In late November I had an aborted DRIVE THRU blog written and ready to go called “MANAGING THE FOREX JIGSAW”. It was another way of linking all in the inter-market correlations together. It was derived from my thoughts that the market was too complacent. Here we go again... The market, in my opinion, is guilty of EXTREME COMPLACENCY at the moment. I know it is what it is and as retail traders, especially in FX we rise or fall on the coattails of the institutional moves and we are happy, or … [Continue reading]
CONSEQUENCES FOR TRUMP and FX
Here we go again...

My key goals with my BLOG for 2020 remain: - IMPACT and AWARENESS SIMPLE and CLEAR TO READ FX CHARTING FX PREMIUM (SALES) UPDATE FX PREMIUM SUBSCRIBERS; further insights CLOSING THOUGHTS I want all of the above, but … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM DECEMBER AND YEAR 2019 COMPLETE PERFORMANCE
Well that’s it, 2019 ... done and dusted. The numbers do NOT lie. 2019 was my most successful trading year since introducing a fee-paying subscription service. My most successful via net pips gained. However, not wanting to be a killjoy, this performance was NOT reflected to the same extent in actual $$$ income. The reason for this was very simple and straightforward to understand, I traded with smaller positions in 2019 due to the higher levels of market RISK. Having said that, 2019 … [Continue reading]
IT WAS POPULISIM NOW ITS PURE POLARISATION
My final blog of 2019, an ideal occasion to reflect on the trading year, maybe for some but I think that I will save those thoughts for my December “WEEKLY FX PREMIUM” performance blog, which I will complete and post sometime between Christmas and … [Continue reading]
MICKEY MOUSE POLITICS SET TO CONTINUE INTO 2020
My penultimate DRIVE THRU of 2019; it is not a time to get sentimental but to be grateful that I still have my health and that I am still trading and still generating pips, with what looks like to be a record pip gathering year. Sadly, not profit … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – NOVEMBER 2019 PERFORMANCE
Not wanting sound like a broken record but “Hell... this current FX market is just bloody awful to trade within”. When I made the decision last year to switch to full-time POSITION style trading, I knew that there would be times when accumulating … [Continue reading]
CAN A TRUMP IMPLOSION BE AVOIDED?
Every time I sit down in front of my computer screen and start to type about a subject that is front and centre in the news, I wonder will I be scrapping what I have just written because news events have overtaken my thought process whilst … [Continue reading]
FX TRADING = GROUNDHOG DAY
Groundhog Day was one of my favourite movies starring Bill Murray back in the early 1990’s. I feel that with this week’s blog, it’s Groundhog day once again, in fact since after the flurry of activity last August, I feel that at every weekend since … [Continue reading]
FX TRADING – ARE WE IN THE NEW NORMAL?
In real terms, with one or two minor exceptions, the FX market has been very docile, flat, boring and lacking in consistent volatility over recent times. In fact, I believe I wrote several weeks ago about “THE NEW NORMAL” with regards to FX trading, … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – OCTOBER 2019 PERFORMANCE
My last three months performance has been something like a helter-skelter fun park ride. A record month (my best ever) in August, a huge pullback in September and then last month was my second best in 2019 with +3,075 net profitable pips … [Continue reading]
UK POLITICIANS KEEP THEIR GRAVY TRAIN ROLLIN’
The “Circus” that is also called the UK House of Commons continues to offer a show that you just could not make up. I often watch futuristic blockbuster movies saying to my wife that the creativity and imagination of the writers at times beggar’s … [Continue reading]
THE POLITICAL CIRCUS IN THE UK MOVES ON AGAIN
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 … [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 … [Continue reading]
