Profiting PowersRead the story. Find your opportunity.
The suggested trades are a starting point. The real work is understanding the full brief and deciding what the data means for your own trade ideas.
Here’s how we use Real Money Flows each day: we check the major market moves first, then read the report in full, take notes along the way, and record what we might trade—and why.
Be mindful of price action before you read any report. Take a moment each morning to see what the major markets are doing—what is rising, what is falling, and how much they have moved.
EUR/USDUSD/JPYGBP/USDGoldOilTreasury yields
Check current prices and overnight changes. For Treasury yields, note the yield level and its change. Record the moves that stand out before opening the brief.
See the movement first. Read for the reasons.
With those moves fresh in your mind, the report can give you a better understanding of why markets are moving. Connect what you observed with the economic data, policy developments, and sentiment in the brief.
02
Read or listen in full
Open a dated snapshot and read the entire brief. Prefer audio? Use Read brief, choose a voice and speed, and pause when you want to make a note. The reader stays accessible as you scroll.
To revisit a specific passage, highlight it and choose Read selection.
03
Write what stands out
As you work through the report, note the currencies, commodities, or other markets that catch your attention. Record the data or development behind each idea.
Ask: What could I trade? In which direction? Why does the information support it?
04
Compare your own ideas
Each brief includes suggested trades. Sometimes our notes lead us to the same ideas. Other times, we find alternatives we believe are stronger.
Use the suggestions to challenge your thinking. An alternative is only stronger if you can explain the case behind it.
05
Build a plan before acting
Recheck current information and prices: the brief reflects its morning preparation. Decide what would confirm your idea, what would invalidate it, and how you will manage your exposure.
Keep an idea on your watchlist if the evidence or timing isn’t there. A daily research routine does not require a daily trade.
OUR APPROACH TO SUGGESTED TRADES
Make the reasoning your own.
We don’t stop at the suggested-trade section. We work through the whole report and build a view from the economic calendar, policy developments, inflation, yields, commodities, oil, sentiment, and the other data in the brief.
That broader reading can reinforce a suggested trade or reveal a different opportunity. Either way, the aim is the same: know what you are considering and be able to explain why.
YOUR DAILY NOTES
A simple structure to use as you read.
Use a notebook or your own document. Keep each potential trade separate, and capture the reasoning while it is fresh.
Note
What to record
Morning market check
Before any report: current prices, overnight changes in major currency pairs, gold and oil, plus Treasury yield levels and changes.
Market & direction
The currency pair, commodity, or other market; your potential long or short idea.
The reason
The specific data, release, policy development, or sentiment supporting your view.
Suggested trade comparison
Does the brief suggest the same idea? If you prefer another, explain why.
What could change the view
Contradictory evidence, the next release, or a development that would invalidate the idea.
Plan & risk
Your entry conditions, exit plan, position size, and acceptable loss.
Decision
Research further, watch, trade under your plan, or pass.
Protect the process—and your capital.
Profiting Powers describes how we use the site to research opportunities. It does not promise a profit each day. Suggested trades are ideas to evaluate, and trading can result in losses.
Define your risk and exit plan before entering. Standard stop-loss orders can slip in fast or gapping markets; they do not guarantee your exit price.
Check the morning moves first. Then open the latest snapshot, read or listen to the full brief, and take notes. Then decide which ideas deserve further attention.
