Another choppy, volatile, some might even say knicker gripping week in FX. I just hope that “newbie” traders heeded the warnings and traded smaller. One thing for sure is that if you can survive these markets you will survive most aspects of FX trading. The markets have been at times during the day very unforgiving (no change there), and when you look at daily charts and percentage moves you think, (well at least I think to myself), how the bloody hell did I miss that trend, that direction! … [Continue reading]

GET THEM PRINTING PRESSES READY…
The world is now officially closed. We are stocked up and good to go for 16 weeks, which I think is about it from lock yourself up in splendid isolation. Mid-July as I see it is when we can mix again and return to what will no doubt be the new normal. During the past few days I had so many ideas for this section of the blog, that in fact, I had written 3 different pieces for this section. A blast at TRUMP The EUROPEAN UNION chance for a fresh start A potential New World from H2/Q3 … [Continue reading]
COVID-19 WAS THE CATALYST… NOT THE CAUSE
I am for once not 100% sure on what I can write about this week that stands out from what will no doubt be equivalent to about a ton in weight in Financial Reports and in-depth analysis following what can only be described as a bloodbath on a roller … [Continue reading]
MARCH MADNESS… MARKETS ARE SURREAL
Timing in trading FX is important. Your trade exits and entries need to be timed as best you can to maximise profits or minimize losses. A couple of weeks ago, I had to diary “a visit to the dentist for a root canal treatment” and decided last week … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM FEBRUARY 2020 – REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
That was some month. If you are into bloodbaths with vampires happy days; you are welcome. I have not seen anyone write that the Coronavirus (Covid-19) was a BLACK SWAN event yet, but with U.S, equities now in full-on correction mode, and given … [Continue reading]

GROUNDHOG WEEK
I know that there is no such thing as “GROUNDHOG WEEK”, but that is what it feels like. I know that I was around for the week but not a huge amount seems to have happened, if anything did happen, it may be age, but I do not appear to have remembered … [Continue reading]
ALGOS “ON SPEED” PLUS HAVE THE MARKETS LOST THE PLOT?
I am struggling to define the current FX market other than to use words such as trapped, difficult, rangebound, painful and f**ked up. One of the aspects to FX trading, in fact trading in general that is almost totally ignored is TRADING … [Continue reading]
THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM – JANUARY 2020 REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE
One month down and eleven to go. Never in a month of Sundays would I have predicted 2020 to kick off the way that it has. One would have thought TRADE WARS, TRUMP IMPEACHMENT, IRAN, NORTH KOREA or BREXIT would have been the geopolitical events to … [Continue reading]
GREED and FOMO: COMING TO AN END?
So, here we go again, a very, very interesting week in FX. Volatility is starting to emerge once again, not on the back of the DAVOS 2020 JUNKET but on a World Health concern emanating from the city of Wuhan, CHINA. Following SARS (Severe Acute … [Continue reading]
CORRELATIONS DO COUNT…
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 … [Continue reading]
