We combine CFTC positioning, seasonality, valuation, macro economics, intermarket context and market structure to give you a clear, evidence-based view — Long, Short or Wait on 38 FX pairs and CFD markets.
Official and public sources only · updated hourly · analysis and education, not financial advice. Manage your risk.
17 research markets with weekly CFTC positioning.
From data to a clear trading bias — the same routine the terminal walks a member through every session. Each step is one tab; each tab is one job.
Risk-on or risk-off, what the dollar and yields are doing, and which red events land today.
Every research read — positioning, seasonality, valuation, macro, intermarket, trend — composed into one verdict.
The area of interest to enter from, the target and the invalidation drawn on D1 / H4 / H1 CFD candles — and whether price is there yet.
Ask the AI Analyzer about the data behind the read, and compare with the desk's own weekly charts.
Pick a part of the terminal to see what it does. The frames are the real components with demo data.
For each market you get a clear Long, Short or Wait verdict with full evidence from all six research reads. No guessing, no black box — when the reads disagree, the split is shown, never smoothed over.
We use official and public data sources with a clear update schedule, so you always know what is included in the analysis — and how old it is.
| Data source | Update frequency |
|---|---|
| COT positioning (CFTC) | Weekly · Friday release |
| Rates & yields (Federal Reserve, FRED) | Daily |
| Inflation & jobs (OECD, BIS) | Monthly, on release |
| Prices, seasonality, valuation | 3× daily · 06:00 / 12:00 / 18:00 UTC |
| Macro regime & economies | Hourly, and after every red event |
| Economic calendar | Every 15 minutes |
| Market Trend charts (Dukascopy) | After every H4 close · 6× daily |
Every number is read from an official or public source — CFTC, the Federal Reserve, FRED, OECD, BIS, Dukascopy — and each module names it and shows when it was refreshed.
Nothing here is a fixed claim that can quietly go stale. Every refresh is logged and its schedule is visible inside the terminal, so you always know how fresh a read is.
The same six reads, the same thresholds and the same verdict rules for every market. No performance promises: disagreement is shown as Wait, never smoothed into a score.

38 pairs and CFDs get a verdict and charts: the 7 FX majors, 21 crosses, gold, silver, copper, Bitcoin, US500, NAS100, US30, WTI crude, natural gas and the dollar index. Underneath sit 17 research markets with weekly CFTC positioning, ten-year seasonality and valuation — a pair's read is composed from its legs, so EUR/JPY is read from the euro and the yen.
The CFTC's weekly Commitments of Traders report for positioning; the Federal Reserve and FRED for rates, yields and US macro series; OECD and BIS for inflation, jobs and policy rates across nine economies; a public weekly calendar feed for releases; Dukascopy's public datafeed for the CFD candles behind Market Trend; and a free chart feed for daily price history. Each module names its source and shows when it was refreshed.
Pro unlocks the full terminal: Home, Symbol Analysis, Market Trend, COT Positioning, Seasonality, Valuation & Yields, Intermarket, Macro Economics, Market Overview with the desk's weekly charts, live sessions and the Discord community. Pro+ includes everything in Pro plus the credit-based AI Analyzer chat.
There's no permanent free tier — the terminal shell is public (you can see the real headline stat tiles and layout without an account), but the module data itself unlocks with a Pro or Pro+ subscription. See the board for yourself at /dashboard before subscribing.
Six independent reads — contrarian CFTC positioning, seasonality, valuation, the macro regime, intermarket confirmation and market structure on the chart — each lean Bullish, Bearish or Neutral. Symbol Analysis composes them into a 0–100 bias for the pair and states Long setup, Short setup or Wait; it is marked Favourable only when at least 60% of the reads agree and the bias isn't weak. Home lists the strongest reads of the day. When reads disagree, the split is shown, never smoothed over.
No. It scores positioning, seasonality, and macro conditions and shows you where they agree or conflict. Position sizing, risk, and the decision to enter remain entirely yours — this is analysis, not advice.
No — on purpose. Market Trend is a snapshot rebuilt after every H4 candle close (six times a day, 15 minutes past 00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00 UTC) on CFD candles, so every member looks at the same chart with the same zones and levels until the next close. Prices, macro and the calendar refresh on their own schedules, all visible in the terminal.
Yes — every module has a responsive layout, dense data tables reflow into cards on small screens, and the terminal runs in any modern mobile browser.
Yes — subscriptions are managed through Stripe's billing portal, accessible from your account page, and can be canceled at any time.
No. SMC Terminal surfaces real positioning and macro data for your own analysis — it isn't a signal service and nothing here should be treated as investment advice.
Use a research-driven approach with all six reads, the desk's charts and an AI Analyzer to make better decisions — for every market you trade.
