Risk review

Data-led

Understand the Thesis.Measure the Risk.

We review the reasoning behind each trade, the conditions that support it and the point at which the thesis no longer holds. Live records and decision journals help distinguish informed judgement from hindsight. The chart is illustrative, not FYFX performance.

Discretionary Approaches

Different Ways to Read a Market.

A top-down macro view and a price-led setup can each support a discretionary edge. Show how your judgement becomes a repeatable decision process, with explicit risk and a record of outcomes.

Macro & Fundamental

Macro & Fundamental

Translate policy, growth, valuation and catalysts into a clear thesis with defined scenarios and position risk.

Technical & Price Action

Technical & Price Action

Read price action, liquidity and market structure with documented entries, exits and invalidation levels.

Discretionary Process

A Market View. A Defined Decision Process.

Explain where your judgement adds value and how it stays accountable to evidence. We assess the thesis, implementation and risk together.

Sources of Conviction

Macro Trading

Translate policy, growth and cross-market relationships into a trading thesis.

Technical Trading

Use price action and market structure to define the setup and invalidation.

Fundamental Analysis

Assess the information, valuation assumptions and catalysts behind a view.

Event-Driven Trading

Prepare scenarios for policy decisions, earnings and other defined catalysts.

From View to Position

Trade Planning

Document the entry, expected catalyst, exit and conditions that change your view.

Position Sizing

Link position size to loss tolerance, volatility and portfolio exposures.

Execution Review

Assess spreads, slippage, market depth and timing against the trade plan.

Decision Journals

Review the original rationale alongside outcomes across market conditions.

Evidence & Risk

Understand the Decisions Behind Results.

Review trade outcomes alongside the original thesis, position size, drawdown, liquidity and costs. A decision journal provides context that a return series alone cannot show. Charts and retained third-party imagery are illustrative and do not establish a relationship with any firm.
