From skeptical beginnings to recognizing the power of technical analysis, Trent Klarenbach, Grain Market Analyst with Klarenbach Research, shares the highs and lows of his journey in trading and investing. 💼📈
Every producer holding grain has a reason the price should come back. Trent Klarenbach's position is that the reason is the problem.
He grew up between two neighbours who shaped Prairie grain marketing, studied agricultural economics, farmed, and then came to technical analysis sideways in his fifties when his son introduced him to it. He now writes market reports built on price action rather than news.
What's Inside
- The two neighbours he grew up beside, one who brought a new crop to Western Canada in a car trunk and one who took the wheat board to the Supreme Court
- Why he thought charts were nonsense, and what changed his mind
- The idea that technical analysis is really the study of human behaviour, and why the same patterns appear in lentils, canola and equities decades apart
- The four stages every market moves through, explained with a drive west as the map
- Where he called the start of a major grain uptrend, and where he called its end
- Why producers carry a structural bullish bias, and what it costs when a market turns
- Anchoring: the trap of remembering what durum once was, and why the market does not care
- What to actually do in a decline, including the discipline most producers find hardest
