understanding Our Assumptions — A Decade Later For decades, the Stock Trends framework has rested on a foundational analytical question: Can we infer future return tendencies from recurring patterns of trend, momentum, and trading activity? In 2014, we formalized this question through the Stock Trends Inference Model (ST-IM), built on two basic premises: Market conditions are non-specific to a particular security. Market responses to these conditions are specific. Those ideas remain central to Stock Trends today. But the investing world has changed. Academic research into momentum, trend-following, and behavioural finance has deepened; markets have experienced extreme macro cycles; and our own analytical tools have evolved dramatically. A decade later, it is time to revisit the original assumptions, test them against modern evidence, and expand their meaning for today’s Stock Trends users.

  • Trading Nvidia with the Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis Model
    Trading Nvidia with the Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis Model Nvidia’s extraordinary rise in recent years has made it a centrepiece of both long-term institutional portfolios and short-term trading desks. Yet few tools provide a disciplined, data-driven lens for navigating NVDA’s volatile weekly momentum. The Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis model model is one of them—an evidence-based framework that converts historical price–benchmark relationships into probabilistic expectations of next-week performance. When applied to NVDA-Q, it becomes a powerful guide for traders seeking tactical entries, binary-style short-term trades, or precision timing for longer-term positions.

  • Silver’s Ascent and the Discipline of Stock Trends: How Trend Indicators and ST-IM Guidance Shape Today’s Opportunities
    Silver’s Ascent and the Discipline of Stock Trends: How Trend Indicators and ST-IM Guidance Shape Today’s Opportunities Silver’s remarkable advance into the final weeks of 2025 has not merely lifted the metal itself—it has broadened across miners, royalty companies, bullion funds, and leveraged silver proxies in a way rarely seen in the past decade. Investors watching this sector cannot help but ask whether the trend still offers opportunity or whether this is a moment that calls for caution. The Stock Trends framework provides the clarity required to navigate this environment with discipline rather than emotion.
