As we move toward the Weekend Pacific opening, expect early pricing to reflect geopolitical risk.
This is likely to begin as an oil-led move, driven by supply restriction concerns and broad risk-off positioning.
Expected Order of Play (If Risk-Off Extends)
Risk Assets Lower:
US Equity Indices Emerging Markets AUD CAD
Defensive Assets Higher:
Oil Gold USD
Watch the USD bid (excluding JPY) as your real risk barometer. If USD strengthens broadly beyond just USDJPY, that confirms genuine capital protection flows rather than a temporary knee-jerk reaction.
Important: Gap Risk Environment
This is classic geopolitical gap risk.
If you are not experienced trading event-driven opens, tonight is not the night to “learn.”
Fading gaps requires:
- Serious liquidity and margin capacity
- Precise risk management
- Historical understanding of war-driven gap dynamics (Ukraine, Iraq, Iran episodes)
- An informed view on escalation probabilities
- Reports regarding GCC involvement adding further complexity.
Perspective
There are roughly 250 trading days in a year.
You do not need to trade tonight.
Remember Rule #1: Always live to fight another day.
GBP getting dumped across the board the morning. Markets hate uncertainty….and I wonder if, like me, they’re simply freaked out by the thought of a “dream-team” of Rayner & Miliband replacing Starmer & Reeves. 🤦♂️🤬🤡 $GBP

Help Shape Q1 2026 Trader Coaching
As we plan support for Q1, I want your input — not assumptions.
A few ideas we’re considering:
- Q1 Group Mentoring (skill-building + accountability)
- ARRSE-style intraday trading sessions
- Trader Coach Clinics (bring charts, questions, execution issues)
But the real question is:
👉 What would help you most over the next 90 days?
Where are you stuck?
What kind of support would genuinely improve your trading?
Drop your thoughts below — short and honest is perfect.
The aim for Q1 is simple:
better process, better execution, better traders.

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:
👉 veterans-trader-project.teachable.com/p/vtptagcour…
Whatever you decide — trade well,
— Paul
