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"...

Coffee, Soybeans: Two Lessons With a Message
Commodity bubble may have burst, but opportunities are still here.

Once again, I sit down to talk with Jeffrey Kennedy, Elliott Wave International's Senior Commodity Analyst and editor of our Futures Junctures Service. -- Jeffrey, the ongoing credit contraction – a.k.a. liquidity crisis – has not spared commodities. Just glancing at the long-term charts you show in the Wave Watch section of your October Monthly Futures Junctures, I see that prices of markets like coffee, corn, wheat or soybeans that were flying high just months ago, are down hard – and I mean, hard! -- Jeffrey Kennedy: Yes, while some commodities have suffered less, corn prices, for example, got cut in half since June...

European Stocks: The Dance Of The Fearful
Bear markets can destroy very quickly what took years to build.

by Vadim Pokhlebkin

Bear markets can destroy very quickly what took years to build. They are fast because they are driven by fear, and fear is stronger than greed, the bull market catalyst. This is what Tom Denham, Elliott Wave International Senior European Equity Analyst, says about this cycle in the opening paragraph of his current, October European Financial Forecast...

by Jim Martens - Senior Currency Strategist

Whenever I talk about how to use the Elliott Wave Principle in forex trading, I always spend the majority of the time talking about the price patterns R.N. Elliott provided us with over seventy years ago.  Those patterns are the heart and soul of the Wave Principle.  But more and more I'm asked prematurely about Fibonacci relationships. Here are some thoughts on that...

Elliott Wave: Narrow Down Your Options
Weigh all the probabilities and eliminate the weakest ones – until the strongest one emerges.

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
8/6/2008 9:00:00 PM

Fact: you never know for sure what kind of Elliott wave structure you're dealing with until it's complete. That's a sobering fact for many Elliott wave beginners. They often expect to count perfect five and three-wave structures in charts all the way down to milliseconds. But you just can't. For one, it has to do with the limitations of your data feed. But even if your data were perfect, some ambiguity with real-time wave counts would still remain. Here's how you handle that...

VIDEO: Learn To Set Price Targets With Fibonacci
"I really think the wave principle is the most useful technique in FX trading."

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
5/14/2008 6:30:00 PM

In the video you are about to see, Elliott Wave International's Senior Currency Strategist uses a chart of the euro-Swiss frank currency pair. In mid-March, the EUR/CHF stopped falling and staged a powerful rally. This video was recorded on March 6, several days before the rally began. So, not only is this a great lesson on using Fibonacci ratios to set price targets – it's a great forecast, too. Just watch.

6 Ways Elliott Wave Helps You Trade Better
Learning Elliott wave analysis may be a challenge, but it's well worth it.

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
5/2/2008 1:00:00 PM
Recently, we wrote that while it's easy to follow professional wave counts in market charts, doing them on your own – especially in real time, while you're trading – can be a challenge. Yet learning Elliott is well worth it. Why? For the answer, let's turn to someone who has 12+ years of experience in Elliott wave analysis and trading.

Soybeans: Staying Ahead
An example of how technical analysis can keep you aware of the trend long before the mainstream.

by Nico Isaac
4/3/2008 5:00:00 PM

One of the main contentions we have with mainstream financial analysis is its tendency to show up late for a market’s trend. Take, for example, the April 2 news stories regarding the steep drop in Soybean prices to a four-month low.

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

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.

Coffee Futures: Opportunity Heats Up
Elliott Wave International describes inconsistencies between the recent supply stories about Coffee and its subsequent price action.

by Nico Isaac
3/13/2008 5:45:00 PM

Rule number ONE of conventional economics states: Commodity prices are driven by changes in supply and demand. When it comes to the real world, however, financial markets DO NOT always play by said rule. Take, for instance, the March 13 news items regarding the number of Coffee plants expected to reach fruition.

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.
