Forex Desk — 17 pairs. Any session. Macro edge before consensus.
The EMI forex desk reads central-bank posture, rate-differential shifts and session-by-session flow across 17 majors and crosses — and alerts only when the macro setup confirms with price structure. Tight stops. 2.5% hard cap, 1.2% soft warn. Pip-aware labels, not generic equity geometry.

What the desk watches
The macro tape, pair by pair.
Forex is relative monetary policy. EMI's macro routing layer tags every relevant article — Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, RBA, BOC, SNB, RBNZ — and links it to the pairs whose rate-differential thesis just shifted. That's why a JPY rate-decision article can wake EUR/JPY, USD/JPY and GBP/JPY in the same cycle without a manual mapping.
- Majors. EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD.
- JPY crosses. EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, AUD/JPY, NZD/JPY, CHF/JPY, CAD/JPY.
- Crosses. EUR/GBP, EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD, AUD/NZD.
Why tight stops
Forex stops are tighter on purpose.
FX is leveraged, low-vol-per-tick, and 24-hour. A 5% stop in forex is a blown account. EMI's forex stop bands — 1.2% warn, 2.5% cap — are tuned to the volatility the pair actually trades at. The structure-readiness policy adds a 20bp breakout tolerance so noise doesn't trigger false breakouts overnight.
