ANALYSIS DESK
Plan both sides before price moves.
Pick a market, note what could push it either way and decide what would change your mind. It is a calmer way to prepare than chasing the last candle.
- ✓ EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, XAU/USD, DXY and AUD/USD
- ✓ Bullish, neutral, bearish and stay-out scenarios
- ✓ Clear prices and dates on every study
- ✓ A simple review after the move
