USD/CAD and GBP/JPY are the pairs of the week until Monday 9 November, when two others come round on a fixed schedule.

The macro bias for the week: the first currency's score minus the second's, so a positive score favours the first. A direction, not an entry. The other 24 pairs, the ranking and the top setups are for members.

The weekly forex outlook, with the reasons

The 8 major currencies, each read through its own central bank

Central banks and meeting dates

Macro analysis takes hours. That’s why it gets skipped.

Technical analysis tells you where to enter. The macro picture tells you which direction has the wind behind it. Keeping up with it is a job on its own.

  • Too much to read

    Eight central banks, dozens of data releases and a constant stream of headlines, every single week.

  • A good chart in the wrong week

    A clean technical setup can still run into a currency that the macro backdrop is pushing the other way.

  • News you didn’t see coming

    A rate decision or inflation release can move a pair sharply within minutes. On a prop-firm account, that can hit your daily loss limit.

MacroSetup does the reading for you.

You get the conclusion, the reasons and the risks for the week in a few minutes a day.

The week’s biggest macro gaps, in one short list

The top 3 setups pair a strong currency with a weak one. Each comes with a live status, so you see at a glance whether price and the news calendar agree.

  • Confirmed by price, news ahead, stretched or price against
  • Alternatives with the same direction

Transparent by design

You should be able to judge the research yourself. The current model has been live since 15 September 2026, and every day's top 3 setups are measured against price, hits and misses included.

We don’t promise returns. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

  • Reasons and sources

    Every score comes with a plain-English explanation and where the information came from.

  • Every change logged

    When a score or rank moves, the update log shows what changed and why.

  • Checked against price

    Every day’s top 3 setups are measured from one London opening to the next, up or down, misses included.

  • The same for everyone

    Every member sees the same analysis. No private tips, no DMs about trades.

Frequently asked questions

See all 24 questions

Is MacroSetup financial advice?

No. MacroSetup publishes general market research, and everyone sees the same analysis. It does not know your situation and does not tell you what to buy or sell. Trading currencies on margin carries a high risk of losing money. Read the risk disclosure

Is MacroSetup a signal service?

No. Setups show where the macro gap between two currencies is widest this week. There are no entry prices, stops or targets. Timing and risk management are up to you.

How is MacroSetup different from a currency strength meter?

A strength meter measures how currencies have already moved. MacroSetup scores what drives them: central bank policy, economic data, risk sentiment and geopolitics. Every score comes with the reasons behind it, and recent price strength counts for only 5 of the 100 points.

Does MacroSetup help with prop-firm challenges?

The research is the same for every trader. High-impact news is flagged a day ahead, which helps if your prop firm limits trading around news releases, and the risk calculator works with the rules of your own challenge.

Is MacroSetup suited to swing trading?

Yes, swing trading is where it fits best. The research looks at the trading week, so the reason a currency is strong or weak holds for days, about as long as a swing trade lasts. When that reason changes, the research says so, which tells you when to look at the position again. Entries, exits and risk stay your own. How swing traders use it

Is there a free plan?

Yes. A free account costs nothing and needs no card. It shows EUR/USD and USD/JPY in full every week, two pairs of the week that change every Monday, the economic calendar with its outcomes and the central banks. Premium adds everything else. Free and Premium side by side

Do I need a card?

Not for a free account. For Premium, yes: the 14 free days start once you add a card at checkout, and nothing is charged during them.

Can I cancel during the trial?

Yes. Cancel on the Subscription page in your account before the 14 days are over and nothing is charged. Your account then simply stays Free.
