Elliott Wave International presents Part II of the interview with its Senior Currency Strategist Jim Martens. -- Vadim Pokhlebkin: I've seen online ads that say, "Trading forex is easy." Do you think it's easy? -- Jim Martens: Well, I’d go back to the question you asked me in Part I of this interview. Easy? No. Easi-er than equities? Yes. In forex, there are fewer markets, so fewer choices and less news to be concerned with -- so, fewer surprises. We just want to find the one currency that looks the strongest against others and one that looks the weakest. Found them -- now pair them together. Sounds easy, but keep in mind that...

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 November 26, 2009, the U.S. dollar did "the impossible": It stopped falling, reversed, and staged a strong rally -- to the complete surprise of the mainstream financial world. At the time, making a bullish call on the USD was all but laughable, to most investors -- yet EWI's Senior Currency Strategist Jim Martens did it anyway. Watch this free video clip to find out why.

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.

In this classic 5-minute video, the editor of Elliott Wave International's Currency Specialty Service Jim Martens tells you about so-called flat corrections -- a common Elliott wave pattern that sometimes comes "with a twist," as Jim explains using charts of the U.S. Dollar Index and the GBP/USD (cable).

What moves currency markets? "The news" is how most forex traders would undoubtedly answer. Economic, political, you name it -- events around the world are almost universally believed to shape trends in currencies. Today's (Jan. 14) new story, for example, is high up on the roster of events that supposedly have a major impact on the euro-dollar exchange rate. But let's take a closer look at it.

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.

There’s one wave in the Elliott wave sequence that you as a forex trader don't want to miss: the third wave. We've recently witnessed a real-life third wave in the U.S. Dollar Index, which measures the strength of the dollar against a basket of six foreign currencies -- take a look at this chart.

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...

News stories move the markets -- that's what just about every investor believes. But can you predict what the market will do before the news is released? Let's look at a fresh example: the actio in the EUR/USD on November 4, when the Federal Reserve Bank announced its latest decision on the U.S. interest rates.

Large banks and more recently pension funds have suddenly become infatuated with gold. They chant the mantras that gold bugs have known for years: gold is a store of value; owning gold is financial insurance; an ounce of gold will always buy a good suit. The idea is that if the economy continues to weaken and share prices decline, a strategic allocation of the precious metal will hedge and offset some of the losses in the financial sector.

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?

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.

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.
