James Stanley has been an Active Trader of multiple markets including FX, ETF's, Equities, and Options.  James has seen and traded nearly all market types.

James has further developed and refined his approach while working for some of the largest banks and brokerage houses in the United States.

DailyFX has proudly showcased James as a model of how to approach markets with the right mental approach while keeping abreast of price action and when we send him abroad to speak to crowds, he is always a big hit. One little secret that I'm not sure James knows is that his book recommendations are some of my most coveted. In other words, if he's recommended it to me, I likely own the book in multiple formats. I've long respected James' trading, risk management, and unique way of teaching traders how to read price action amid the fundamental noise.

It’s easy for traders to think of 'the trade' that will make or break their month, quarter, or year. Yet, at DailyFX, we have found that a process is the best way to put the odds in your favor. This show breaks down the three steps that we’ve identified ask critical in building a successful trading process that reduces the need for traders to rely on one event with an uncertain outcome as dictating success or failure that must be repeated over and over again.

The global FX outlook is rapidly losing clarity without certainty of the outcome of multiple key developments. The market’s prior trends that have lasted through quarters, and is some case years are in doubt. To start, the outcome of Brexit is increasingly a possible no-deal, Crude is now in a bear market, the Trade War has a new wrinkle thanks to US VP Pence, Fed Pricing in 2019 is showing Powell yielding to upcoming risks, and most recently, the golden child of corporate debt known as Investment Grade is seen by a few celebrity hedge fund managers as ground zero for the next source of unexpected losses. These are the key themes that we explain with a key market to watch uncovered at the end for you to watch as a gauge to see if any of the events are playing out as feared.

We all know by now that data can be incredible power and the insights it gives you can be unparalleled. A few years back DailyFX ran through 43 million live trades over the span of a year to find out what separated the likely profitable from the likely unprofitable.

Our answer surprised even us as it’s easy to think that knowing were markets will likely be tomorrow as the key determinant of success.

Rather we found that a simple risk: reward ratio can be the difference between only a 17% chance of being profitable at the end of 12-months vs. a 53% chance.

If you’re a new trader or a struggling experienced trader, this is likely a show you can’t miss.

Crude Oil has been in the spotlight alongside trade wars in 2018. The ~23% breakdown from four-year highs in early October was not without warning signs, and the sharp drop could be a sign of things to come if a drop in demand is the cause. Sr. Analyst, Tyler Yell, CMT walks the audience through the key factors for the drop in Crude and why a reversal may be hard to come by this time.

The EUR/USD hit 16-month lows on Monday as the price fell to $1.1242 after a combination of events led traders to re-price what may be ahead. Key among the factors were the comments from Mario Draghi that “if things were to get worse, we can always extend the period of time, we can always change our forward guidance.”

Much of the market’s view on EUR has been focused on Quantitative Tightening from the ECB and a possible move out of a zero-bound interest rate policy (ZIRP) in mid-2019. A change from this path compounded by Italian budget problems could keep EUR offered and USD bid.

In other news, crude oil is a headline for all the wrong reasons. Last week, the major energy commodity entered bear market territory prompting OPEC to argue that a cut is necessary only for US president Trump to claim they should not do so as cheapening of oil may be risk positive (paraphrase on my part.)

Lastly, a technical view shows that US Dollar bears should remain wary of jumping in too early as driving forces for a stronger US Dollar remain in play.
