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 […]

What a crazy last week to finish off the month. What was a rather boring start to proceedings, being patient, waiting for trades to come to me, escalated in the final week to an FX Tsunami, with rampant volatility, especially in the Asian session, which already has poor liquidity so adding the two factors together […]

Another week completed and we still have a pulse… I always think, when a blog or any written piece opens with that sort of line it sounds like the writer has struggled with the week and glad it’s all over and he or she wants to open the following week journaling a fresh page. In […]

Today is Valentine’s Day, of this fact we can all agree. This maybe the only piece of information you will agree with me on in this week’s blog once you’ve read this week’s Soapbox…. more of that a little later. I am not sure what you guys think of the FX market at the moment, […]

Back into the routine now. January was an extreme month for head-on news, driven by high beta fundamentals served at rapid pace straight down the throat. I have no doubt that there will be more of the same ahead as we progress through 2021, although possibly not at the same intensity. I thought that it […]

For those interested, I closed of my month last Friday the 29th of January 2021. This blog is one of my newly styled “month-end” reviews, much more “month end” supporting data is available on my website on my landing page under the HISTORY / PERFORMANCE – THIS YEAR’S PERFORMANCE tab. Wow; what a month… Washington […]

I can’t give investment advice; I am not regulated to do so. All I can do is tell you my thoughts moving forward. Therefore, the title of this week’s DRIVE THRU blog and the “Soapbox” should be pretty straightforward in telling you what I am thinking about! In the “Soapbox” I will elaborate on my […]

Here we are at the end of the first two weeks of real trading this year. Even in my wildest predictive mood, I could NOT have come close to what has transpired so far in 2021, and we are only 50% of the way through month one! To a large extent I am still coming […]
