FX Victor Research · Weekly Outlook Sample

Dollar bid into year-end, but sterling has unfinished business against the euro.

A reconstructed, anonymized edition of the Monday 06:30 ET briefing our desk ships to every Pro subscriber. Below: the macro bias, the watchlist pairs, three intraday setups, and the realized ledger at week's close.


Inside this issue

Four sections. Twelve pages. One desk-grade read every Monday.

  1. 01

    Macro bias for the week

    A one-page directional read across DXY, EUR, JPY and CHF — built from the week's calendar (CPI, FOMC minutes, BoE), the COT tape, and our 2.1M-tick sentiment engine.

  2. 02

    Watchlist pairs & invalidation levels

    Three to five pairs the desk is actively tracking into the week, with the price that would invalidate the bias printed in mono beside each line.

  3. 03

    Intraday setups with entry, stop & target

    Timestamped orders sent to the inbox between 06:30 and 07:00 ET — including the desk rationale and the R-multiple the trade was sized to deliver.

  4. 04

    Risk levels & the weekly close ledger

    The risk-off line we will not let the book trade through, plus Friday's realized scorecard — R-multiple, hit rate, pips captured, and the FX Blue audit reference.
