Frans de Klerk

Frans de Klerk publishes a daily newsletter called Candle of the Day from Tuesday to Friday, designed for short and medium term investors trading stocks or CFDs. The subscription also includes a Saturday newsletter tailored to medium- and long-term investors. Frans’s passion for the markets began at a young age when he sold newspapers on street corners. One regular customer would always request the paper early to check the stock prices, which inspired Frans to start plotting them by hand, as graphing software wasn’t available at the time.

Frans stands out for his unique approach to technical analysis, having translated the technical jargon into beautiful, descriptive Afrikaans terms. For example, a tweezer top is called “haarnaaldboog hoogte,” and a harami pattern is referred to as a “maagopstopper kers.” With over 30 years of experience, Frans’s enthusiasm for the markets is contagious, making him an invaluable source of knowledge for anyone eager to learn.
