Over the past year a number of traders have said something similar to me.

They would like more opportunities to spend time around other serious traders.

Trading is a curious profession. Most of the time it’s just you, your screens and your own thinking. And while that independence is one of the attractions of trading, it can also mean you spend a lot of time trying to solve problems in isolation.

Yet when traders actually sit down together and talk markets, something useful tends to happen.

Ideas sharpen.
Blind spots get exposed.
And traders often leave with a perspective they didn’t have before.

With the recent increase in volatility across markets — particularly around developments involving Iran and energy markets — it feels like a good moment to bring traders together to compare notes.

So I’ve decided to run something a little different.

A NorthWest Traders Roundtable – Q1 Working Session.

Friday 27 March
Wirral
1pm – 5pm

The format is simple.

A small group of active traders in the same room discussing markets, tactics and execution.

It’s not a seminar and it’s not a beginner session.

This is aimed at traders who are already operating in the markets and would benefit from sharing ideas and perspectives with others.

To make the discussion useful, attendees are encouraged to bring one chart or trade they would like the room’s thoughts on.

The afternoon will include discussion around:

• the current market environment
• recent trades and charts
• tactics and execution
• open roundtable conversation

And of course we’ll continue the discussion afterwards over a drink for anyone who wants to stay on.

Seats are limited to keep the room focused and high quality.

The investment is £197 per seat.

If you’re based in the NorthWest and the idea of spending an afternoon around other committed traders appeals to you, you can see the details here:

It would be good to bring a strong room of traders together to close out Q1 properly.

Hello Traders,

***Apologies to those who joined the live session today – the tech and audio were just not playing ball, so I cancelled the session and re-recorded it. Sorry for any inconvenience.***

Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few ‘charts of interest’ thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service – just what I am looking at and interested in.

Today we looked at; FX STAM, Energy Sector ETF ($XLE), BAE Systems ($BA.) Lockheed Martin Corporation ($LMT), Leonardo Spa ($LDO), Goldman Sachs Group ($GS), Jefferies Financial Group ($JEF).

We also covered the usual suspects: $DJIA, $NDX, $SPY, $RTY, $DAX, $FTSE, $N225, $WTI, $XAUUSD, $XAGUSD, $BTCUSD, $USD, $DXY, $JPY, $AUD, $CHF, $NZD and $GBP.

Have a great trading week. We return next week at 1230.

Trade well,

Paul

Over the past year, one request keeps coming up:

“How can I be around more serious traders?”

So we’re making it happen.

On Friday 27th March, we’re bringing traders from across the NorthWest together on the Wirral for a focused half-day session — a strong way to close out Q1 2026 with clarity, confidence and better tactics.

Time: 1pm–5pm

The afternoon will include:

• Practical new trading tactics
• Structured coaching and mentoring
• Honest discussion around execution, discipline and edge
• Time afterwards to socialise and build genuine trading relationships

Trading is often a solo pursuit.
Performance improves in the right room.

Being around other committed traders raises standards.
Sharpens thinking.
Reveals blind spots faster.

Investment: £197
Early Bird: £97 for the first 3 places only.

Finish Q1 properly. Step into Q2 sharper.

Dolla Holla Trader,

A quick note as we head into the weekend.

USD Edge starts on Monday 2nd February.

If you’ve been considering joining the Q1 FX swing trading group, this is the point where a decision is needed — not because of hype or pressure, but because the group is about to begin.

USD Edge is for traders who want:

• A calm, repeatable FX swing process
• USD-focused markets
• 4H charts
• Fewer trades, better decisions
• A small group with structure and accountability

Details are here if you want to take a final look:
