Presenting Kusama

By -

I have clearly had great success in recent days with my alt-coin crypto picks. Let me lay another one on you: Kusama, symbol $KSM. What I like in particularly about this creature is the volume. Notice how the dish-shape of the price action aligns well with the dish-shape of the volume. That’s just what I like to see.

By the way, because CryptoStream has become remarkably feature-rich, I have brought the portcullis down around it, and it is now a members-only feature.

As of now, everyone still has access to the crypto charts with whatever amount of historical back data their account level permits.

  1. SlopeAlerts compatibility with cryptocurrencies (including chart-based alerts);
  2. Computation of risk (both $ and %) within CryptoStream.

Crypto Transformed

By -

On Saturday morning, I woke up after a refreshing night’s sleep with my beautiful wife sleeping next to me. Since I had nothing to attend to, I did what any red-blood American would have done at that moment: I thought about how to judge the relative strength of various cryptocurrency positions.

After exploring the technical studies and having no luck, it dawned on me to use a feature I had almost forgotten about: Transformations! So I created a new Transformer which divided any given symbol by the granddaddy of them all, Bitcoin.
