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

Paul’s Monday Market Update Returns in 2026!

Hello traders,

I hope you’re well, and have enjoyed this eventful start to 2026!

The Monday Market Update returns for 2026.  We always take a look at the strength & weakness within FX, Indices & Commodities markets. We take a look at a few ‘Charts of Interest’, and then finish up with a look at the live markets. It’s me sharing what I’m looking at which may help you with your own analysis.

You can join the zoom call here at 1230 – FXTrader Pauls Monday Market Update: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89049482054?pwd=YsZoSHNJ2jNvVUUIeBlaBBfSH0CBQI.1

(Please be aware that you will now have to log in to zoom to enter the session due to security issues.)

We will also try livestreaming it through YouTube on the ForexTraderPaul – YouTube

If you’re unable to join the live call then the recording is posted here on the blog, and snippets will be added to the YouTube Channel over the following days.

If there’s a topic, or an instrument you’d like to see me cover then you can ping me before hand at paul@FXTraderPaul.com

Trade well,

Paul

USD Edge – FX Swing Trading Group Mentorship (Q1 2026)

Dolla Holla Trader,

After running the UK intraday sessions throughout 2025, one thing has become very clear:

Intraday trading works — but it’s demanding.
It requires screen time, constant decision-making, and high mental energy.

For many traders, that’s fine in short bursts.
But it’s not always the most sustainable model over months and years.

That’s why, for Q1 2026, I’m opening USD Edge. JOIN HERE

USD Edge is a 10-week FX swing trading group mentorship designed to help traders step back from intraday intensity and build a calm, repeatable process around USD-driven FX markets.

This isn’t about doing more trades.
It’s about making better decisions, less often.

Swing trading allows you to:

  • Work from 4-hour charts, not constant price noise
  • Hold trades for days, not minutes
  • Reduce emotional overtrading
  • Trade alongside work, family, and real life
  • Build a process that doesn’t depend on being glued to screens

Why do this now?

Because Q1 is where trading habits for the year are formed.

If you don’t deliberately change how you trade early in the year, you usually end up repeating the same patterns — just in different market conditions.

USD Edge is designed to help you reset your approach:

  • Clear rules
  • Defined risk
  • Fewer, higher-quality setups
  • A structure you can repeat week after week

Why do this in a small group?

Because progress happens faster when:

  • Your trades are reviewed, not ignored
  • Your thinking is challenged, not reinforced
  • You’re guided by an experienced trader who has seen multiple market cycles play out
  • You’re accountable to a process, not just yourself

This is not a signals room.
Signals are used only as guided trade examples, to explain logic, risk, and management — not as something to blindly follow.

Programme snapshot:

  • Runs: Mid-January → End of March (10 weeks)
  • 2 structured group sessions per week
  • 4 individual 1-to-1 coaching sessions
  • USD-focused FX markets (GBP & EUR secondary)
  • 4-hour timeframe
  • Trading Monday to Thursday only
  • Delivered over Zoom, and via Teachable, just like previous sessions.

Investment:

  • Standard price: £697
  • Founding Cohort: £497 for the first 3 traders only

USD Edge is for traders who want clarity, discipline, and sustainability — not constant activity.

If intraday trading helped you build skills, USD Edge shows you how to build something you can maintain.

Any questions, just ask away. JOIN HERE

Trade well,
Paul

6th Jan: The VTP Trader Accountability Group starts tonight

Hey there Trader,

This is the moment most traders talk themselves out of.

Not because they don’t care —
but because drift always has a good excuse.

The VTP Traders Accountability Group starts tonight at 19:15.

No hype.
No promises.
No noise.

Just weekly structure, accountability, and standards — for traders who don’t want 2026 to become a repeat of last year.

If you want to join us, you can do that here:

👉 https://veterans-trader-project.teachable.com/p/vtptagcourse

Whatever you decide — trade well,

— Paul
