How it works

We do the reading. You keep the decision.

WatchTower gathers the intelligence institutions run on, corroborates it across sources, and turns it into a clear read on every asset. It never tells you where to enter, where to stop, or how much to risk, that part stays entirely yours.

01 / Gather

Everything, every morning.

Bank research from 30+ institutions, cross-asset newswires, CFTC and retail positioning, central-bank expectations, economic releases and seasonality, pulled in continuously across the whole tracked universe of G10 FX, metals and global indices. Nothing you'd have to open a dozen terminals and inboxes to assemble yourself.

02 / Corroborate & score

Cross-checked, normalised, distilled.

Headlines are corroborated across multiple wires before they're trusted. Bank reports are read and their thesis, conviction, target and direction extracted. Positioning, stance, fundamentals and seasonality are normalised onto a common scale. The result is a single composite score per asset, with every input, and the written reasoning behind it, shown on the page.

03 / Decide

Your call, better informed.

You start the session with the whole macro picture already in front of you, the read at a glance, the depth on demand. Where you enter, where you place your stop and how much you risk are yours alone. WatchTower sharpens the judgement; it doesn't replace it.

The score, in the open

Six inputs. One number. Nothing hidden.

Every asset's composite score is built from the same six components, each shown with its own sub-score so you can see precisely what's driving the read and where the inputs disagree.

Central-bank stance

Where the relevant central bank sits, restrictive, neutral or accommodative, its distance from neutral, and its expected next move.

COT positioning

Speculative net positioning from the CFTC report, its 52-week percentile and the direction of the latest weekly shift.

Retail sentiment

Where the retail crowd is leaning, often most useful precisely where it's most one-sided.

Bank research

The aggregated directional view extracted from institutional reports covering the asset.

Fundamentals

The macro data flow, growth, inflation, labour and activity, versus forecast and trend.

Seasonality

The asset's historical tendency over the period ahead, across multiple lookback windows.

The principle

Intelligence, not signals.

There are plenty of services that will tell you to buy here and sell there. WatchTower is deliberately not one of them. It exists to give you the same information advantage the desks have, the research, the positioning, the macro context, and then get out of your way.

You won't find entry signals, stop levels or position sizes anywhere in the terminal, because those depend on your strategy, your risk and your account, none of which a screen can know. What you'll find is a clearer, faster, more complete read of the market than you could assemble alone, so the decisions you make are your own, just better informed.

WatchTower is an educational and research tool. Nothing in it is financial advice.
