It will not time your entry. It will tell you where to look
Nothing here is an intraday tool. There is no alert, no trigger and no moment to click. What macro does for a day trader is narrow the screen before the session starts: which pairs have two currencies pulling in opposite directions, which side the week leans, and which minutes carry event risk.

Ten minutes before the session

Which side, per currency
The ranking is rebuilt every morning, before the London open. You are looking for the top of it and the bottom of it, not the middle, and the pairs that put those two together.
- 2
Which minutes to avoid
Every high-impact release for both currencies in a setup, with the time. That is the window where spreads widen, stops get taken at prices that never showed on your chart, and a prop firm rule applies.

Which pairs to drop
A pair with two currencies on similar scores has no macro behind it today. That is a perfectly good reason to leave it alone and trade the two that do.
Where macro stops helping
On a five minute chart, a currency score is nearly useless. Our own horizon is the trading day and the week, and over a single day the mechanical part of the model sits close to a coin flip. As a filter that is still worth having; as a trigger it is worth nothing, and we would rather say so than sell you a dashboard for a job it cannot do.
The place it earns its keep intraday is risk. Knowing that the Swiss National Bank decides at 09:30 Amsterdam time, or that Australian jobs land at 03:30, changes what you are willing to hold through the session. That part is the same whether you hold for four hours or four days.
And it earns its keep in what you do not trade. Most losing days in a funded account come from trades that should never have been on the screen, not from a bad entry on a good pair.
Use it as a filter
- Trade the side the macro leans, and skip the same setup in the other direction.
- Stay flat through the windows your prop firm has a rule about.
- Treat two positions on the same currency as one position, because on a macro day they are.
- Size down when the whole field sits between 45 and 55: that is a market without a direction.
Do not use it as a trigger
There are no entries, stops or targets in the product, no alerts and no signal channel. If you want something that tells you when to click, this is the wrong service, and that is easier to find out now than after a month.
How the two halves fit together is in macro for the side, the chart for the moment, and the prop firm rules are on the page for funded traders.
Questions from day traders
Is this useful for day trading?
As a filter, yes: which pairs have a macro reason today, which side to take, and which minutes carry event risk. As a trigger, no. Our horizon is the trading day and the week, and over one day the mechanical part of the model sits close to a coin flip.
Does it work on a five minute chart?
The ranking does not change on a five minute chart, so no. What changes intraday is the risk: a release at a known time, and the window around it where spreads widen and prop firm rules apply.
What is a daily bias, in this sense?
Here it means the side the macro leans for a currency today, from the central bank, the rate level, the data and the risk mood. It is a different thing from the price-action daily bias that intraday traders draw from the previous session.
Can I use it while trading a funded account?
Yes, and the event risk is the part that matters most there. Which firms restrict which minutes, taken from their own help pages, is on our page for prop traders. Prop firm news rules
