Ten12 MacroIQ: multi-asset quantitative market intelligence

Twelve markets. One honest read of the wind.

MacroIQ reads rates, the Fed, inflation, jobs, liquidity, smart-money positioning, the retail crowd, seasonality and trend, and turns them into one live score from −100 to +100 for Bitcoin, gold, Ethereum, the dollar, US and Japanese indices, silver, copper, oil and gas. Above +15 the backdrop favours longs; below −15 it favours shorts.

Educational research built on public data. A bias is context for your own analysis, not a signal to buy or sell. Readings on every market are educational market context, not an offer of any product.

Reading the markets…

Trade with the backdrop, not against it.

Price action tells you where to enter. MacroIQ tells you which direction has the wind behind it, so you take more of the right trades and fewer of the wrong ones.

  1. Read the bias before the session

    Score, conviction and how many factors agree. High agreement means the reading is worth more.

  2. Favour that side

    Take setups in the bias direction and be pickier against it. Neutral? Trade only clear technical setups, or wait.

  3. Plan around the catalysts

    MacroIQ lists the next CPI, jobs and Fed events with what a hot or soft print means, then refreshes about 45 minutes after.

  4. Check the wider tape

    Top setups shows whether risk assets and the dollar agree with your trade, or are pulling against it.

What each plan sees.

Pro: scores and alerts

The MacroIQ score for all twelve markets and the Top setups ranking, plus MacroIQ alerts on Telegram: every score, any bias changes and the top setup after each refresh, about every 3 hours.

Pro: the full model

Everything behind the scores for all twelve markets: every factor and driver, positioning and squeeze risk, release surprises, the bias timeline and track record, retail sentiment, COT, put/call history, seasonality and the momentum heatmap.

The full model for every market: nine factors, 35+ drivers each

All twelve markets run the same nine factor groups, each weighted for how that market really trades and each driver signed for how it reacts. Strong US growth, for example, is a headwind for gold, a tailwind for Bitcoin, copper and stocks, and rising yields lift the dollar while they weigh on the Nasdaq.

Rates, Fed & dollar

Real yields, the 2-year yield against its 21-day average (rising = hawkish), the dollar, inflation expectations and how many Fed cuts the market prices in.

Weight 5–30%highest for the US dollar

Inflation pulse

CPI, core CPI, core PCE and PPI, with each release judged against its consensus forecast.

Weight 5–10%highest for the dollar

Growth pulse

GDP, retail sales, industrial production, consumer sentiment, manufacturing and services activity surveys, and a US data surprise index. Strong growth hurts gold's haven appeal but lifts risk appetite.

Weight 6–14%highest for copper and oil

Labour pulse

Non-farm payrolls, ADP, unemployment, weekly jobless claims and job openings: the data that moves Fed expectations most.

Weight 3–9%highest for the dollar

Risk mood & liquidity

VIX, credit spreads, the Nasdaq trend, the Fed balance sheet and M2 money supply, plus market-specific drivers: stablecoin supply for crypto, USD/JPY for the Nikkei and US crude inventories for oil.

Weight 6–22%highest for the Nikkei and crypto

Smart-money positioning

Weekly CFTC data on how the big speculators are positioned in each market's futures: net position, the 4-week and latest change, and a warning when positioning gets crowded.

Weight 6–16%highest for natural gas and oil

Crowd & derivatives

Retail long/short ratios, the put/call ratio against its own history, funding rates and open interest for crypto, options flow and the Fear & Greed index. Crowded sides count against the crowd.

Weight 4–17%highest for Ethereum and Bitcoin

Technicals

Daily trend (50-day EMA), long-term trend (50 vs 200-day), 4-hour trend, 20-day momentum, RSI 14 and MACD on the daily chart.

Weight 15–34%highest for natural gas

Seasonality

How the market has usually moved this month, and over the next four weeks from today's date, in up to ten past years. Scored on the median year and only when most years agree, so one wild year cannot carry it. Natural gas prices are adjusted for futures contract rolls first. A big factor for natural gas, a small one elsewhere.

Weight 5–18%highest for natural gas
FAQ

Questions about Ten12 MacroIQ

What is Ten12 MacroIQ?

Ten12 MacroIQ is multi-asset quantitative market intelligence by Ten12 Mentors: a rules-based bias model covering 12 markets. For each market it scores nine groups of factors (rates and the Fed, inflation, growth, jobs, risk mood and liquidity, smart-money positioning, crowd sentiment and options, technicals and seasonality), weighted for that market, and combines them into one score from −100 to +100.

What is the difference between the MacroIQ score and the setup score?

Build your bias on the MacroIQ score. It is the full model: nine weighted factor groups and 35+ drivers per market, with release surprises, conviction and a track record. The setup score in Top setups is a quick, equal-weight tally of 18 cells from −2 to +2, useful for scanning. When both point the same way the read is better supported; when they disagree, size down or wait for price to confirm.

Why is gold analysed on XAUUSD but shown as XAUUSDT?

Most of the world's gold trading happens in spot gold (XAUUSD) and COMEX futures, so that is where the price trend, big-speculator positioning, options and the retail crowd carry real information. MacroIQ reads gold there for accuracy. The price shown is XAUUSDT, the USDT-settled crypto contract available to Indian traders, which tracks spot gold closely.

How should I read the put/call ratio?

Put/call is puts traded divided by calls traded, so 0.60 means about 6 puts for every 10 calls: options traders lean bullish. What matters is the reading against that market's own history. Unusually heavy put buying shows fear and often appears near short-term lows, so shorts can get squeezed; very little put buying shows complacency, so longs can get flushed. MacroIQ combines it with retail and COT positioning into a plain-English squeeze-risk read for each market.

How do traders use the score?

Above +15 the backdrop favours longs, below −15 it favours shorts, and +45 or −45 marks a strong bias. Traders use it as context: favour setups in the bias direction, be pickier against it, and stand aside when it is neutral and the factors disagree. It is not an entry signal.

How often does it update?

Every three hours, and about 45 minutes after high-impact US releases such as CPI, payrolls and Fed decisions, so a surprise is reflected quickly.

Where does the data come from?

Public sources: the St. Louis Fed (FRED) for yields, the dollar, inflation, growth, jobs, VIX, credit spreads and liquidity; consensus forecasts from the economic calendar; the CFTC Commitments of Traders report; Binance market data for price, technicals, funding, open interest and long/short ratios; Deribit and CBOE options volume; Yahoo Finance prices for indices, commodities and the dollar; stablecoin supply; and the Crypto Fear & Greed index.
