Weekly Update – Market First, Everything Else Follows
AUD/CHF continues to test patience. If we can finally clear 0.53 and hold, then 0.54 isn’t a big ask. We keep revisiting 0.53 — sooner or later (evidently later) that door will give way.
The EAs are working away in the background and we were in and out of GBPUSD during the week. CHFJPY has a small DD but began turning back in our favour on Friday.
24.45% YTD remains solid, though this month hasn’t had the same kick as October — that’s just the nature of trading. The drawdown bounced around during the week but finished in a healthy enough place.
I added another €14,000 of my own capital into Blackwave this week. It achieves a few things.
- That Airbnb rental income money is “just resting in my account” (Irish joke) and doing nothing, so this puts it to work. If you’re smart you have just made the connection. Forex trading = Airbnb’s = More Forex Trading = More Airbnb’s.
- More capital means more compounding — simple maths.
- If I’m aiming to buy additional property in 2026, the 20% deposit has to come from somewhere, and this approach makes sense.
- And fundamentally, if the newly built EAs aren’t for sale and I believe in their performance, then logically I should be increasing my own allocation too.
I now have over €80K of Blackwave’s own money running through the EAs so we are well on the way back to €100,000. If existing clients are expected to have the confidence to add funds — or new clients are expected to bet on me — then I sure as hell need to continue investing in myself first. That’s exactly what I’m doing.
On a related matter, the Dubai brokers are burning up my phone ever since I made property enquiries. I’m not ready yet, but I did book a one-bed near Dubai Marina for a week in February. Time to put boots on the ground and get a real feel for the place.
So, all steady and growing. No big deal.
