TALKING SH*T FROM THE SAUNA

Every morning · FX board

FX Playbook

The daily forex board: the 7 tracked pairs, where leveraged money is crowded, the widest carry spreads, the central-bank calendar, and the day's research setups. Everything is drawn from public data, so you can check the work yourself.

Research signals, not financial advice. Forex is leveraged and you can lose more than you put in. Nothing here is a recommendation to trade. Size every idea from your own risk rules, never from how strong a move feels.

How to read the board

What each panel tells you

FX pairs

Seven tracked currency pairs with price, day change from the previous close and the day's range. Quotes come from Yahoo Finance.

COT crowding

From the CFTC's weekly Commitments of Traders report: how heavily leveraged money is positioned in yen futures, as a share of open interest, and how that changed week over week. Extreme readings flag a crowded trade.

Carry spreads

The interest-rate gap between two currencies. Wide spreads pay you to hold the higher-yielding side, until risk appetite turns and carry trades unwind together.

Central-bank calendar

Upcoming rate decisions for the Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan and Bank of England. This is the one list we curate by hand, refreshed quarterly.
