It has often been said that from time to time when things are going really well, in Forex, usually when everything you trade does as you expect and that nothing goes wrong and you become overconfident, a reality check is required. I know from trading in the Forex market for over 10 years now that […]

Whilst I enjoyed my summer break, and I did get away for a week to Seattle, it was not as long a break as I thought it would be. The main reason for my shortened break was DONALD TRUMP. He kept the volatility high with all the talk over the CHINA / U.S. trade deal […]

From Monday 2ndSeptember I am back 100% full-time trading once again. I have a lot of reading and chart analysis to complete over the coming days, to replenish my pending limit order set ups. For the past 5/6 weeks, I have been on a “pullback” from all the FX related day to day routines that […]

I am now on my summer break from writing weekly blogs. I am still trading albeit at a reduced level. I wrote in my final “DRIVE THRU” blog prior to my break that whilst I was looking forward to a summer break it wasn’t clear just how much time off, I would actually have, given […]

I am going to start this week’s blog with some book keeping notes. This is my last blog prior to my summer break, the next DRIVE THRU blog is scheduled to be posted on September 7th2019. I will, however, provide month end summaries of the results of my trading via the WEEKLY FX PREMIUM at […]

I decided that this year, I would have a “Summer Promotion” that gives anyone interested, the opportunity to follow my trades through to the end of 2019 for a very special low cost.

In my last blog I started by saying that I woke up in a cold sweat from not being able to reconcile FX issues in my head and just could not sleep. There is so much going on, not just with FX but every market at the moment, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in […]

Like many people, sometimes when in a deep sleep something suddenly awakens you in what is often described as a cold sweat. I had one of those moments last week when, from the darkest depths of my brain I sat up with the following thoughts… It was a combination of TRUMP and RISK exposure prior […]

Over the years of writing weekly blogs, it is no secret that writing blogs around key market moving events is a nightmare. From beginning to end, my weekly blog takes some 7-8 hours to put together, have it proof-read, deal with WordPress for publishing and ensure that the various formats hit the right people as […]

At the end of Powell’s Press Conference last Wednesday, I said under my breath “well there you go… WTF”. The way Powell never even pushed back on a question about a 0.50% interest cut in July was telling. I was educated on the basis that Central Bank policy is like trying to turn around one […]

As weeks go, last week was probably one of the quietest from my involvement with market since I started trading in the FX market. The quick and easy measurement is the fact that I only added eight new trade set ups and three of those were added last Friday! The market, as I have stated […]

As we head towards the end of H1 2019, I have been reflective this week on my overall FX PREMIUM trading performance on completed trades for the year so far, also taking stock of the current live trades that are held as longer-term core positions. This complete review will manifest itself in the June 2019 […]

Much has been written this month by many traders and analysts, not just me, about how difficult the range bound FX markets are to trade inside. In fact, I think that I have been highlighting how awkward the FX market has been for a few months, definitely all of Q2 anyway. In a “rangey” trading […]
