Another week completed and we still have a pulse... I always think, when a blog or any written piece opens with that sort of line it sounds like the writer has struggled with the week and glad it’s all over and he or she wants to open the following week journaling a fresh page. In my particular example, of that opening statement, as a Forex Trader, I just want a fresh page where there is no more “chop” in the market. As I have written so many times of late, it is simply, in my opinion, not … [Continue reading]
ONE SLIP… (AND DOWN THE HOLE WE FALL)
Today is Valentine’s Day, of this fact we can all agree. This maybe the only piece of information you will agree with me on in this week’s blog once you’ve read this week’s Soapbox.... more of that a little later. I am not sure what you guys think of the FX market at the moment, but as an initial Swing Style trader I am finding it basically untradeable most days of late. There is absolutely nothing in it for Swing Style traders. Of my three trade styles my POSITION trades are working BUT only … [Continue reading]
A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Back into the routine now. January was an extreme month for head-on news, driven by high beta fundamentals served at rapid pace straight down the throat. I have no doubt that there will be more of the same ahead as we progress through 2021, although possibly not at the same intensity. I thought that it would be a good idea to define from experience, my perspective of what FX Traders require of themselves in 2021. FX Trading is lonely. You are on your own – no-one is coming to save … [Continue reading]
WHEN THE WORLD ENDS: Including THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM REVIEW – JANUARY 2021

GOLD
I can’t give investment advice; I am not regulated to do so. All I can do is tell you my thoughts moving forward. Therefore, the title of this week’s DRIVE THRU blog and the “Soapbox” should be pretty straightforward in telling you what I am thinking … [Continue reading]
THE GATES OF DELIRIUM
Here we are at the end of the first two weeks of real trading this year. Even in my wildest predictive mood, I could NOT have come close to what has transpired so far in 2021, and we are only 50% of the way through month one! To a large extent … [Continue reading]
AMERICAN DREAM: PLAN B
Welcome to 2021. I have not started full-time trading in 2021 and yet I feel given what has happened in the U.S. over the past 5 days feels like “first footing” of the most extreme variation. I had intended to get into full swing towards the … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM: GOALS & OBJECTIVES 2021
From time to time in business you are thrown a curve ball. Totally out of the blue in the latter part of last week, I was updating my website and releasing more space to keep download speeds fast. My webpages crashed, nothing could be uploaded and … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM: DECEMBER 2020 – REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
I have spent so much time over the past 7-10 days planning ahead for 2021, it does seem rather weird going backwards to wrap up 2020. I have communicated a little bit over the past few days with my FX PREMIUM subscribers whether they trade … [Continue reading]
THE LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
So here we go, the final DRIVE THRU blog of 2020, except for a very brief end of year version that will be posted sometime in the holiday period when I decide to close off 2020 and prepare and update everything for 2021. If I recall last year, I … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – NOVEMBER 2020 PERFORMANCE AND THE “OLD NORMAL” SHOULD BE BACK IN 2021
So, here we go, the penultimate DRIVE THRU blog of 2020. There is so much to say and do between now and the year end. I have decided that next week’s blog, the final one of 2020, will be mostly devoted to the changes I am bringing to 2021, but NOT in … [Continue reading]
TIME FOR THE CABLE?
Over the years I have always found that my blog that follows the “Thanksgiving” holiday is a difficult one to choose the subject matter for. This year however is different, there is a plethora of fundamentals out there all worthy of noting in the … [Continue reading]
BREXIT: THE END IS NIGH…. OR IS IT?
Another week completed on the countdown to the end of the year. Actually, for full disclosure originally (before proof reading), I wrote the end of the world... not sure where that came from at all! Nevertheless, onwards and upwards. I had … [Continue reading]
