Heatmap: see wherethe money is flowing.
A forex heatmap colours every market by its performance, green for up, red for down, darker for bigger moves. In 1 look you see where the money is flowing today.
It is the fastest way to spot a theme: when all the dollar pairs are the same colour, the dollar is the story.
What it shows
Tiles for currencies, metals, energy, indices and more, coloured by the move over your chosen period.
How to read it
Look for groups, not single tiles. A block of red commodity currencies and green yen tells you risk-off in 1 second.
Use it in real trading
The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.
Every dollar pair is red against the dollar. You check the Macro Briefing for the reason and look at dollar longs.
The map is a random mix of small moves. The market is waiting for something. So are you.
Mistakes to avoid
- Chasing the darkest tile.
- Ignoring the time period you selected.
- Reading 1 tile without its group.
What makes it different
The heatmap is 1 click from the headlines and the bias, so a colour always comes with a reason.
