What the desk covers

Six beats. One regulated floor.

Pick a beat. Every note is written by people executing on the same MT5 venue you trade.

How the desk publishes

Trade it first. Then write it.

This is a field journal, not a content engine. Every note clears the same four gates.

Trade it first

If we did not take the setup on the desk, it does not get written up.

Check the line

Claims are checked against what a MISA-regulated broker can responsibly say.

Show the data

Levels, flow and fills you can verify on the same MT5 venue you trade.

Publish, then update

Notes are dated and revised when the tape proves us wrong.

From the readers
