	<li><strong> OVERVIEW:</strong></li>
</ol>
As you know the PREMIUM SERVICE is now on a summer recess, however, my wife and I have moved home in the last week so as you can probably imagine it has not been feet up time for me yet.

The reason for this communication is “five-fold”: -

Firstly, to review the July 2015 performance and the 2015 year to date picture in relation to last year and my overall objectives for this year.

Secondly, to announce that following my subscriber working party review, the format and structure of the blog will alter from the next release, which is scheduled for September 12<sup>th</sup>. I am excited about these changes, small as they may be, because of late my administrative functionality has been increasing, eating into my trading time. These changes will I hope help balance things out a little.

All versions of the blog, The Free Newsletter and The Premium Service (Gold) subscriber will have a revised format, plus my contributions to the likes of <a href="http://www.investing.com">www.investing.com</a> will have reduced content but nevertheless a very similar feel to The Free Newsletter. I have been very adhoc with contributions to the various sources of promotion to me this year so far, but with the proposed changes in structure to the blog I feel I have the right opportunity now to be more active in these area.

Thirdly, I want to use this opportunity to announce THE PREMIUM SERVICE fall / autumn promotional campaigns. This time around there are two programs in place one with the support of one of my FX Broker partners and a second campaign directly with THE PREMIUM SERVICE alone.

Fourthly, the very highly acclaimed and respected FX trader/guru/commentator of over 30 years trading experience Dale Pinkert @ForexStopHunter host of a daily webinar has asked me to guest on his broadcast. I have been delaying Dale for a couple of months due to the house move preparation and a couple of other issues but I am hoping that I will be able to participate in a show early September. For those of you who enjoy the sound of a “scouse” accent on the radio - a treat is in store for you, provided of course that Dale has not got tired and bored of waiting!!

Fifth and finally, in September The Free Newsletter will feature on a third party website, to be announced later, as I am now going to provide content for a new partner. I am really excited about this opportunity and whilst initially it will be the “Newsletter” only… from little acorns grow the really big oak tress!

	<li><strong> TRADING:</strong></li>
</ol>
I have stopped now and all open trades are closed and limit orders cancelled. I will however be glancing at the markets from time to time and will start back again in early September although the first blog will not be until the 12<sup>th</sup> of September.

I just want to say that if you are going to continue to trade throughout August and not take a break please think about the following: -

The Forex markets are notoriously thin in August due to institutional traders vacations. In addition many other “market players” take a break. The result of this can be extreme.

Range trading is the most likely outcome, with false breakouts and breakdowns being the order of the day. You have to be extra careful with POSITION SIZING in my opinion.

The Asian market is particularly affected by these changes in market liquidity and some FX moves can be very extreme. In my opinion the only trading period with any notable volume would be when the European and North American markets are trading together from about 8:00AM to 11.30AM EDT. Outside of these times I would consider myself to be on permanent “Orange alert”.

3.10: COMMENTS on 2015 PERFORMANCE so far:

I think that the first comment that I have to make is that after the early year SNB - EUR/CHF peg removal and the ensuing days of market squeezes that followed, I never thought that the PREMIUM SERVICE would be in its current position. Secondly, given the fact that for 7 out of the last 10 weeks I have been operating on a “light trading” format due to GREECE, THE FED and other geopolitical headlines dominating sentiment, so to be where the PREMIUM SERVICE is now is very encouraging and I feel 100% vindicated in my cautious approach and outlook.

Initially, I always look at the bottom line. My immediate annual objectives are: -

MICRO LOT TRADING profits of $1.000.00
MINI LOT TRADING profits of $10,000.00
and
STANDARD LOT TRADING profits of $100,000.00

As of 31<sup>st</sup> July the PREMIUM SERVICE is 77.43% towards that objective with 4 months left. We are ahead of target by quite a large margin when you break this into monthly objectives. I am very happy.

With reference to pip generation this year in comparison to 2014 at the same time, we are over 2,000 pips ahead in profitability.

In the month of July it was the strongest month this year with regards to Profit / Loss trade ratios: -

46 trades in total.
39 were profitable trades (85%)
7 were loss-making trades (15%)

Year to Date the ratio is 73% versus 27%.

As I have written about practically all year, the markets this year in comparison to 2014 have changed. I have had to be more active with trades. The ratios of Limit order entry trades (RADAR &amp; FUNDAMENTAL) versus active trades (FLASH) is virtually the same 2014 versus 2015 to date, but the number of trades is greater this year in comparison to last year.

512 trades in total in 2014 and already this year 466 trades.

Based off MINI LOT trading: -
Income per trade in 2014 = $21.89.
Income per trade 2015 so far = $16.61.

These numbers back up my comments all year about being more savvy on grabbing $$$ as we have not been operating in directional markets and due to the increased volatility this year in comparison to 2014 we had to adapt our trading styles.

&nbsp;

There is no <strong>Section 4 PREMIUM SERVICE</strong> exclusive content this week.

&nbsp;

5.2: THE LAST WORD:

I am looking forward to a short break from trading and if you do not currently do the same, think about it. There is nothing quite like having ones batteries re-charged.

If however, you just cannot stop yourself and I completely get it, maybe trade smaller POSITION SIZES or use a demo account to try out new strategies. Longevity is the key to trading along with capital preservation so please do not risk either of these by foolishly placing your account at risk.

Take care.

VIEWS AND COMMENTS IN THIS BLOG:
All the comments and views expressed in my blog are my thoughts and ideas only. They are based on my FUNDAMENTAL views of the markets and my thoughts on the individuals concerned on how they manage positions in the public domain. In addition, I have my own thoughts and views about what I think goes on behind closed doors. You should NOT base any trade ideas on my thoughts and views alone. As I have said on many occasions in my blog, I am a FUNDAMENTAL trader first, then a TECHNICAL trader second using chart analysis to establish what I believe to be excellent trade entry positions. However, you must make up your own mind and trade at your own risk deciding if the entry levels I refer to actually meet with your views and thoughts. This makes complete sense as the risk in trading your account is 100% owned by you.

THIRD PARTY COMPANIES WITH BANNERS ON MY WEBSITE:
There are a small number of companies with banners on my website. In the interests of full disclosure I have a reciprocal business arrangement with these companies to promote their products. Unlike many of my competitors, I use the products and services provided by these companies. I will NOT allow any third party on my website unless I am 100% happy that they can back up their promise. By virtue of the fact, I work with these companies almost daily. I am more than confident to have them advertise on my website. Any reader who buys products or services from any advertiser via a banner on my website, <a href="http://www.weeklyfxdrivethru.com">www.weeklyfxdrivethru.com</a> will automatically have my help and assistance with any issues that they may have with my partnered advertisers.

TRADING &amp; PERFORMANCES DISCLAIMER:
FLASH, RADAR and FUNDAMENTAL trade set-ups, “Tweets” and “Trade ideas” that are posted in my blogs or on Twitter are trades and set-ups that interest me. They are provided for training and informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as an offer, solicitation or recommendation of any specific security or investment strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading Forex carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade any such leveraged products you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading on margin, and seek advice from an independent financial adviser if you have any doubts.
