Morning · Midday · Evening, every trading day

Most market commentary
cannot be wrong.
Ours has to be.

Eight instruments, three briefs a day, and a question with an actual number in it that the next brief comes back to. Underneath sits the research on nine subsectors, and training that teaches you to read all of it yourself.

Who is behind it

Written by someone who does both

MacroTradeIQ is written by an expert in investment and trading, and in the enterprise technology industry, with over a decade in each. The briefs are generated by a system built for the purpose, and the questions in them are computed rather than opinions dressed up as numbers.

No trading results, returns, or account performance are published on this site, and none are implied by anything above.
