It is with the utmost sadness that we have to report that Si Heath has passed away
Unfortunately, we have been told that Si has passed away. Our deepest sympathies go out to Si’s family at this sad time.
Si had been around from even before my Forexlive days and over the years became one of the ‘regulars’ commenting both there, and now at ForexFlow. He was a very knowledgeable trader and knew fundamentals and politics inside and out, particularly on the UK. One of his major trading strengths was going with momentum, something I often watched with awe as he bought yet another break high or sold another break low. He wore his trades and heart on his sleeve and would often joke how we were all after his stop money if we were the other way to his trades.
Such was Si’s enthusiasm for trading, and being part of the community, that it was a ‘no brainer’ and pleasure to have him writing on the site. Among others, his Brexit posts were clarity for us all. His support for me and this project was immeasurable, as was his support and advice for any trader who asked a question or needed help, both on site and in our live trading room. He was ‘down with the kids’, (and acted like one more often than not) but with that unique British humour. He was someone we learnt from, and who was still eager to learn, even at his age (speculation was rife on that number).
Si wasn’t born into trading, he came from the construction industry originally (even more knowledge gained from him ahead of any construction data) and made his way through trading stocks through to FX. You can read Si’s full bio here. You can see all of Si’s posts here. He was testament to the fact that anyone can learn to trade, not just those that have been in the industry, and that hard work, dedication, learning, self-analysis and discipline can pay off.
As we say in trading, he’s hit his final stop loss and the world is a poorer place for that now. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Si

Safe journey home Si.
Sorry to hear. Always enjoyed and respected his analysis.
Thank you Si, a privilege it has been to have known you.
The trader’s paradise is an ace richer.
Very sad. A great trader. I have learned a lot from him. Rest in peace Si and you will always be remembered by us traders at FFlow.
RIP Si and condolences to his family.
Sorry to hear this sad news. Si’s knowledge and views have massively helped me develop a foundation, starting out in trading FX Markets. I won’t forget his name. Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Si,You will be missed immensely.
Si, one of the best trader I ever knew. And very very helpful, I learned a lot from him. I believe Si now is enjoying the FX Trader’s heaven. Si, RIP!
A gentleman who was willing to share his knowledge. Thank you Si for the kind words and advice you thoughtfully passed on. You will be missed in the trading community and I am sure you will also be missed by your friends and family. May I send condolences to all who knew Si well. You are in my prayers at this time.
I’ll miss Si’s kind advice. Please know that I’ll be praying for you and your family.
Very sad news. RIP Si.
My condolences
My deepest condolences to his family and friends! God Bless him and may open His hug for Si. I did not know the gentleman but all the coments below talk about him. All my prayers will be for his soul.
A very sad day. Right now travelling with Joel Robluchon. I learnt a lot with his comments. Repose en Paix.
I cannot believe this. I was reading his contributions on this site just recently. man…..life is so fragile….its crazy
RIP Si
Sad news indeed. I have already said a prayer for him (am a Baha’i for those who might find that puzzling). I was just thinking this week about how fragile life is and how we should all take time to smell the roses. Life is short so let us all try to be a source of inspiration and betterment for others as Si was. We can’t take material possessions with us when we die but we can leave the kind of legacy Si did–one which touches other people’s lives for the better.
I’m dumbfounded by this sad news. For the little time I spoke to him he was the upmost gentleman and an excellent trader. Condolences to his family. Just goes to show how we should never take even a minute for granted. Blessings be upon Si on the other side. A sad day indeed, there goes one of the best of us.
Very surprised and sad to hear this.
Excellent trader and very nice dude.
Condolences to his family and those who were close to him.
Repose en Paix.
Condolences to Si’s family and trading friends. Sorry for your loss.
What a true gentleman. Always prepared to help and guide us thru the FX maze. I will miss his daily call on cable.Every day he would take the time to explain why he would take a certain position – he had a deep insight to the world of trading, as described so eloquently by Ryan in the post above. My condolences to his family and to his FX mates around the world and especially those on this site. RIP Si
Shocked and saddened to hear of the news!!! Rest well Si… Thanks for the tips and tricks.. All the Econ Book Recommendations which now stuff my book cabinet and laughs along the way.. Rest well Mate.. My Thought are now with SI’s Family!! <3
I’m shocked and saddened greatly 🙁 seems only yesterday we were talking/typing about Brexit. Si was always a gentleman who knew how to play the game but unfortunately we all have to face we all lose in the final minute. My thoughts are with his family and friends and anyone lucky enough to have know him however remotely. So long Si atvb mate Chris
Shocked to read this.
I know I’m late but I just want to share that during my short term with you guys si has been very kind and supportive to everyone without asking anything in return. RIP Si Heath. You will be missed by all of us.
Only found out about this yesterday whilst driving to the game with Mike P. Shocked is the only word I can use. A superb trader who had his own style. An absolute hoot to chat with and we all had tears rolling down our faces with laughter on occasions in the chat room.
He will be sorely missed. RIP Mr flat cap.
ryan are you serious?? I was a big fan of this guy. I don’t know how I missed this news. I am deeply shocked today
I’m afraid so.
