Well from my trading perspective last week can be summed up as… WTF. It was from my personal trading perspective a non-event. The major news events BOC / ECB / U.S. CPi gave me some volatility BUT let’s face facts, the flashing lights on my screens flattered to deceive and basically moves were one way […]

  May was good month overall for my trading. As usual I can be very self-critical of some trades through maybe exiting a little too early, however, I am reminded by a few FX quotes along the lines of “You will never go broke banking profits!”. I will go deeper and beneath the numbers later […]

Almost at the end of the month, just Monday’s trading to complete month 5 of 2021. I think most of the month end moves happened last Friday, there was certainly a demand for the USD as markets opened in North America. From my own trading perspective thru THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM, it was a fairly […]

Another week completed and what have we learned? That an asset with no credible value. That cannot be used efficiently anywhere on this planet. That some call a store of value. The price of which can drop c.30% in one day. Can also have its price, and, by association, thousands more similar assets influenced by […]

Apologies, there was no blog and no ZOOM last weekend. I came down with a bug that kept me away from my screens for a few days. I had my Pfizer injection last week and I was reading about all the possible side effects but believe what I had was totally unrelated. Not to worry […]

A very slow month for me when looking at the total of pips gained. Very slim pickings and to be honest, I ended last month licking my wounds so to speak. I think the initial point to make was that April was still a positive month. It was just a difficult month, which hit all […]

A few weeks ago, I had an abundance of possible start points for the soapbox feature in this blog, and I remember writing saying that I would be able to use them at a time in the future. Time has passed by and I am no nearer to using them than I was a few […]

This week, from my perspective the FX market is in a very strange position, it is CAUGHT IN BETWEEN a battle between equities and bonds. Inter-market correlations are off, mis-aligned in my opinion and FX is right in the middle. More about this later in the soapbox section. It is not very often that I […]

Over the past two weeks I was supposed to be taking a small step back from the day-to-day routine and complete a re-charge of my internal FX batteries. Instead of the re-charge, I found myself dealing with software issues that as most of you can probably relate to are time consuming and at times they […]

  This will be a short blog as I am currently on my Easter break from trading. My next DRIVE THRU blog is scheduled for next weekend the 11th April 2021, when my blog will return with extra goodies that will hopefully please readers! Moving on… The purpose of this release is primarily just to […]

When it gets close to the end of the trading week, I look at all my notes, cuttings and highlighted points from the previous few days to get my ideas framed around what I want to use as the basis of my weekly SOAPBOX piece. By notes volume there were two events that dominated: – […]

Finally, the long-awaited signature of President Biden has been placed on the USD$1.9Trillion Covid-19 stimulus package deal. This ensures that those American’s due to receive their USD$1,400.00 cheques who have direct deposits arrangements with the U.S. tax authorities should receive money over this weekend… what’s the bet that Bitcoin will be over $60k by Monday […]

Last week was a great week for me from both a personal and trading perspective. Always count your wins. Everything is about MINDSET. Are we starting to see the cracks in the World Central Bank Master Plan now gaping wider showing in equities due to increasing bond yields? From a Forex perspective, equities selling off […]
