Commodities: "Simple" Elliott Does The Trick
Even basic Elliott wave analysis can put you miles ahead of other traders. Today's focus: lean hog futures

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
9/14/2011 3:30:00 PM

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, I don't think I'm alone in saying that whatever the problem, I prefer simple solutions. Now, you use Elliott wave analysis on commodities every day, and I've seen you make it both simple and complex. Which approach do you think is more effective? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: It depends. When the chart picture is not easy to recognize as any specific Elliott wave pattern, it forces you to "make it complicated" by using additional technical analysis tools. But let's look at a very recent example...

You may already know that the basic Elliott wave structure looks like this: five-wave impulses followed by three-wave corrections.

Fibonacci: From A Buzzword To Real-Life Application
From the proportions of our DNA strand to our galaxy, the Fibonacci ratio defines the natural progression of growth and decay.

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
12/2/2008 6:00:00 PM

Technical analysts, in recent years, have elevated “Fibonacci” to the level of a buzzword. Despite this unfortunate fact, in skilled hands, Fibonacci ratios can prove extremely handy when you're calculating a market retracement or price target. The most popular of these ratios are the .618 and 1.618. But here's a new twist on the old Fibonacci technique -- "Reverse Fibonacci"...

The biggest problem with fundamental analysis is its uncanny ability to point out trends that have long since been in place. Basically, it’s the equivalent of yelling “SURPRISE!” to the birthday man/woman of honor hours after he/she has already shown up to the surprise party. See what we mean with regard to the recent action in Orange Juice...

There have been a lot of rumors in the financial media that Feeder Cattle prices will continue falling as the price of corn, the main ingredient in cattle feed, continues to rise. While there is some validity to this argument, from an Elliott wave point of view, Corn and Feeders have different wave patterns.

Futures: Five Steps Forward…
Markets rarely move in straight line. Here's an Elliott wave take on how they do it.

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
3/24/2008 4:45:00 PM

Markets don't move in straight line or at a steady speed. Prices travel quick and far in waves 1, 3 and 3 (especially wave 3) and it takes prices a long time to travel even a short distance in corrective waves 2 and 4.

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.
