Senior Analyst Jeffrey Kennedy is a busy man. Along with his regular duties at Elliott Wave International, he prepares 3-5 video lessons each week that teach technical traders how to anticipate — and act on — trading opportunities.

Subscribers say that what sets Jeffrey’s educational service apart is his unique ability to combine easy-to-understand, actionable advice along with a no-nonsense, uncensored look at trading psychology.

Of course, Elliott Wave Junctures is full of useful charts and technical tips. Yet some of Jeffrey’s most priceless content is his straightforward discussion of the problems that most traders face — but few experts talk about.

When I asked Jeffrey about one such lesson that resonated with his subscribers (we call it his “Patience and Persistence” episode), here’s what he said:

I think that hit home because it was honest — someone is finally talking about the elephant in the room.

Patience. Because of modern society, everything is “instant
gratification.” Mobile communication, fast food, you name it.
Whenever you’re counting waves, there’s a tendency to
rush the wave count. It’s something that you’ll always have
to be on guard against.
That’s why I insist on confirming
price action. When the pattern is indeed done, it will tell
you it’s done. When you’re not patient, you tend to
want to pick tops and bottoms.

Persistence: Just because things don’t unfold exactly
the way you want doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
If you
ask for a raise, and you only get 60% of what you asked for,
that’s not a failure. What’s important is the movement; the
general trend; your overall assessment of motive wave vs. corrective
wave.

Being able to top-tick or bottom-tick the market is ego trading, and it’ll cost you.

In my mind, there’s nothing in the world that’s worth
anything that doesn’t take a little bit of patience and persistence
to achieve.
A relationship, an education or career,
a healthy body: how do you get these things? You keep working
at it; you keep showing up every day.
