"What should I be buying or selling today?"
Most traders have the theory but struggle to turn it into a real trade idea. This session is about the process — how to scan the macro landscape, find the strongest fundamental drivers, and arrive at a clear, confident bias before markets open.
Here's Exactly How Giles Finds a Fundamental Trading Idea
Every Friday session follows the same five-step process — a repeatable, professional framework you can apply yourself after every session.
Start with the macro calendar
Which economic releases matter this week, and what would a surprise in either direction mean for that currency? Not every release moves markets — Giles shows you how to immediately filter signal from noise.
Assess central bank expectations
What are rate markets pricing in right now? Has anything shifted since the last meeting? Currency pairs move on rate divergences — this step tells you which currencies have the wind behind them.
Layer in news and sentiment
What are central bankers actually saying? What's the dominant market narrative? Are there risk-off themes, geopolitical events, or positioning stories distorting the picture?
Check the options market
Where does implied volatility say price is likely to go this week? Are there key levels the market is protecting? Option market data gives you a window into institutional expectations.
Build the bias
Pull it all together into a clear view: which currency is fundamentally strongest right now, and which pair gives the cleanest expression of that idea? That's your trading idea for the week.
Every Friday, you watch this process happen in real time — on live markets, with real data, in under 30 minutes.
