Elliott Wave International presents Part I of the interview with its Senior Currency Strategist, Jim Martens. Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jim, readers often tell us that they want to make money trading the markets. There are lots of options out there. Can you tell me why I'd want to look at forex and not, say, the more "traditional" stock trading? -- Jim Martens: First, currency markets are much larger than equity markets...

Currency traders: How often have you woken up, read the news, put on a trade -- only to see it go the “other way”? A recent example was the debt problem in Greece. Trading off of that was like trying to catch a greased pig.

On January 27, the EUR/USD (exchange rate between the euro and U.S. dollar and the most widely trade forex pair) slipped below $1.40 for the first time in six months. In other words, the dollar, considered by most analysts all but doomed a short while ago, now stands at a 6-month high against its main competitor. Ironic? Paradoxical? You bet. Here's more on that from Robert Prechter.

Wave structure is the very basis of Elliott wave analysis. To an Elliottician, every seemingly "random" wiggle on a market chart fits into an Elliott wave pattern. The 13 known patterns are divided into two broad groups: impulsive and corrective. Simple enough, right? Now let's look at the recent action in the EUR/USD, the most widely-traded forex pair, as an example of how you can put this information to practical use in currencies.

My mother lives in Moscow. I call her often, and every once in a while the conversation turns to the economy -- specifically, the strength of the U.S. dollar. Usually this happens when the dollar gets weaker. Then our conversation goes something like this...

The Fed's chairman Bernanke said on Monday they were watching currencies markets to "help ensure that the dollar is strong"; the ECB's Trichet said that Bernanke's statement was "very important." Apparently, forex traders interpreted both comments as bullish for the dollar... but if you've been watching the EUR/USD's Elliott wave patterns, you didn't have to wait for the morning news to tell you that. See this chart...

Early on October 26, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro (and the most widely-traded forex pair) began an out-of-the-blue slide from near $1.50. If the dollar's dramatic show of strength in the midst of all the doomsday scenarios surprised you, you're not alone. Anyone looking at the Monday morning forex headlines was likely caught off guard. What's behind the dollar rally?

As the recession has taken hold, short-term U.S. interest rates have been pushed down to .25% or lower. This encourages those who want to borrow to do so in U.S. dollars, which is exactly how the low Japanese interest rates of the past boom cycle encouraged borrowing in yen. But markets can move fast when they head down, and when a carry trade unwinds, few things move faster.

Trading the EUR/USD has not been easy lately. The exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar (the most widely-traded currency pair) hasn't made much net progress, but it's made up for that in spades by choppy, volatile, sideways-moving market action. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, right? Before you say yes, read these thoughts...

Unless you're a financial professional with a keen interest in international bond markets, you probably didn't even notice an obscure news item from Germany last week. Yet it may speak volumes about the coming trend change in the U.S. dollar.

"Fundamental" indicators change with the wind because they apply only to what has already happened. It's easy to "explain" past market action -- try predicting it instead. With Elliott wave analysis, you can. As this chart shows, there is a potentially major opportunity developing in the U.S. dollar right now...

Last fall, stocks around the world were falling like a rock, but the U.S. dollar, to most people's surprise, was rallying against the euro -- on fear, said market commentators. Do you remember what happened next? That's right -- the dollar fell hard: Ironically, a sentiment extreme in favor of the dollar marked a huge top. This free classic video explains why...

On Monday, August 3, the U.S. dollar packed about as much heat as the Abominable Snowman. Ipso facto: the greenback plunged to a new low for 2009 against its European counterpart, the euro. As for what caused the sharp and sudden drop in the dollar's value -- the mainstream experts pointed their collective finger at one piece of data...

If you've been frustrated lately by the lack of action in the euro-dollar exchange rate (EUR/USD) you're not alone. Since early June the pair has gone nowhere, but that's only the half of it: It has also swung wildly in the 500-pip range between $1.43 and 1.37, as this chart shows...

Financial markets develop as a series of patterns. If you're like most investors and believe that markets are random -- or, at best, moved by "good" or "bad" news -- you will often find Elliott-based forecasts in conflict with your "macro" views.

What creates trends in all liquid, freely-traded markets? That depends on whom you ask. To a conventional market analyst, the answer is news stories and events -- political, economic, you name it. The Elliott Wave Principle, on the other hand, teaches that trends are shaped by the collective mood of the market participants. This quick example may help you decide who's right.

The U.S. dollar, beaten badly since late April, took the upper hand on June 5 and broke below a psychologically important price point of $1.40 against its main competitor, the euro. But whatever you read in the financial press regarding the "reasons" for the dollar strength, they all pale in comparison with this one: market sentiment. take a look at this chart to understand why.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
