Welcome to 2021. I have not started full-time trading in 2021 and yet I feel given what has happened in the U.S. over the past 5 days feels like “first footing” of the most extreme variation. I had intended to get into full swing towards the end of last week but WordPress issues, plugins, Constant […]

   I have spent so much time over the past 7-10 days planning ahead for 2021, it does seem rather weird going backwards to wrap up 2020. I have communicated a little bit over the past few days with my FX PREMIUM subscribers whether they trade solo or within my trading groups about feeling like […]

So here we go, the final DRIVE THRU blog of 2020, except for a very brief end of year version that will be posted sometime in the holiday period when I decide to close off 2020 and prepare and update everything for 2021. If I recall last year, I think it was early in the […]

So, here we go, the penultimate DRIVE THRU blog of 2020. There is so much to say and do between now and the year end. I have decided that next week’s blog, the final one of 2020, will be mostly devoted to the changes I am bringing to 2021, but NOT in entirety. Basically, November […]

Over the years I have always found that my blog that follows the “Thanksgiving” holiday is a difficult one to choose the subject matter for. This year however is different, there is a plethora of fundamentals out there all worthy of noting in the “Soapbox”. In order and for brevity’s sake, I will keep the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

In some ways I am grateful that the month end and the U.S. Presidential election clash as it allows me not to dwell too long on both subjects in this blog. In line with my shift away on a gradual basis from writing blogs into a more audio / visual approach of “ZOOMING”, I will […]

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 approached lines in the sand deadline dates provided by politicians. Sadly […]

Over the past two weekends I have written blogs and then just prior to proofreading etc., I have changed the topic and re-written the DRIVE THRU at for me is the 11th hour and 59 seconds. This obviously causes time pressure for me, but at the same time it also highlights to me the simple […]

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 LOCKDOWN; Average True Ranges are contracting, and we […]
