James LNE
Founder of WatchTower Terminal, and the person who writes the research here.
I built WatchTower Terminal because I wanted the read that institutional desks take for granted, in one place, without paying for a wall of terminals and research subscriptions. The platform runs under EliteTraders LLC and covers G10 FX, metals, energy and the major global equity indices.
My background
I have spent [X years] in [markets / trading / research — your actual background]. Before WatchTower I [what you did, roles, focus markets]. My work centres on [the areas you know best, e.g. G10 FX macro and central-bank positioning].
How I approach the market
My method is macro-first. I read a currency, metal or index through the forces that actually move it over days and weeks: the balance of central-bank policy, where research consensus sits across the major banks, how positioning is stretched in the CFTC data, and where seasonality and rate differentials lean. I care about corroboration. A view I can see confirmed across research, positioning and price carries far more weight than any single signal on its own.
What I write here
The research on this site is educational. I write the explainers I wish I had when I started, and the periodic reads that use the same live data the terminal runs on. Every number I quote comes from the platform or its underlying sources. I do not publish trade signals, entries, stops or position sizes, and nothing here is financial advice. Every decision you make in the market is your own.
The platform behind the writing
Everything I describe in these pages is built into WatchTower Terminal: bank-research consensus from 30+ institutions, COT and retail positioning, per-asset scoring, central-bank stance and rate differentials, seasonality and a corroborated newswire, across FX, metals and indices.
