FX Terminal
A complete walkthrough of every section in the dashboard — what each widget shows, where the data comes from, and how to use it to monitor FX market conditions.
The terminal uses a three-column layout at full width. Understanding the structure helps you navigate quickly:
On screens narrower than 1100px the layout collapses into a single scrollable column. On mobile, the sidebar and right panel fold into the main flow.
The sticky topbar navigation links jump you directly to major sections: FX Pairs, Macro, Rates, Cross-Asset, Risk, Positioning, and Calendar.
The top-right of the topbar shows the current active trading session (Sydney, Tokyo, London, New York, or an overlap) based on your browser's local time converted to UTC. A blinking green dot indicates the clock is live.
The horizontal strip below the topbar shows live prices for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, USD/CAD, NZD/USD, EUR/GBP, XAU/USD, WTI Crude, BTC/USD, US 10Y Yield, and DXY. Prices come from the Frankfurter/ECB API for FX, and open market proxies for commodities and crypto.
Click any pair in the quote bar to jump to the Price Chart with that symbol pre-selected.
The scrolling headline strip below the quote bar shows the most recent FX-relevant headlines from RSS feeds (Reuters, FT, ForexLive, FXStreet), updated 3× daily by the engine. Headlines are color-tagged by currency when a specific pair is mentioned.
Immediately below the quote bar in the main panel, the Narrative bar provides a 2–3 sentence summary of current market conditions, synthesized by the AI engine from rate differentials, cross-asset flows, COT positioning, and upcoming macro events.
Next to the narrative text, the Regime label provides a one-word characterization of the overall market environment:
A full TradingView Advanced Chart embed supporting 20+ instruments accessible via the tab row above the chart: FX majors, crosses, XAU/USD, WTI, DXY, S&P 500, Nasdaq, Nikkei, BTC/USD, and ETH/USD.
The chart runs all of TradingView's standard features — candlestick, Heikin-Ashi, Renko, and bar charts; all built-in indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku, Volume Profile, etc.); drawing tools; multi-timeframe switching from 1-minute to monthly.
Below the price chart, the FX Pairs — Majors table shows a snapshot of all major pairs with the following columns:
An 8×8 grid showing the relative performance of each G8 currency against every other, computed from Frankfurter/ECB daily rates. Each cell shows the percentage change of the row currency vs. the column currency over the selected timeframe.
The diagonal is blank (a currency vs. itself). Green cells indicate the row currency strengthened against the column currency; red indicates it weakened. The intensity of the color scales with the magnitude of the move.
A canvas-drawn chart showing estimated FX market liquidity across the 24-hour trading day. The curve peaks at London-New York overlap (~13:00–17:00 UTC), which historically accounts for the highest volume and tightest spreads. A vertical line marks the current UTC time. See the dedicated FX Liquidity & Sessions guide for a full explanation.
Live prices and daily percentage changes for 14 cross pairs (EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, AUD/JPY, CAD/JPY, CHF/JPY, EUR/CHF, EUR/CAD, EUR/AUD, GBP/CHF, GBP/CAD, AUD/NZD, AUD/CHF, NZD/JPY). Cross pairs often reveal currency-specific stories that major pairs obscure.
A ranked list of the highest-yielding carry trade pair candidates, computed from current central bank rate differentials. A carry trade borrows a low-rate currency (historically JPY or CHF) and buys a high-rate currency (historically AUD or NZD). This section shows the net rate differential for the top pairs at current CB policy rates. See data sources for context.
A compact view of today's high-impact economic events with Previous, Expected, and Actual values populated as data releases in real time. Impact is color-coded: red = high impact, orange = medium, gray = low. This panel refreshes from the calendar data throughout the day.
Current policy rates for all eight G8 central banks (Fed, ECB, BoE, BoJ, RBA, BoC, SNB, RBNZ), updated daily from official CB sources. The trend column shows the direction of the current rate cycle: ↑ Hiking, ↓ Cutting, or → Hold.
Rolling 60-day structural correlations between selected pairs and reference assets (EUR/USD vs. DXY, AUD/USD vs. Gold, USD/JPY vs. US 10Y Yield, etc.). Correlation values near +1 or -1 indicate strong relationships; values near 0 indicate the correlation has broken down, which can itself be a signal.
Forward-looking rate expectations for each major central bank at their next scheduled meeting. Values are derived from futures market pricing and analyst consensus. This is distinct from the current rate — it reflects what the market expects to happen next.
1-week and 1-month 25-delta risk reversal values for major pairs. A positive risk reversal means calls (upside) are more expensive than puts (downside), indicating the market is paying a premium for upside exposure. A negative value indicates put premium, or downside hedging demand. This is a direct measure of options market sentiment.
FX-relevant headlines from Reuters, FT, ForexLive, and FXStreet, filtered and sorted by estimated market impact. Each item shows the source, timestamp, and currency tags for the pairs most likely affected. The feed is updated 3× daily (06:00, 12:00, 21:00 UTC).
The Economic Map to the right of the news feed is a TradingView world economics widget showing GDP, inflation, and other macro metrics by country in an interactive geographic view.
The final section of the main panel shows 4–6 AI-generated market signals, updated 3× daily alongside the narrative. Each signal includes:
