Macro AI: fast answers,used the right way.

AI for trading is useful for 1 thing above all: speed. Macro AI inside Prime Terminal summarises, explains terms and finds data in seconds.

What it does not replace is judgement. That is why the analyst desk sits right next to it.

Macro AI and the Analyst Desk: 2 different jobsMacro AIFast summariesSecondsExplain a termInstantFind dataInstantAnalyst DeskJudgementHumanWhat matters nowHumanContext checkEvery sessionUse AI for speed. Use people for judgement.

What Macro AI is good at

Summarising a long report, explaining a term like "real yields", pulling the last 3 CPI prints, or listing what happened overnight.

Where people matter

Deciding what matters today, spotting when the data and the price disagree, and putting a headline into context. For that, ask the analyst desk.

Use it in real trading

The tool informs the decision, it never makes it. Here is how it plays out on real trading days.

1
Speed

You ask Macro AI to summarise a central bank statement in 5 points before the press conference starts.

2
Judgement

The summary looks hawkish, but the currency falls. You ask the desk why, and learn the market expected even more.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Letting AI make the decision.
  • Trusting a summary without checking the source.
  • Asking AI what to trade.

What makes it different

AI is leverage on expert work, not a replacement for it. In Prime Terminal, both sit in the same place.

Questions

Is Macro AI included?

Yes, inside the terminal.

Can it give trade signals?

No. It explains and summarises.

When should I ask the desk instead?

Whenever the question is "what matters" or "why did this happen".
