What is G10Grid?
Four forces move every G10 currency pair at once. G10Grid scores all four, converges them into one verdict per pair, and stamps every high-conviction call in public, before it plays out.
You’re trading G10 FX against people with a process.
Institutions run deep fundamental desks. Most retail traders get a Telegram group and a gut feeling. Every G10 pair is pushed by four forces at the same time: a country’s domestic economic health, cross-border capital flow, central-bank rate paths, and where the smart money is already positioned.
Nobody holds all of that in their head. So the usual retail answer is to chase headlines and call it analysis.
G10Grid is the desk you were never allowed to have. Here’s exactly how it works. No black box.
From four raw scores to one verdict.
Here is the exact path the engine walks for a single pair. Same logic runs on roughly 100 G10 pairs, every week.
Score each currency’s domestic health.
Inflation, rates, employment, money supply, leading indicators and sovereign risk, normalized into one number per currency. Higher = more inflationary = structurally weaker (PPP).
Measure the cross-currency pull.
Real rate differentials, terms of trade and PPP fair-value gaps: the forces dragging capital between the two currencies.
Check what the smart money is doing.
The weekly CFTC report: leveraged-fund net positioning, Z-scores, crowding vs capitulation. A context layer: it tells you whether you’re early or late, not whether to trade.
Converge into one verdict.
The FINAL engine weighs every layer into a single conviction tier, a direction and a hold horizon, each with a transparent reason list.
Illustration of the process, not a live call. The Desk runs this on every G10 pair, refreshed weekly.
Three independent reads. Scored separately.
Each lens answers one plain question. We score them in isolation, then let them agree or disagree on their own.
Is the country’s own economy weakening its currency?
Inflation, rates, employment, money supply, leading indicators, sovereign risk, aggregated into one score per currency. Higher = more inflationary = structurally weaker over the long run (purchasing-power parity).
What’s pulling capital between currencies?
Interest-rate parity, terms of trade, real PPP, carry, scored across pairs. When ENDO and EXO agree, the pair is Convergent: the rarest, highest-conviction setups in the framework.
What is the smart money actually doing?
CFTC Commitments of Traders: leveraged-fund net positioning, percentile Z-scores, crowd and capitulation flags. A context layer, not a signal: it tells you if the room is already on the trade, or if you’re early.
Confluence over guesswork. Four tiers, two ways to say no.
The FINAL engine converges every layer (Scores, Convergence, Carry, IRP, RPPP, COT, Sentiment, Seasonality, Sharpe) into a single per-pair conviction tier, with a direction, a hold horizon and a reason list for every verdict. You see the math, you see the score, you decide the trade.
Free, public, auditable. And current.
Every score is built from open public sources and refreshed weekly. Nothing proprietary you can’t check, nothing stale sitting six months behind the market.
The institutional framework, rebuilt for retail.
G10Grid implements the global-macro fundamental tradition taught in the ITPM / PFTM curriculum: the discretionary FX process professional desks run, distilled into a system a trader can run from a laptop.
It is an independent implementation, not affiliated with or endorsed by ITPM or Anton Kreil, and it publishes no proprietary curriculum. The method is the lineage; the edge we claim is rigor and transparency, not a secret formula.
An implementation that claims a lineage owes you the list of places it does something else. Here is ours. Every driver page in the Desk carries the same note beside the number it affects.
- Retail sales is computed and shown, but not scored. The tradition treats it as a lagging read and warns against trading it. We agree, so it informs the picture and does not get a vote.
- Positioning now gates, exactly as the method teaches. When the crowd is already stretched in the direction of the trade, the pair stands down outright. What remains ours is coverage: sixteen of ninety pairs have a futures contract to read, the rest skip the step with nothing substituted, and the card says which is which.
- Our inflation bins are our own. We band CPI, core and producer prices statistically, against each series' own distribution. Same chain, our bucketing.
- Currency strength and seasonality are our additions. They are not part of the tradition we inherited. They earn a point or lose one, nothing heavier.
- Balance of payments is back on, with our sourcing on the record. The clean free series is the IMF current account, so that is what the driver reads: a rolling annual sum, smoothed with the method's own three year average. Comparing countries as a share of GDP is our choice. The residual-only series we once refused to score stays refused.
- ✕Not a signals group. We don’t sell trade alerts to copy blindly. You see the scoring and decide your own trade.
- ✕No promised returns. No “guaranteed pips,” no P&L screenshots. Anyone who promises that is selling you something.
- ✕The public track record is young. We started stamping calls recently. Judge it as it grows, in the open.
- ✕We don’t pretend our research is finished. In our own backtests, COT extremes behaved as momentum, not contrarian. The gate now does the deciding, and the old scoring stays visible in the Desk as a side by side comparison instead of being hidden.
- ✓What you do get: a rigorous, repeatable way to rank the G10 on fundamentals, and a public scorecard you can audit, losers included.
The receipts are the product.
Every A+ and CORE verdict is auto-captured the moment it scores, then price-stamped every Monday until it closes. Win rate, hold time and tier consistency are computed live from that ledger. Paid or not, anyone can audit them. No cherry-picking. No deleted losing trades.
See the whole case before you take the trade.
Institutional FX fundamentals, scored and time-stamped in public. We show the losers too.
