On-Demand Video Lesson
Where to Start Your Wave Count:
A, B, C… It’s as Easy as 1, 2, 3
Beginner Level | 1 hr 6 mins
This video lesson gives you a clear, practical starting point for identifying Elliott wave patterns and building confident wave counts in real markets.
Learning how to count waves on a price chart?
Let’s get you started the right way.
Counting Elliott waves can be confusing if you don’t know where to begin — especially in real time on real charts. In this on-demand lesson, veteran instructor Jim Martens walks you through a practical process for finding the market’s wave count starting point so you can focus on structure, not guesswork.
You’ll learn how to identify recognizable patterns on a chart, distinguish between impulsive and corrective phases, and build your count from the higher timeframe down as well as from the inside out — starting at a lower wave degree and moving up.
This lesson is designed to equip you with a repeatable approach for beginning any Elliott wave count with clarity and discipline — a skill that saves time and sharpens your analysis every time you look at a chart.

Jim Martens, Chief Commodity Analyst & Trader’s Classrom Instructor
Jim’s study of R.N. Elliott’s work began in the mid-1980s, leading to a position with Sabin Commodities in New York. In 1993, he joined Elliott Wave International, where he soon became editor of the Currency & Commodities Forecast. In 2000, he accepted a Chief Technical Analyst role at the George Soros-affiliated hedge fund Nexus Capital, before returning to Elliott Wave International in 2004. Today, he serves as Elliott Wave International’s Chief Commodity Analyst and is also a Trader’s Classroom instructor.

A Message From Jim:
Hello and Welcome!
Most people look at a price chart and see … nothing.
Maybe some noise, some moves, but nothing actionable.
In just 1 hour, I will show you how to dig up the information you NEED from a chart, and fast.
Over my 35 years in the business, I have taught Elliott waves at dozens of seminars around the world. It’s always great to work with traders who are looking to improve. Labeling waves is second nature to me now, but I remember well how I struggled in the early days to see what the experienced Elliott wave guys were seeing.
And I also remember well the sheer joy I felt when I finally got it!
In my on-demand course “Where to Start Your Wave Count,” I’ll have you well on your way to counting waves with accuracy and confidence.
Our learning topics include:
- “Do I see a wave pattern I recognize?”
- How to build your Elliott wave count from higher timeframe to the lower one.
- How to build your wave count from the inside out – start at a low wave degree and move up.
So you’ll be able to build an objective and high-confidence trading plan.
You’ll learn by watching REAL-market charts. No “hypotheticals.”
Ready? Let’s get started!
Sincerely,
Jim Martens
Elliott Wave International
