Pring entered the financial markets in 1969. He is considered to be a leader in the field of technical analysis amongst the global investment community.

Martin Pring is the creator of Known Sure Thing (KST), a momentum indicator. KST is the summed rate of change that combines several time spans into one indicator. It is used to determine trade signals and confirm trends.

Over the past three decades, Pring’s research has led to the development of reliable financial and economic indicators for timely and effective forecasting.

His personal Barometers for the Bond, Stock, and Commodity Markets have identified major turning points since the 1950’s on a timely basis, thereby outperforming the buy/hold approach by a significant margin.

INVESTMENT STYLE

Pring applies technical analysis in his decision making and he trades with stop losses at a strategic price level.

The guiding light of investment contrarianism is not that the majority view-the conventional, or received, wisdom-is always wrong. Rather, it’s that majority opinion tends to solidify into a dogma while its basic premises begin to lose their original validity and so become progressively more mispriced in the marketplace – Martin Pring
