Read the Bias Desk with real drivers
The Bias Desk is not an automatic signal. In the terminal, it helps organize momentum, macro, news and event risk.

What a bias can sum up
Bias can include momentum, dollar, yields, news, calendar and risk sentiment. It gives a summary reading, not a certainty.
Why the reasons matter more than the score
A bullish or bearish score only has value if the reasons are legible. The trader must know if the direction comes from the dollar, rates, news or a simple technical movement.

Using bias with your own plan
Bias can prepare the scenario, but entry, exit, size and invalidation remain linked to personal strategy and risk management.
