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).

You can follow my charts on TradingView at FXTraderPaul: https://bit.ly/FXTPVIEW

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

NorthWest Traders Network – Trading Afternoon – Friday 27th March | Wirral

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.

Starting Monday: USD Edge (Q1 FX Swing Trading)

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:

If you’ve got a question, reply to paul@fxtraderpaul.com

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

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.
