I have found Felix's emails helpful. I do not trade based on what he says, but rather it helps me understand how the news might effect certain currencies. He seems to be open about his bad days as well as his good days. I appreciate that he continues to bring new trading strategies to my attention, and sometimes gives them away for free. His free trading videos are also helpful. Considering that his emails are free, I don't mind that he is a merchant and just trying to make a living.
