Technical Analysis in Grain Marketing

Technical analysis reads the price itself, including its trend, momentum and past turning points, and Klarenbach reports use it to set dated price targets and sell signals.

This page is for farmers and traders in Saskatchewan, Alberta and the US Midwest who want to know what a chart-based signal is and isn't, and no prior knowledge is needed.

Trent Klarenbach has spent 11 years applying technical analysis to Prairie grain marketing, and the chart gives a disciplined plan, not a call on every top.

Who this is for

Farmers and traders in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the US Midwest who want to know what a chart-based signal is and isn't. You don't need prior technical analysis knowledge; the reports teach the fundamentals as you go.

What the signal is

Each report is a short email with a chart-based read, a price target, and a sell signal. You still choose the buyer and decide whether to act. Worked examples, including durum in 2022, canola, and CWRS, are on the case studies page.

Which report

The Grain Report covers wheat, canola, barley, oats, corn, soybeans, and flax. The Special Crops Report covers peas, lentils, chickpeas, canaryseed, and mustard. Each is $157.50 a month or $1,575 a year, CAD plus applicable tax; both are $2,625 a year. Annual plans start with a free 30-day trial, with no refunds after it ends. Portfolio Consulting is priced by consultation. Positive returns are not guaranteed.

Questions

What is technical analysis in grain marketing?

Technical analysis reads the price itself: its trend, its momentum, and the levels where the market has turned before. Klarenbach reports use it to set a price target and a sell signal.

Can a chart tell me exactly when to sell?

No. A chart doesn't place the sale, and it doesn't call every top. It gives you a disciplined plan instead of a guess, and you still choose the buyer and decide whether to act.

Do I need prior technical analysis knowledge?

No. The reports teach the fundamentals as you go.

How is technical analysis different from fundamental analysis for grain?

Technical analysis studies price itself: trend, structure, and momentum on the chart. Fundamental analysis focuses on supply, demand, weather, and news. Klarenbach Research treats known fundamentals as already reflected in the price and uses the chart to set objective sell signals.

What tools does Klarenbach use most often?

Market structure (Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, and Decline), moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, and support and resistance levels. Each crop-specific email states the sell-signal level in advance.
