Reading the FX Patrol Dashboard
How to actually use the product you've signed up for
- Read every field on a bias card and know what it means
- Tell a high-confidence bias from a low-confidence one
- Know when to ignore the dashboard's view
Everything you've learned in the Beginner tier — value, GDP, inflation, rates, risk, themes — gets *applied* on this dashboard. This briefing walks you through every element of a bias card so the rest of the engine makes sense.
The bias card, field by field
Direction: LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL. Conviction: 0-1 score, calibrated against historical accuracy. Pillars: the 3-5 reasons the bias exists, each labelled confirmed / intact / weakened. Kill switches: events that would flip the bias. Why?: the news that drove it.
Calibration is the honesty layer
Conviction 0.8 doesn't mean '80% sure'. It means '*at this conviction level, historically the dashboard has been right ~X% of the time*' — that X is shown on the card. If the historical hit rate at 0.8 conviction is only 55%, you know the engine is overconfident on this conviction band.
Conviction matches historical hit rate. Pillars all confirmed. Kill switches haven't triggered. Aligns with CoT positioning. Direction has been stable for days.
Conviction overshooting historical hit rate. Pillars showing weakened. Recent flip-flops on direction. Fights CoT or risk regime. Per-pair track record poor.
A bias shows conviction 0.85 with historical hit rate at 0.85 of only 52%. How should you read this?
- Every bias has direction, conviction, pillars, kill switches
- Conviction is calibrated against historical hit rate — check the gap
- High-trust bias: stable direction + confirmed pillars + aligned positioning
- Dashboard is a starting point, not a signal service
