Dear Colleagues,
Is this the big change?
Our life has changed,
there is no doubt about it.
As the pandemic seems
to be winding down rightnow, we still live in a state of fear and caution. We are not only facing health issues
but also life issues.
The war in Ukraine is still ongoing, and itchanges the way we see globalization:
Europe is trying to substitute energy supply
from Russia, while Russia and China movecloser together. The United States is filling
the gaps in energy supply, together with the
Arab countries. Also, not to forget, long forgotten high inflation numbers accompanied
by a shortage of supply affects our daily life,
no matter where we live.
Amid all this dramatic change, we as technical analysts try to find an answer to what
the present is like and what the future will
be. And by doing this, we can provide someguidelines and orientation for investors andalso help people to understand the impactof this change a bit more.
So, let us be the rational guide to the world,
pointing out the probabilities of a scenario
and encouraging people to prepare for both
possible outcomes—the more likely one andthe other.
IFTA is getting back to normal! I am happy
to announce that the IFTA 2022 Annual
Conference will take place in Melbourne,
Australia. The IFTA family will be happy
to reunite again from 7–9 October 2022,
and I am looking forward to meeting you
all personally.

All the best,

Wieland Arlt

The conference will also be live streamed globally, and we expect the audience to be up toan additional 3000 participants. This format was trialled during the pandemic years and wasa huge success, garnering a very dedicated and engaged group of attendees. We expect
the same this time around.

maker in their enterprise.
Morning and afternoon breaks are taken in the exhibition space, where you will have directaccess to delegates. Exhibitor lunchtime sales presentations are also available to be held indedicated breakout rooms with AV available, during extended lunch breaks. These will beheavily promoted during the conference, and delegates encouraged to attend.

Don’t Get Caught Inside
When You Can Be
Hanging Five
OK, so truth be told, we had a fairly heated discussion at Elliott
Wave International over the direction of this ad. Do we gostraight serious, like just about every other ad? Or do we show
our playful side, in the hope that you won’t just skip past it likeall those other ads?
Because on the one hand, the Certified Elliott Wave Analyst(CEWA) designation is dead serious. The CEWA program is
the standard for Elliott wave analysts. But at the same time, theWave Principle is gnarly, dude – why surf the chop with the
kooks when you could be rippin' the best waves with the locals.
And so, in an exclusive arrangement with our buds at IFTA,
EWI now offers the Certified Elliott Wave Analyst (CEWA)
designation for the coolest dudes: Elliott wave pros, analysts
and traders.
Your CEWA designation lets everyone know that you're alegend in the practical application of the Elliott Wave Principle,
one of the most recognized forms of technical analysis. With
CEWA you can finally paddle out away from the crowds andfind some open water where you can shoot the curl.
Show your CEWA designation to potential employers andprospective clients, so they know YOU know where the bombs-- and the grey fins -- lurk.

Get Started. Visit www.elliottwave.com/wave/GetCertified“Is it just me, or has Wilson gained someconfidence since he became a CEWA?”IFTAUPDATE 2022 Volume 29 Issue 2
