</ol>
This is not a usual WEEKLY FX DRIVE THRU blog. As you may know the last official blog of 2015 was on the 28<sup>th</sup> November. The WEEKLY FX DRIVE THRU is now on vacation until January 10<sup>th</sup> 2016.

The purpose of this blog is basically two-fold; firstly to confirm the total trading performance by the PREMIUM SERVICE for 2015 (I have now stopped trading for 2015) and secondly, to launch my new trade style specifically aimed at part-time traders. This I am very, very excited about as I believe this now completes my macro level goal of being able to provide a fee-paying service to all types of Forex trader regardless of pocket size and the their trading conditions and limitations.

	<li><strong> THE PREMIUM SERVICE – TRADING PERFORMANCE 2015:</strong></li>
</ol>
The month of November 2015 was probably one of my best trading months since I started trading, and without doubt it was the best monthly performance of the PREMIUM SERVICE since its inception in January 2014.

However, my trades in early December when Janet Yellen spoke initiated many limit order trades. The following day when Draghi did not deliver what the market expected at the ECB press conference this resulted in me being on the wrong side of many trades. The pre-release of Draghi’ s intentions by the Financial Times did not help either, as I was not able to exit a few of the open positions, the result was most of the good work done in November was washed away. Thankfully, all of trades had stops and they were set within trading guidelines contained within my TRADE PLAN. Nevertheless, it was a painful reminder of how cruel the markets can be; they take no prisoners and are totally non-forgiving. Most trades were sucked into the full loss positions that I was prepared to accept, very annoying and it was very frustrating to say the least. The end result was that the 2015 total performance was short of 2014 by 523 pips.

Below, I have included spreadsheets that review and compare 2015 with 2014.

The chart below details the month-by-month pip profitability comparison of 2015 versus 2014.

	<li><strong> PART-TIME FOREX TRADER TRADES:</strong></li>
</ol>
One category of trader that is missed ignored and frankly not adequately catered for by the FX market that of accommodating “the Part-Time” trader. Although many Forex educators have tried to formulate a strategy to work for traders who have limited access to their computers, they have had very limited success. Without doubt the development of trading on cell phones and tablets has helped, however trading part-time throws up limitations full-time traders just cannot grasp.

Having traded Forex myself now for over 8 years, I can understand the frustrations of the part-time trader and the feeling of isolation this brings. I started trading part-time, however my circumstances allowed me to move to full-time trading. Not everyone has this luxury so I get it, I understand the frustrations of a part-time trader when trades are closed when you are unable to access your computer. In the real world we have to accept that at times the markets will dictate trading, this cannot be avoided, however if there was a way this could be reduced, the involvement of part-time traders in the Forex market would rise.

When the PREMIUM SERVICE officially started in 2014, I tried to accommodate part-time traders needs to my best ability through recommending that focus be placed on trading my FUNDAMENTAL trade set-ups. It never really worked as effectively as I had hoped it would and I did not meet the unique sales position that I strove to achieve, and like many others, I failed in my goals that I set myself in accommodating part-time traders. The PREMIUM SERVICE profitability was on target, in fact it exceeded my expectations, but my objective of creating and supporting a niche for part-time traders just did not happen.

All other aspects of my goals and objectives were met and have continued through into 2015. If you visit my website <a href="http://www.weeklyfxdrivethru.com">www.weeklyfxdrivethru.com</a> under the TAB on my landing page titled PREMIIUM SERVICE all the 2015 and 2014 performances are compared and reviewed (If you want more data just ask).

I have shown that no matter what the size of budget you have, you can make money from Forex trading. This was my initial goal niche area, whether your account has a balance of $1,000.00, a $ 100,000,00, or somewhere in between the Forex market has opportunities for you to make money.

Since offering a fee-based subscription option, the PREMIUM SERVICE, I have categorized my trade set ups into three different types of trades.

FLASH TRADES – at market trades of a short-term duration.

RADAR TRADES – limit orders, looking for swing trade opportunities.

FUNDAMENTAL TRADES – limit orders with longer-term horizons, primarily focused on commodity cross-rate pairs.

In my opinion, you have to be an active trader to trade both RADAR and FLASH trades. It was part of my goal that the FUNDAMENTAL trades would be attractive to all traders but especially part-time traders.

It is with the FUNDAMENTAL trades that I have been reviewing my thoughts, ideas and objectives towards the end of 2015. From this review I have decided to launch specific trade se-ups that I hope will meet the needs and limitations for part-time traders.

&nbsp;

<u>BACKGROUND TO THE LAUNCH of PART-TIME FOREX TRADE SET-UPS:</u>

Following moves in the major central bank monetary policies (FED, ECB, BOJ, BOE, SNB, RBA, BOC and RBNZ); we now have policy divergence across the globe. In my opinion, this is a tradable feature and because it should be directional it has a hugely potential tradable benefit.

I decided late October 2015, that from November 1<sup>st</sup> 2015 all future FUNDAMENTAL TRADES would be based around central bank divergence trades. This change was initially communicated to my existing PREMIUM SERVICE subscribers, who reside in all corners of the globe, trade with different sizes of accounts, some are active traders, some part-time, some just seasonal, many are technical traders and many are traders based off fundamental news. It is the full spectrum.

I have received tremendous feedback, in particular from my part-time traders, who were missing some suggested trade set-ups as they could not access their computer devices enough times in the day to check for set-ups.

From my perspective, it is much easier to plan and schedule DIVERGENT FUNDAMENTAL TRADES. Being, realistic, there are bound to be occasions when an entry or an exit price could be missed, nothing can be 100% in this market place but my part-time traders are delighted, and therefore so am I.

Armed with this information, it gave me greater comfort when moving forward with this trading strategy.

After deliberation, and realizing the opportunities specifically for Part-Time Traders, I decided to add a fourth trade style. Instead of re-branding my FUNDAMENTAL trades I decided to call the DIVERGENT FUNDAMENTAL trades, PART-TIME TRADER trades instead.

As mentioned, the trade set-ups suggested are intended to have a longer-term trading perspective. They are not only targeted at traders who consider they are part-time Forex traders; obviously, all traders can of course take advantage. I see it as an additional income stream opportunity for all. Who doesn’t want extra $$$.

Just for the record, my definition of a part-time trader is one who is only able to look at their computer screens, or, mobile devices to check trades two or three times a day.

A key feature of these set-ups is that they have much wider than normal stops to allow for market swings and volatility. The compensation for this is that trades are smaller in size to allow for swings in volatility, but multiple trades in the same currency pair are added when the core trade has traction in the desired direction.

These trades can be used to generate an additional income stream to pay for a specific financial outlay, such as, a new car, holiday/vacation or a wedding etc.

My goal is to have multiple trades open/live at any one time and maybe 2/3 open/live trades with the same currency pair. I will of course suggest to take some profits along the way, but hopefully at the same time letting trades run as far as possible.

Managing RISK is paramount. The size of your trading account and the sizing of your trades is crucial. I will help in this area if you have questions. Longevity in trading is only achieved when quality RISK and MONEY MANAGEMENT takes place. Longevity is paramount to trading success. New traders, in particular, must understand the importance of managing RISK. I will offer as much help as possible in this area, all you have to do is ask.

We are entering a period of two years or so at least, with divergent central bank monetary policies. As a Forex trader this gives me increased confidence when placing trades knowing that central bank policy is supportive of my trade direction. Whilst there is still risk attached to the trade, risks are minimized, and the longer-term nature of the trades allow for swings and volatility. If I can achieve my goal of 75% -25% profitable to losing trades over an extended trading period, I will be happy.

&nbsp;

<u>LOOKING AHEAD INTO 2016 and BEYOND:</u>

Based on my historical performance data and using average take profits, stop loss levels and anticipated trade volumes for next year, the information below gives you an idea of the goals and objectives that I have set myself to achieve in 2016.

My cash flow projection for PART-TIME TRADER TRADES for 2016 is below.

This is a projection based off my previous performances over a two-year trading period. I have calculated this cash flow allowing for whether you are a micro, mini or standard lot trader.

Based on the examples set out in the spreadsheet below. After all costs associated directly with trading are accounted for: -

Micro lot traders have a potential net income of $789.75

Mini lot traders have a potential net income of $15,052.50

Standard lot traders have a potential net income of $157,680.00

Obviously, should you trade 2 or 3 lot sized trades your RISK to trade (cost) are increased above the examples shown but additionally your net profit returns are potentially greater.

RISK MANAGEMENT, POSITION SIZING and OVER LEVERAGING are crucial management tools you must understand before trading, having said that there are great income opportunities.

<u>MOVING FORWARD IF YOU ARE INTERESTED:</u>

These are available to you if you want them, plus any other information you would like to know about.

I am really excited about the opportunities that lie ahead with these trade set-ups.

As the realization that central bank monetary policy divergence will be a reality in for the markets to trade around and consider, trading this divergence will become stronger and as a result the profitability from these trades should increased.

If you want to be part of this program, you need to get ready for 2016 now.

Good Luck,
