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...

Lately, the financial media has followed around the commodities sector like paparazzi pursues celebrities, tweeting: "OMG! Sugar soars to 30-year high," and "Grain Prices Busted: Corn caught with other crop supply!" In fact, paparazzis do have something in common with the mainstream financial observers: They also focus on the "external" factors. Elliott wave analysis, on the other hand, doesn't look at the externals.

Over the past few weeks, several of the biggest "supernovas" in the commodity universe have turned into falling meteors. To wit: From their respective February peaks, the alleged "grain king," wheat, has plunged 12% while the food forerunner, sugar, has soured to a near two-month low. Here's your chance to find an answer to the question, "Is this reversal just a brief detour on the way to higher highs?"

On October 31, Bloomberg.com reported that, "Commodities had the biggest monthly drop since at least 1956..." last month. The CRB index, which includes 19 commodities, fell 23% in October, with "Crude oil…set for a record monthly drop, copper its biggest retreat in two decades and gold its worst performance in 25 years." Does it get better from here? For some answers, we turn to Jeffrey Kennedy, editor of Elliott Wave International's Futures Junctures Service.

Diagonal Triangles typically form in a fifth wave position of an impulse. The Elliott Wave Principle* book says they appear when the market has gone "too far, too fast." The key thing to remember about them is that they are ending patterns. Because they signal the end of the larger trend, they often ignite volatile moves that quickly retrace the entire preceding wave pattern. This is the Diagonal Triangle I see forming in Soybean Meal right now, on a 45-minute chart...

It’s just my opinion, but the popular “take” on why futures markets do what they do sounds less and less like the wise and steady Owl AND more like the chicken with its head cut off. Harsh? Well, you be the judge. The following May 14 news stories on Soybean Meal say more than enough...

Soybean Meal: You Don't Want To Miss Next Wave
How do you know WHERE a wave 2 correction may end and give way to wave 3, the most powerful wave?

By applying this rule of Elliott in your trading, you always know the exact price point where your "wave two" is no longer a wave two. Which means that you always know the exact price point where to place your stop-loss – a cornerstone of proper risk management.
