Coverage

What this desk writes about.

Broker-first reporting. Real conditions, real tools, no hype.

FXNX AI Agents

How traders build agents in plain English — informer alerts and permissioned execution on MT5, with the full reasoning at every step.

Markets & macro

Sessions, levels, and the macro context behind the moves across 150+ instruments.

Gold & metals

XAU/USD flow, vault mechanics, and how metals trade through the broker.

Risk & psychology

Position sizing, loss caps, and the discipline that survives drawdowns.

NX Copy & marketplace

Following agents and strategists, and how the top of the marketplace earns funded slots.

Platform & execution

MT5, NX Terminal, and what 0.0-pip raw spreads actually feel like in a live ticket.

Editorial standard

How the desk publishes.

Every article clears the same bar before it goes live.

01

Trade it first

Nothing gets written about a setup the desk hasn't actually traded on a live or demo account.

02

Pressure-test the claim

Numbers are checked against real FXNX conditions — spreads, leverage, and execution — never invented.

03

Review on the desk

A second trader reviews the logic and the risk framing before sign-off.

04

Publish with the disclaimer

Educational, never advice. Risk is stated up front, not buried in a footer.

From journal to platform

Read it here. Build it in the dashboard.

What the desk writes about is what you can ship — describe a rule in plain English and FXNX builds an agent that follows it.

Plain-English agents

"Alert me when gold breaks the daily high." The builder turns that sentence into a rule-following agent.

Informer alerts

Read-only agents ping you on Telegram or in-app the moment your rules fire — with the reasoning.

Permissioned execution

Trader agents place and manage trades inside your limits on MT5. You stay in control.

Why readers trust it

Clear, honest, and from people who actually trade.

A broker blog that explains the move instead of selling a signal. No predictions, no hype — just the reasoning.

The risk framing is the part I keep coming back to. They state the downside before the upside, every time.
