Wow…. last Friday was some day in the FX market, especially for the GBP related pairs 2% – 3% downside moves, even the EUR/GBP more often than not limited with its daily pip moves managed over a 1.8% move on the day. I made a few pips but to say I left a lot of […]
ARE CENTRAL BANKS OVERCOME BY REALITY?
Yet another big week for Central Banks. I am posing the question in the “SOAPBOX” in this week’s DRIVE THRU ZOOM, “Are Central Banks overrun by events or is it much simpler than that, are Central Banks just overcome by reality?” It is looking increasingly difficult for many of the major Central Banks to keep […]
IF YOU SCREAM IN BRUSSELS NO ONE HEARS YOU…
At long last the ECB has joined to party and now has positive interest rates. My SOAPBOX title came I think, from a movie, that I watched a while ago. It caught my attention and really does fit the bill as a title. The bureaucracy of Brussels is such that it operates in a bubble. […]
SEPTEMBER WILL BE THE BIGGEST FX MONTH THIS YEAR
Back from vacation, although my six weeks away was only really about two weeks as all the markets activities had me drawn to my screens, and if not my screens to financial TV. This week, my ZOOM presentation is a little longer than usual. I take my time going through my macro thoughts and fundamental […]
A BUBBLING CAULDRON OF SH*T
WELCOME: I promised at the start of July during the last WEEKLY FX DRIVE THRU (ZOOM) that I would provide a brief blog to review the July 2022 performance of THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM subscription service performance. What I am posting here, is basically the TwitLonger review that I posted a few days ago for […]

I will provide a very brief analysis of the July performance of the WEEKLY FX PREMIUM at the beginning of August, but, apart from this the FREE NEWSLETTER will not return until September. Enjoy your […]
A SUMMER OF DISCONTENT AHEAD
A SUMMER OF DISCONTENT AHEAD THE ECONOMICS OF A MADMAN… OR WOMAN! I am really looking forward to my summer break this year, although I expect that I will be looking at my iPad / iPhone a great deal more than previous years. After this weekend, the next date for a full DRIVE THRU will […]
WHAT MATTERS TO THIS FED?
The chopfest continues. This week I am taking a look from my perspective at what matters to this FED. We are about to enter what are usually quieter months for trading in the FX market. I wrote last week regarding my thoughts about how I believe this year will be different. We saw an explosive […]

WEEKLY FX PREMIUM: H1 2022 PERFORMANCE REVIEW and LOOK FORWARD: Q3 and H2 2022 At the same time as providing an update on how THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM works and what the benefits are of being a subscriber, I have also used this opportunity to review the performance of the first half of 2022 as […]
FX TRADING THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT (inc. June FX PREMIUM review)
WEEKLY FX PREMIUM: JUNE 2022 PERFORMANCE REVIEW and FX TRADING THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT Well, of the weeks in a year, last week was one of them! Currency moves were explosive and whilst as retail traders we always tend to look for reasons to hang onto to justify moves, at the end of day, […]
MOVING FORWARD: IT’S ALL ABOUT HOUSING
Over the past week, we basically learned what we already knew, which was that the FED has NO control over either energy or grocery prices and understands the pain that households are going through as they remain determined to hike interest rates in order to bring inflation under control. So determined is FED chair, Jerome […]
LET’S HOPE THESE ARE NOT JUST WET FINGERS IN THE AIR…
What a crazy week in the markets. Many had said at the outset of 2022 that the FX market may be a little quieter than normal. A war in UKRAINE and increasing INFLATION and SUPPLY CHAIN issues put those ideas well and truly to bed. Never mind the fact that I also believe that we […]
CENTRAL BANK CREDIBILITY ON THE LINE…
This weekend’s DRIVE THRU (ZOOM) link is below. Last week was all about the RBA and ECB. This week the FED, BOE and BOJ take centre stage. With rising inflation, and economic growth targets being cut, dare I say it, STAGFLATION and RECESSION talk it at the forefront of the economic debates taking place at […]
