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 hoped last week to claw back a good chunk of the lost pips from trading a couple of weeks ago, sadly, that did not happen. Whilst, I have clawed a few hundred pips back the 1,000+ that I had hoped for just wasn’t there for me. As a trader you always tend … [Continue reading]
FROM DEMOCRACY TO LAUGHINGSTOCK… CHINA SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY
As they say, that was a week. My attention has been 99.999% focused on the U.S. TRUMPS antics and failures continue to threaten U.S. security and frankly this handover period shows a weakness in the U.S. political process. The vacuum that is being created by TRUMP’S behavior is from the perspective of other leaders and countries looking on, showing the U.S. to be a laughingstock. It has long gone beyond what could be termed a “Democracy”. The U.S. political system is enabling what at … [Continue reading]
BIDEN HAS THE KEYS TO THE DOOR… WHAT ABOUT THE USD MOVING FORWARD?
What a week. I have not watched as much TV in a long time. I now know what it means when people are referred to as TV junkies. I traded very little and I have a couple of positions I may have to let go of, so all in all a very different week from the usual. When I sit back, the U.S. vote from my perspective was clear cut. Joe Biden would have had to have shot one of my dogs in order for me not to vote for him. The TRUMP nonsense which persists even now is fueled by the fact the elders in the … [Continue reading]

EUROPE: RECESSION DEPRESSION… PO-TAY-TO PO-THA-TO
Another spectacular week on rhetoric has completed. FX is NOT boring but, having said that, it has been at most times of late a fairly pointless excercise. This past week we have been anxiously waiting on big news events to develop as we quickly … [Continue reading]

WILL THE FX MARKET APPROACH A LOCKDOWN AHEAD OF THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
After a great month of pip gathering and $$$ in September, I think that as we are now within a few weeks of the U.S. Presidential election we are starting to see FX slowly but surely come to a volatility crossroads. We are in basically an FX … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM: SEPTEMBER 2020 PERFORMANCE
It only seems like yesterday that I was writing, I am back from my summer break and in front of my screens again. I remember my father telling me, when you get older you will feel that time goes by much faster than when you are at a younger … [Continue reading]
IS CABLE HEADING TOWARDS THE ROCKS?
Last week was a big week in the FX market, well it was for me, the positions that I had been patiently building and patiently waiting to come through, came through. The week was one of my best performing weeks in FX only beaten previously by the … [Continue reading]
IS THE FED OUT OF BULLETS… TRUE OR FALSE?
Last week was a big Central Bank week for policy. The BOJ (Bank of Japan) offered nothing new but both the FED (U.S. Federal Reserve) and the BOE (Bank of England) gave the markets a bit of a shakeup. Andrew Bailey, the Bank of England Governor, … [Continue reading]
