Well, there I was up at 4AM this morning, coffee ready, dogs out and back ready to watch “Super Saturday” in the UK House of Commons, bringing part one of the BREXIT deal to a conclusion, one way or another with an exit based on a deal with the EU. As usual, the theatrics and log jam that is based upon the well-known fact that the UK lawmakers are “REMAINERS” and will do anything to delay, obstruct and delay more to frustrate the UK voters who voted 52% / 48% in June 2016 to leave the … [Continue reading]
GEOPOLITICS CONTINUES TO CALL THE SHOTS
The past week reminded me why I love trading Forex. The geopolitical news events may be dominating price moves at the moment, or to put it another way FUNDAMENTALS trump TECHNICALS (pun intended). Whilst this is the style of market I prefer to trade within; it is tainted with danger signs whichever way you look. I trade longer-term (or try the best that I can within the market conditions), and within my trade plan, I have three sub trade plans to direct me through three different trade … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM SEPTEMBER 2019 PERFORMANCE
Comparing September with August from my trading performance perspective is at first glance like comparing Apples with Oranges or even Kirk versus Picard. The headlines show just +350 pips added in the month, compared with +3,360 pips in the previous month. Obviously as any newspaper mogul worth his salt would say there is a story behind the headlines, and I will elude to how I saw things in the performance review in section 1. I am still ahead of last years performance at the same time … [Continue reading]
DEMOCRATS WON’T BRING TRUMP DOWN… HE’S MORE THAN CAPABLE ON HIS OWN!
This month has certainly been a roller coaster from my own trading perspective. After a great start I gave it all and more away, re-focused, picked myself up and got back in the saddle again, reclaimed a positive outlook and then mediocrity into the … [Continue reading]
FIVE CENTRAL BANKS REPORT… VERY LITTLE LEARNT
As data goes, last week was a really huge week for top tier data with five Central Banks reporting. I expected to learn a huge amount to set me up for the coming weeks and months based on policies. However, given the “high beta” news releases that … [Continue reading]
WHERE DID ALL THE “DOOM & GLOOM” GO?
It has often been said that from time to time when things are going really well, in Forex, usually when everything you trade does as you expect and that nothing goes wrong and you become overconfident, a reality check is required. I know from trading … [Continue reading]
THE GBP FUTURE IS STILL UNCERTAIN (GAMES ARE BEING PLAYED)
Whilst I enjoyed my summer break, and I did get away for a week to Seattle, it was not as long a break as I thought it would be. The main reason for my shortened break was DONALD TRUMP. He kept the volatility high with all the talk over the CHINA / … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – AUGUST 2019 PERFORMANCE
From Monday 2ndSeptember I am back 100% full-time trading once again. I have a lot of reading and chart analysis to complete over the coming days, to replenish my pending limit order set ups. For the past 5/6 weeks, I have been on a “pullback” … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – JULY 2019 PERFORMANCE
I am now on my summer break from writing weekly blogs. I am still trading albeit at a reduced level. I wrote in my final “DRIVE THRU” blog prior to my break that whilst I was looking forward to a summer break it wasn’t clear just how much time … [Continue reading]

IT’S ALL BEING BUILT ON A HOUSE OF CARDS
In my last blog I started by saying that I woke up in a cold sweat from not being able to reconcile FX issues in my head and just could not sleep. There is so much going on, not just with FX but every market at the moment, we are witnessing a … [Continue reading]
IT’S PROBABLY TIME TO REVIEW RISK
Like many people, sometimes when in a deep sleep something suddenly awakens you in what is often described as a cold sweat. I had one of those moments last week when, from the darkest depths of my brain I sat up with the following thoughts... It … [Continue reading]
