Great to be back from the holiday break and, I am raring to go.

I basically observed last week’s action in the FX market. In past years I have been caught out with early year trading during times of low liquidity. I learned my lesson the hard way and I believe the phrase to use here is “Once Bitten Twice Shy”.

Whilst I do consider myself very disciplined as a trader, I still let myself go on a USD/JPY short trade and was squeezed out in 30 minutes! I am still striving for perfection; in my defence it was a short against what I believed a strong area of resistance. Yep... not that strong as it blasted by over 300+ pips by the end of the week. I am discussing the FX markets well documented “THE TRADE OF 2023” for FX PREMIUM subscribers in the SUNDAY MORNING ZOOM.

Moving on...

I posted a ZOOM titled “THEMES 2023” for FX PREMIUM subscribers recently, where I talked about INFLATION v RECESSION.  In today’s DRIVE THRU ZOOM I want to visit the subject of INFLATION, not from a conspiracist perspective but a realist view on the numbers. The headlines and the euphoria 2023 has brought so far, albeit only 8 days have passed, of which, we have had only 4 trading days beggars’ belief.

Check out my thoughts in the YouTube presentation below: -

Finally, always remember longevity in Forex trading can only be achieved through trading with a good MINDSET, RISK, TRADE and HEAD MANAGEMENT, and above all set your position sizes in accordance with the size of your account and allow for some flexibility. Trade with a TRADE PLAN, basically, plan your trades and Trade your Plan.

Be grateful for your wins and count them. Keep a POSITIVE MINDSET in play at all times, regardless of the market conditions.
