</ol>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past 3 –4 months, I have been playing with the structure of this blog trying to achieve a balance between what is “FREE FOR ALL” versus what stays behind “CLOSED DOORS” for my PREMIUM SERVICE subscribers. I think that after input from a variety of sources I may finally be there with the format that works and covers all objectives.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What a week that was....</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I wrote last in the blog about TRUMP being the modern-day ELLIOT CARVER, and whilst the post was a tongue in cheek observation of TRUMPS’s influence, I am starting to think that he is actually dominating the world’s news far more than I thought even 7 days ago!</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For the love of God, who is going to win the contract for installing revolving doors at the White House entrance? Because, he needs them installed.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I approach this not from the point that people are moved on, that happens, it’s the quantity and the TRUMP comments that follow each exit makes him sound like he just wants to be surrounded by “YES” men. TRUMP is obviously a massive micro meddler and control freak. If you recall during his election campaign he often said that he alone would fix things, it would be just him. He was often pulled up on these statements and challenged and the questions just moved on to another subject. It does appear it’s his way or the highway at the White House. Despite how big an ego TRUMP has, he cannot manage the world.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a massive failing, especially with roles that extend into working with different countries like the Secretary of State. How on earth are people expected to develop relationships across countries and cultures if they are not given any longevity? It appears the only thing that TRUMP wants is 100% “YES” people. This is a really bad policy to run with and over time the U.S. will suffer. As far as I am aware, TRUMP cannot cast a net in a river to feed 5,000 people, nor can he turn water into wine.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With all of that said... it’s Tillerson out, Kudlow in and McMaster ordering boxes to pack up his personal effects. The TRUMP presidency is NOT going to change, the markets really don't care but I feel that eventually it will all catch up one way or another.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Plus...</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The EUROZONE, mainly Barnier and Junker are riding very close to the edge, pushing the extremes to the UK government over BREXIT and how the EU / UK relationship would look from an EU perspective. Whilst, UK Prime Minister’s Theresa May’s recent speech was to outline the vision that the UK government had of the relationship between the EU and UK post BREXIT, it has been poo-poo’d by both Barnier and Junker.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I would think there will be a number of hardline BREXIT MP’s putting two fingers into the air saying basically “f*ck them”, lets walk away pay nothing and let’s see how they (the EU) get on without a huge trade partner. I would say emergency trade agreements in lines of the existing EU deal, but with a new “header” are printed up ready to be signed and implemented, bypassing the EUROZONE.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We must remember the base makeup of the EU. The EU is largely full of its own self-importance with non-elected bureaucrats based in Brussels, who are basically pen pushers without any big picture vision. You just have to look at the response to the TRUMP tariffs to see how they miss the point and focus on the wrong battle. Car tariffs are a great example, basically EU cars into the U.S. rate = 2.5%. U.S. cars into the EU = 10%. Whether you like TRUMP or not, this is NOT a level playing field.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving on...</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">BREXIT was overshadowed a little by the alleged Russian chemical agent attack on UK soil. This story will gather a pace as time moves forward as France, Germany and the U.S. now support the UK in their political moves against Russia.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to FX...</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Trading this past week has been a nightmare for myself. I have given back some pips, although I have not traded very actively at all. The markets have mainly been slow and painful in tight ranges for most of last week as the FX markets began to consolidate ahead of the FOMC this week. We have seen the odd break here and there but to be honest most of the time we have remained range bound.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One important piece to note however is that the JPY has strengthen this week whilst the rest really remained range bound. I can only think that this is a safe haven play with all the geopolitical events hanging over the markets at the moment.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, one can see that RISK OFF is creeping back into the markets. Commodity currencies are weakening, and the commodity cross rates are now moving and gathering a pace after having sold off last week.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To place matters into context, with regards to my trading performance, I have had such a good start to 2018, I should NOT complain about one poor week in isolation.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>2.4. USD OVERVIEW – MY THOUGHTS:</u></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The DXY as you can see from the chart below is in a downtrend. Recently, in fact, the past few days in the run up to this weeks FED meeting, the USD has come to life.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My thoughts are contained on the chart below&gt;</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, a rate hike should give us a spike higher towards trend line resistance, maybe the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and previous support level that should act as resistance.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I expect around this level to contain prices and the DXY then resume its downside move to re-test 88.00 again and, in my opinion, a continued move lower to 80.00.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DXY-DAILY-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11251" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DXY-DAILY-17032018-1024x493.png" alt="" width="1024" height="493" /></a>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>2.5. USD TRADING CHARTS:</u></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>EUR/USD:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Monthly chart below shows this pair moving lower towards some key support areas. The 1.2090 area is what I consider the break out area that forced the last move higher. Ahead of that there is great interest around the 1.2150-60 area.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As we approach the FOMC with the 95% chance of an interest rate increase in the FED Funds rate on the cards, markets may be bringing the pair into the middle of the recent trading range of 1.2100 to 1.2550.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/EURUSD-M-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11162" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/EURUSD-M-17032018-1024x485.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>GBP/USD:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">From the Daily chart below it is clear to see that 1.4000 is a stiff resistance level. On several occasions it would be fair to say that sellers have stepped in aggressively as soon as the level comes into view.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> With the FOMC this week, it looks like a buying opportunity will be provided as we pullback into Jerome Powell’s press conference and the economic dot plots!</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One would have to say that 1.3800 looks an easy target for bears.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/GBPUSD-DAILY-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11163" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/GBPUSD-DAILY-17032018-1024x485.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>AUD/USD:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The China Tariff and duty trade is in play here. As soon as someone mentions issues with China as a trader you should think AUD.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The AUD is moving lower with uncertainty added to the already stronger USD overall move.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Weekly chart below shows support at the trend line around 0.7600. The Weekly candle on the chart looks VERY bearish.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If the China trade gathers momentum, this pair could re-test lows around 0.7200 without any problem at all in my opinion.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AUDUSD-WEEKLY-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11161" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AUDUSD-WEEKLY-17032018-1024x485.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>NZD/USD:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">From the Daily chart below, it is clear that resistance around 0.7350 is quite stiff. We are now moving lower and my “DOUBLE TOP” pattern measured move will soon come into play.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I am bearish the Kiwi dollar and have been for over a year now. I still see the John Key, ex. Prime Minister target low at 0.6500 a real target once again.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/NZDUSD-DAILY-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11164" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/NZDUSD-DAILY-17032018-1024x485.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>USD/CAD:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This pair has had an explosive move higher on the back of BOC Governor Stephen Poloz, dovish comments, the NAFTA agreement issues and TRUMP comments contradicting those of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It looks like 1.3200 move could be on the cards, especially if there is a HAWKISH USD response to Jerome Powell this week.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On the attached Weekly chart below you can see that the 2015 Trend line resistance comes into play just below 1.3200. I would expect prices to hold here, if they don't, look out above! Should prices hold, it could be a great spot to enter.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDCAD-W-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-11165" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDCAD-W-17032018-1024x485.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>USD/CHF:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see on the Monthly chart below, the triangle pattern is “RIPE” for a breakout. My thought process is a long side breakout towards parity once again.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a range in play, which I have been following of late which is from 0.9190 to 0.9850. I am a little reluctant to aggressively trade the CHF given its flight to safety and neutrality attraction.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As PREMIUM SERVICE subscribers are aware, I am long GBP/CHF and have the EUR/CHF close by.</span>

&nbsp;

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDCHF-M-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11166" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDCHF-M-17032018.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>USD/JPY:</strong></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The triangle breakdown measured move play is still valid. This pair has been highly responsive of late with flight to safety also playing a part in my opinion.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I expect a spike following the FOMC, which should be viewed as a selling opportunity.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDJPY-WEEKLY-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11167" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/USDJPY-WEEKLY-17032018.png" alt="" width="1024" height="485" /></a>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>4.1. TRADING REVIEW:</u></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I suppose I had to have a bad run of trades. Although last week I was not trading much, I felt that every time I touched the keyboard I was committing myself to give $$$ back to the brokers.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On the positive side, I have my TRADE PLAN in my mind for how I am going to trade the FOMC. I am OK with all the trades I entered last week, there will be losing trades, it was the two USD/CAD trades (POS734 and POS736), that I just cannot understand why I did not stop them before they got started. Every other trade I can live with. I took the hit on the CAD trades last Friday.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving on...</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week was a strange week. We had the usual TRUMPANTICS, as he continues to dominate the markets. WE are in a news driven environment at the moment, which is awkward to say the least as both TECHNICALS and FUNDAMENTALS appear not to matter. Thankfully, if that is the correct word, the FX market for most of last week was asleep.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I am really happy with my trades, GREEN or RED at the moment as I feel with increased USD strength, I have the opportunity to cash in on a few pips. I am also ready to switch into USD weakness when the timing is right. I am frightened about always repeating myself but from now to the FOMC press conference patience will be required.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I think that FX will just sleep, and the majors will really just move to the mid-range areas ahead of Jerome Powell. So, Monday and Tuesday next week, unless we have TRUMP imploding on Tariffs, China or North Korea, I am not expecting much at all.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>4.2. SENTIMENT,</u><u> FUNDAMENTAL &amp; MACRO THOUGHTS</u><u>:

</u></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>4.2.1. OVERVIEW THOUGHTS (MY MACRO PLAN &amp; IDEAS):</u></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The FOMC has taken over all thoughts FX.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My fundamental thoughts have not alerted. I am now more convinced that I am on the right track and as we approach the FED meeting and the FOMC press conference my commodity cross rates are moving into position to hopefully blast higher next week.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I am now looking at the areas I need to get long EUR/USD and GBP/USD and short USD/JPY and USD/CAD plus the associated cross rates.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As mentioned last week, I think that we are once again heading into a transition period with the market.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The USD “SENTIMENT CHART” is still not perfectly aligned, which is quite surprising given the directional moves we saw towards the end of last week.</span>

<a href="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/SENTIMENT-17032018.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11148" src="https://weeklyfxdrivethru.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/SENTIMENT-17032018.png" alt="" width="785" height="1024" /></a>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>4.2.2. OPEN TRADES...HOW I WILL APPROACH THE MARKET THIS WEEK:</u></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I am simply preparing for FOMC trades.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I enter the week with AUD/CAD and NZD/CAD short trades in $$$ and I am going to try to hold these through the FOMC. They are more a China Tariff play.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The EUR/AUD long is now a flat trade. I am hoping that this will power on next week for a 200-300 pips gain.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The position trades, GBP/NZD (2) and EUR/NZD I intend to cover these hopefully in $$$ prior to the FOMC. Whilst one could call them commodity cross rate trades, certainly the GBP related trades will usually follow the GBP. I expect the GBP to dip hard after the FOMC. I removed the GBP/CHF position trade last Friday, simply on the back of the fact its allegiance is more GBP than CHF. In fact, it’s more EUR/GBP inverted, and the EUR/GBP could act very strangely next week. Therefore, it made 100% sense to me to remove this trade.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have a remaining NZD/USD position trade, which will remain in play.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The AUD/NZD trades we forget about them for now.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I see USD strength followed by weakness probably for at least couple of sessions, maybe into the following week.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">It all depends on the forward guidance given from Jerome Powell and what the economic projections show.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As always, the headlines will focus on: - How many rate hikes and where is inflation?</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With regards to adding trades, I have my eyes on AUD/USD and NZD/USD short trades into the FOMC. JPY cross rate trades will be very much post FOMC, along with any CAD trades and any limit orders that are in position ready to go.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I cannot express how big a meeting this in for the FED and Jerome Powell, I have been lucky in being able to remove a lot of RISK ahead of the meeting with pips and $$$. Had I not been a bloody idiot with the USD/CAD it would have been 250 pips better again!!</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, just THINK.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What happens if the markets deem the FED Funds Rate increase to be a DOVISH hike?</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Frankly, I cannot see this given that they should be announcing that all is on course for 3 or 4 rate hikes in 2018....but what happens if?</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This reason alone, is a good enough one, to reduce your RISK exposure.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>4.4. FX BROKER NEWS and MARKET FEEDBACK:</u></span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I have had a couple of questions of late about the types of accounts offered by some brokers. These questions have been related to what type of account.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">RAW ECN or a STANDARD STP account?</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, I see it quite simply as follows and it is a case of each to his or her own.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">RAW ECN tend to be zero rate spreads, but you pay a commission separately on each trade. Unless you are trading an account over USD$100,000.00, I would not be bothered.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">STP ACCOUNTS are the usual pay as go; you pay the fees in the initial spread as the trade triggers. What you see is what you get.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One can get very anal vis-à-vis a trade may not always trigger on a STP account whereas the RAW account it will trigger because there are no rate spreads to consider.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion, it’s all about your preferences on paying broker fees.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Nothing more to add here, I have said enough except,</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">As usual…</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Always remember longevity in Forex trading can only be achieved through trading with good RISK and MONEY MANAGEMENT, and above all set your position sizes in accordance with the size of your account and allow for some flexibility.</span>
