Further to our topic dedicated to successful women traders we would like to present the story of Cynthia Kase.

Cynthia Kase got acquainted with trading in August 1983 when she had to undergo a training program in the trading department of the company she was working in. It happened the same year when a contract for crude oil became available. Cynthia persuaded the company to install a compute in the trading room. Cynthia was experienced in computer technologies due to her technical education.

The first and the most important thing about trading realized by Cynthia was that in order to succeed on the market on should act separately from the crowd. Cynthia said several times: “You cannot listen to everybody. I think it is important to be focused, have enough sleep, stay calm and everything will fall into place. It is wrong to always be worried.”

At the moment Kase considers herself an absolutely technical trader, despite the fact that she has been a technical trader since 1985. Further Cynthia Kase starts to develop her own technical indicators that she offers to her clients. At present she is trading for herself and consulting about thirty corporate clients. Kase has developed and indicator – PeakOscilltor – that can use cross-comparison of markets and Dev-Stop – a technology of setting stop orders in accordance with market volatility. Kase has published three articles in Futures Magazine, where she described the technical indicators in details.

Since the first day on the market Kase has not employed intraday trading. Her average deal lasts for 3-10 days. Cynthia Kase prefers energy markets, at the same time she highlights that her technical indicators are suitable for all markets. She also favours physical futures over financial ones, since futures depend on unconditioned and political factors.

Besides, Cynthia Kase says that “There are three most important things. First, you should not listen to someone else’s advice. Second, there is no easy way. You cannot find the Holy Grail. Diligent work and persistence make a successful trader. And third, this should bring pleasure.”
