Frequently asked questions

No. MacroSetup publishes general market research, and everyone sees the same analysis. It does not know your situation and does not tell you what to buy or sell. Trading currencies on margin carries a high risk of losing money. Read the risk disclosure

No. Setups show where the macro gap between two currencies is widest this week. There are no entry prices, stops or targets. Timing and risk management are up to you.

A strength meter measures how currencies have already moved. MacroSetup scores what drives them: central bank policy, economic data, risk sentiment and geopolitics. Every score comes with the reasons behind it, and recent price strength counts for only 5 of the 100 points.

Four pillars add up to a score from 0 to 100: risk sentiment (up to 40 points), fundamentals (35), geopolitics (20) and price strength this week (5). The exact scoring rules stay in-house, but every score comes with the reasons and sources behind it. Read the methodology

MacroSetup focuses on forex: the eight major currencies (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, NZD and CAD) and the 28 currency pairs between them. See the markets covered

The research is checked every hour on trading days, and updated as soon as new data or news, such as a central bank decision, changes the picture. Every week starts with a full outlook on Sunday, before the market opens.

No. Every score comes with a short plain-English explanation, and the methodology page explains how to read scores, pairs and setups.

Every trading day, the top 3 setups of that day are checked on price: from the opening of the London session after they were published to the next opening. A setup counts as right when the pair moved in its direction. Every day is shown, the misses included, and past results do not predict future ones. How the track record works

The research is the same for every trader. High-impact news is flagged a day ahead, which helps if your prop firm limits trading around news releases, and the risk calculator works with the rules of your own challenge.

Yes, swing trading is where it fits best. The research looks at the trading week, so the reason a currency is strong or weak holds for days, about as long as a swing trade lasts. When that reason changes, the research says so, which tells you when to look at the position again. Entries, exits and risk stay your own. How swing traders use it

Yes. A free account costs nothing and needs no card. It shows EUR/USD and USD/JPY in full every week, two pairs of the week that change every Monday, the economic calendar with its outcomes and the central banks. Premium adds everything else. Free and Premium side by side

EUR/USD and USD/JPY in full, every week. Two pairs of the week, new every Monday. The economic calendar with every outcome. Central banks, their rates and next meetings. The risk sentiment score and the warnings. Price strength of the eight majors. The prop firm account tracker and the calculators. The track record, a week behind. The pairs of the week follow a fixed schedule, never the scores, so they are not a pick.

$29 per month, or $290 per year, which is ten months' price, so two months free. After the year it continues at $29 a month. Prices are in US dollars, and Premium starts with 14 days free. See pricing

Not for a free account. For Premium, yes: the 14 free days start once you add a card at checkout, and nothing is charged during them.

Unless you cancel, the plan you chose starts by itself: the first payment, $29 for a month or $290 for a year, is taken when the 14 days are over. We email you a reminder two to three days before.

Yes. Cancel on the Subscription page in your account before the 14 days are over and nothing is charged. Your account then simply stays Free.

Yes. Premium can be cancelled whenever you like, and your access runs until the end of the period you paid for. After that your account stays Free.

Cancel in the 14 free days and nothing is charged: as a consumer in the EU your 14-day right of withdrawal starts when you choose Premium and add your card, so it runs alongside the free days and ends when the first payment is taken. If you forgot to cancel, write to us within 3 days of that first payment and we refund it in full, once per person; after that, a period that has started is not refunded and you keep access until it ends. Read the cancellation and refund policy

Sometimes. A running offer shows at the top of the site, and partners may share a code of their own. A code you claim is taken off the price of the plan you choose.

Yes. MacroSetup runs in the browser on your phone, tablet and computer, with nothing to install. Your licence covers your own devices.

There is no password to remember: you sign in with your Google account or with a one-time code sent to your email.

No. Each subscription is a personal licence for one person. You can use it on your computer and your phone, and we record which devices sign in, so a shared account stands out.

Your email address is used for your account and for signing in. Payments are handled by a payment provider, so MacroSetup never sees your full card details. Your data is never sold. Read the privacy policy
