# Markets Mastered > Markets Mastered is a forex intelligence platform for serious retail and part-time traders. Every tracked instrument is scored every 15 minutes for trend direction, volatility compression, currency strength and breakout activity. Trend alerts, twice-daily market briefings, an economic calendar, and decision tools (correlations, screens, backtest, journal) are surfaced from one dashboard. Based at marketsmastered.com. ## What We Do Markets Mastered monitors 55+ instruments (forex majors and crosses, indices, gold, silver, selected crypto) across seven timeframes from 15 minutes to monthly. The platform is built around four pillars: 1. **Real-time intelligence** - trends grid, squeeze score, currency strength, volatility (ATR in pips), heat map, market movers, correlations matrix. All updated every 15 minutes. 2. **Trend breakout alerts** - day-trade (when 15m/1h/4h align) and swing (when 1d/1w/1mo align) breakout signals delivered to Telegram the moment they fire. Direction-only; the trade plan stays with the trader. 3. **Market briefings** - written by the team, Mon-Fri 06:00 UK (morning) and 19:00 UK (evening recap), plus a Sunday 08:00 UK week-ahead read. Subscribers get them at publish; the public archive is delayed 48 hours. 4. **Workflow tools** - per-instrument dashboards with multi-timeframe trend history, watchlist filter, custom alerts, smart screens, trade journal, correlation matrix (Pro), historical rule backtest (Pro & Elite). ### Squeeze Score A 0-100 score for each instrument capturing how compressed it is right now. Built from Bollinger Band Width and ATR percentiles. 0-39 normal, 40-59 building, 60-79 high compression, 80-100 extreme. High readings often precede expansion. Updated every 15 minutes. ### Currency Strength For each currency we aggregate signed % change across every pair containing it, then scale to -100..+100. Available on 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d, 1w timeframes. Used to pair strong vs weak rather than fighting the basket. ### Trend Alerts Two flavours: - **Day-trade** alerts fire when the 15-minute, 1-hour and 4-hour trend stacks all agree on direction. Faster setups; typical holding period hours to a day. - **Swing** alerts fire when the 1-day, 1-week and 1-month timeframes agree. Slower; holding period days to weeks. Alerts are direction signals, not full trade plans. The user sets entry, stop and target. ### Plans (GBP, billed monthly or annually) - **Free** - access to calculators, market hours, economic calendar.

Pro adds extended instrument-level dashboards. ### Timeframes Monitored 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, weekly, monthly. Every metric (trend direction, squeeze score, ATR, % change, currency strength) is calculated on each timeframe. ### How Trend Alerts Work The platform ingests TradingView webhook signals every 15 minutes carrying the trend direction per timeframe plus raw indicator values (BBW, ATR, percentiles). Server-side, the system detects when timeframe stacks newly align (day-trade or swing) and dispatches an alert to subscribers via Telegram. The same data also drives the dashboard's "Day Trade Focus" and "Long Term Focus" cards, the per-instrument trend history heatmap, and the multi-timeframe stack on the trends grid. ## Pages - [Home](https://marketsmastered.com/): Forex intelligence platform overview, live dashboard preview, pricing, FAQ - [Features](https://marketsmastered.com/features): Every tool organised by pillar (real-time intelligence, decision tools, briefings, automation, workflow) - [Tools](https://marketsmastered.com/tools): Free trading calculators landing page - [Demo](https://marketsmastered.com/demo): The full dashboard with real data on a 48-hour delay - [Pricing](https://marketsmastered.com/#pricing): Plan tiers and what's included - [Lot Size Calculator](https://marketsmastered.com/lot-calculator): Position sizing from risk, stop distance, balance - [Pip Value Calculator](https://marketsmastered.com/pip-calculator): Per-pip monetary value - [Profit/Loss Calculator](https://marketsmastered.com/pnl-calculator): Trade P&L from entry, exit, size - [Margin Calculator](https://marketsmastered.com/margin-calculator): Required margin from lot size, leverage, pair - [Market Hours](https://marketsmastered.com/forex-market-hours): Live trading session timeline (SYD/TKY/LON/NYC) - [Economic Calendar](https://marketsmastered.com/economic-calendar): Weekly high-impact data and central bank events - [Briefings](https://marketsmastered.com/briefings): Public archive of morning, evening and week-ahead market briefings (48h delay) - [Instruments](https://marketsmastered.com/instruments): Per-instrument trend, squeeze and analysis pages - [Learn](https://marketsmastered.com/learn): Plain-English guides to reading and trading with the data - [Learn: Reading the data](https://marketsmastered.com/learn/category/reading-the-data): Guides to trends grid, squeeze score, currency strength, volatility, heat map, market movers - [Learn: Trading with the data](https://marketsmastered.com/learn/category/trading-with-the-data): Workflow guides for alerts, sessions, economic calendar, briefings - [Learn: Reference](https://marketsmastered.com/learn/category/reference): Forex glossary and platform reference - [Trading Books](https://marketsmastered.com/ebooks): Premium forex trading guides - [About](https://marketsmastered.com/about): Company background and mission - [Contact](https://marketsmastered.com/contact): Contact form and support email ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://marketsmastered.com/privacy): Privacy and data handling - [Terms of Service](https://marketsmastered.com/terms): Terms and conditions - [Risk Disclaimer](https://marketsmastered.com/risk-disclaimer): Forex trading risk disclosure ## FAQ **What is Markets Mastered?** A forex intelligence platform that scores every tracked instrument every 15 minutes for trend direction, volatility compression (squeeze score), currency strength and breakout activity. It surfaces what's actually moving and what's about to break, then sends day-trade and swing breakout alerts to Telegram when timeframe stacks align. Subscribers also receive morning, evening and weekly market briefings written by the team. **How do the trend alerts work?** The platform monitors every tracked pair on seven timeframes around the clock. Day-trade alerts fire when the 15m, 1h and 4h trends all agree on direction. Swing alerts fire when the 1d, 1w and 1mo trends agree. Each alert is delivered to Telegram the moment alignment confirms, with the symbol, direction and timeframe class. Alerts are direction-only - the trade plan stays with the trader. **What is the squeeze score?** A 0-100 number capturing how compressed an instrument is right now, blending Bollinger Band Width and ATR percentiles across timeframes. Scores 60+ indicate unusually tight ranges where a breakout is more likely; 80+ is extreme compression. The score is built to be used as a filter (build a watchlist of coiled pairs) rather than a signal (it doesn't tell you direction). **What's the difference between Starter, Pro and Elite?** Starter includes trend alerts and the full intelligence dashboard (trends grid, heat map, currency strength, volatility, movers) plus morning, evening and weekly briefings. Pro adds the correlations matrix, custom alerts, smart screens, trade journal, per-instrument dashboards and historical rule backtest. Elite adds prop firm assistance, priority support and automated trading alerts. **Is there a free trial?** Yes. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial with full access to the chosen plan. No card needed up front. **Which instruments do you cover?** 55+ instruments including all forex majors and popular crosses, plus indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones, DAX, FTSE 100, Nikkei 225, ASX 200, Hang Seng, CAC 40, FTSE MIB), commodities (Gold, Silver, Brent Crude) and selected crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum). Pro members get extended per-instrument dashboards. **Does Markets Mastered give me buy/sell signals?** No. The platform surfaces breakout direction when timeframe stacks align, which is a signal of where the move is, not a packaged trade. The user sets entry, stop loss and take profit. The goal is to produce self-sufficient traders, not subscribers dependent on copy-trades. **Is Markets Mastered suitable for beginners?** It's structured for traders who already understand the basics of forex and want a clearer, faster read of the market. The platform doesn't auto-trade and doesn't hide the data behind one-line "buy this" calls. Beginners get value from the Learn library and free tools; the alerts and intelligence pages reward traders who can interpret multi-timeframe context. **When are forex markets open?** Forex markets run 24 hours a day from Sunday 21:00 UTC (Sydney open) to Friday 21:00 UTC (New York close). The four major sessions are Sydney (21:00-06:00 UTC), Tokyo (00:00-09:00 UTC), London (07:00-16:00 UTC), and New York (12:00-21:00 UTC). The dashboard's session strip shows which are open right now and warms each pill as the close approaches. **What are the free tools?** All calculators (lot size, pip value, profit/loss, margin), the live market hours timeline, and the economic calendar are free without subscription. Account creation is required but no payment.
