Big moves either way are common around earnings, and the swing priced into options usually drops sharply afterward (the “IV crush”). Heavily traded, with a small gap between buy and sell prices, but a single stock that swings more than the market.

From the founder

I spent years trading the ASX, mostly mining names, and a few years back that turned into an investing group with some mates. Along the way I’d run through every major trading platform out there, and not one of them did the thing I actually needed: take all the data and tell me what it meant, in one place, fast enough to act on. So I started building it myself, and that became MacroDesk. I still trade every week and I’m about as obsessed with this space as it gets. This is the desk I always wanted on my own screen.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this financial advice?+
No. MacroDesk is an information and decision-support platform, not a financial adviser. It shows what was filed and how often similar filings were followed by a sharp move, each with its count. It doesn’t tell you what to buy or sell, and nothing on it is personal advice. General information only; it does not consider your objectives, financial situation or needs.
What markets does it cover?+
Today: company announcements on the ASX, with the macro context around them from public sources — central banks and rates, the economic calendar and data, policy, futures positioning, shipping and stockpiles. US coverage and live prices open to subscribers only when their data licences allow it.Today: company announcements on the ASX, with the economic picture around them from public sources: central banks and interest rates, the economic calendar and data, policy, how futures traders are positioned, shipping and stockpiles. US coverage and live prices open to subscribers only when their data licences allow it.
What's the read actually based on?+
Counts. For each filing the scanner finds similar past filings and shows how many were followed by a sharp move at the next session, with n, the dates and the source filing. No forecast, no direction.Counts. For each announcement the scanner finds similar past ones and shows how many were followed by a big price move the next day, with how many, when, and a link to each. No prediction, no direction.
Is it for day traders or swing traders?+
Either. The scanner describes; it does not frame a trade for any holding period. What it shows (what followed similar filings at the next session, with the count) is the same for every reader.Either. The scanner describes what happened; it does not suggest a trade for any holding period. What it shows (what followed similar announcements the next day, with how often) is the same for every reader.
Who is it for?+
Serious traders who want the read, not the hype. People who’d rather see the reasoning and decide for themselves than be handed a buy or sell.
What will it cost?+
Pricing at launch. MacroDesk charges no one today; the price will be set before launch and shown on this page first, and no card is taken before then.
What happens when the next one goes the other way?+
A count describes the past; the next filing can go the other way, and often does. That is why every line shows its n and its dates, so you can see how much history stands behind it. MacroDesk informs your judgement; it does not replace it. The decision, and the risk, stay yours.A count describes the past; the next announcement can go the other way, and often does.
