01 — Overview

What is Axiom Currency Intelligence?

Axiom Currency Intelligence tells you which currencies are strong, which are weak, and which pairs offer the best directional opportunities — right now. It does not tell you when to enter or where to place your stop. That decision always belongs to you, confirmed on your own charts.

How to use it correctly: Axiom identifies the pair and the direction. Your chart analysis identifies the entry. Always confirm a setup on your chart before taking any position — the platform is your pre-trade filter, not your trigger.

02 — Getting Started

Accessing the Dashboard

The dashboard is browser-based — no download, no installation. Your personal access link is your entry point.

1

Open your personal access link

You received a URL in the format https://app.bacchusanalytics.com/?t=your_token. Bookmark it on desktop and add it to your phone home screen for one-tap access.

2

Check the market status banner

Green = market open, live data. Red = weekend or holiday, market closed. The banner is always the first thing to check — no point analysing a closed market.

3

Check active sessions

The four session clocks show which trading centres are open. Best conditions are during London session and the London/New York overlap (12:00–16:00 UTC). Avoid the 30 minutes before and after a major session open.

4

Check the economic calendar first

Before anything else, identify any High-impact events in the next 2 hours. Note which currencies are affected. These are either opportunities or pairs to avoid.

5

Read Currency Strength

Identify the top 2 strongest and bottom 2 weakest currencies. These are your candidates. Ignore the middle — neutral currencies produce choppy, low-quality setups.

6

Confirm with Best Pairs and Matrix

Find your strong vs weak combination in Best Pairs. Cross-check in the Strength Matrix — the strong currency's row should be mostly green, the weak currency's row mostly red.

7

Go to your charts and confirm entry

Axiom has done its job — it identified the pair and direction. Now open your charting platform and look for an entry confirmation setup. See Section 05 for the recommended entry methods.

The dashboard auto-refreshes every 30 seconds. Leave it open alongside your charting platform. If a High confidence pair drops to Mixed mid-session, that's the market telling you momentum is fading — tighten your stop or close early.

Reading Every Indicator

Currency Strength Bars

Each currency has two bars — Daily (D) and Weekly (W). Together they show short-term momentum and longer-term trend alignment.

ElementWhat it meansHow to use it
D — GreenCurrency stronger than average todayLook to BUY this currency against weaker ones
D — RedCurrency weaker than average todayLook to SELL this currency against stronger ones
D — AmberCurrency is neutral — no significant biasAvoid until bias develops
W — CyanWeekly bullish trendWeekly bull + Daily bull = highest conviction
W — PurpleWeekly bearish trendWeekly bear + Daily bear = highest conviction sell
Score (large)Daily strength score. 50 = neutral baseline.Above 52 = bullish. Below 48 = bearish.
Score (small)Weekly strength score below the dailyUse to judge trend alignment across timeframes
↑ ↓ → arrowsDaily momentum directionUp = gaining strength. Down = losing. Right = flat.

Best Pairs — Composite Score

Important: The composite score tells you which pair has the strongest directional bias and in which direction. It does NOT tell you when to enter or where your stop loss should be. Always confirm on your chart before trading.
ColumnMeaning
PairCurrency pair. Base currency is bought or sold against the quote.
BUYBase currency is stronger than quote. Look for buy setups on this pair.
SELLBase currency is weaker than quote. Look for sell setups on this pair.
ScoreComposite divergence: Daily×60% + Weekly×40%. Higher = greater divergence. Scores above 5.0 indicate meaningful setups.
DailyRaw daily-only divergence for reference.
HighBoth daily and weekly agree on direction with strong conviction. Best setups — go to your chart.
AlignedBoth timeframes agree but one is weak. Valid but lower confidence.
MixedDaily and weekly disagree. Avoid or reduce size.

Strength Matrix

The 8×8 grid shows every currency versus every other currency on the daily timeframe.

How to read it: Find your base currency row. Scan across — green cells mean your base is stronger than that column currency, red means weaker. A row that is mostly green = very strong currency. Mostly red = very weak. Use this to cross-confirm what the strength bars are telling you.

04 — Workflow

Recommended Daily Workflow

Use this sequence every session. Total pre-trade time: 5 minutes. The platform is your filter — your chart is your trigger.

1

Market status and sessions (30 seconds)

Confirm market is open. Check which sessions are active. If weekend or global holiday — close the tab and come back Monday.

2

Economic calendar (1 minute)

Identify High-impact events in the next 2 hours. Note which currencies are affected. Switch to the High Impact tab to filter quickly.

3

Identify strongest and weakest currencies (1 minute)

Note the top 2 and bottom 2 from the Currency Strength panel. These are your trading candidates for the session. Ignore neutral currencies.

4

Cross-reference Best Pairs (1 minute)

Find pairs matching your strong vs weak candidates. Prioritise High or Aligned confidence with composite scores above 4.0.

5

Confirm with Strength Matrix (30 seconds)

Check your base currency row — mostly green. Check your quote currency row — mostly red. If the matrix confirms, the setup is structurally valid.

6

Go to your charts — find your entry (variable)

Axiom has identified the pair and direction. Now open your charting platform and look for a chart-based entry confirmation. See Section 05 for the recommended setup types.

7

Set your stop loss and take profit on the chart

Entry, stop, and target are always determined by price action on your chart — not by Axiom. The platform does not provide these levels. Use your own technical analysis to define risk.

05 — Entry Methods

Chart-Based Entry Confirmation

Once Axiom identifies a pair and direction, you must confirm the entry on your chart. Do not enter a trade based on Axiom data alone. The following are the recommended entry confirmation methods, applied to your charting platform after you've identified your setup on Axiom.

Critical rule: Axiom tells you what to trade and which direction. Your chart tells you when and where to enter, where to place your stop, and where to take profit. Never skip the chart confirmation step.
Setup 01 — Range Reversal

Range Reversal

Price has been ranging between a defined high and low. You wait for price to reach one extreme of the range and show rejection — a rejection candle, engulfing pattern, or pin bar — before entering in the opposite direction.

Axiom confirms: the currency at the range high should be showing weakness (red/bear), the currency at the range low should be showing strength (green/bull).

Best conditions: Asian session, low volatility, clear defined range. Avoid during major news events or trending sessions.
Setup 02 — Pullback and Retest

Pullback and Retest

A trend is already in place. Price pulls back to a previously broken structure level — a former resistance now acting as support, or vice versa — and shows confirmation before continuing in the original direction.

Axiom confirms: the trending currency maintains its strength score throughout the pullback. If strength inverts during the pullback, the trend may be reversing — stand aside.

Best conditions: London or New York session. Trending market with clear structure. Composite score remains High or Aligned throughout.
Setup 03 — Liquidity Sweep

Liquidity Sweep

Price runs above a swing high (or below a swing low) to grab liquidity — triggering stop losses and breakout orders — before sharply reversing. You enter after the sweep is confirmed, in the direction of the reversal.

Axiom confirms: the currency being swept should show a spike in the opposite direction on the strength panel, followed by a sharp return to the dominant direction. This is often visible in real-time on the dashboard.

Best conditions: Session opens (London open, New York open). Clear swing highs/lows visible on H1 or H4. High impact event aftermath.
Setup 04 — FVG / Imbalance

Fair Value Gap & Imbalance

During a strong impulsive move, price leaves a gap (Fair Value Gap) where little to no trading occurred. Price frequently returns to fill this imbalance before continuing in the original direction. You enter when price retraces into the FVG and shows a reaction.

Axiom confirms: the currency that created the FVG should still be showing the same directional strength. If strength has faded significantly, the FVG may not hold.

Best conditions: Post-news impulsive moves. M15 to H4 timeframes. Use in combination with a pullback and retest for higher probability.
Combining setups: The highest probability trades occur when multiple entry methods align. For example: a Pullback and Retest to a level that also contains an FVG, during a session where Axiom shows High confidence on the pair, with no High-impact events within 2 hours. That is the ideal setup.

06 — FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I enter a trade every time Axiom shows a High confidence pair?

No. High confidence means the timeframes are aligned and the divergence is significant. It does not mean entry conditions are met. Always wait for price to confirm the move at a technical level on your chart. Axiom is your pre-trade filter, not your trigger.

What score should I look for before going to my chart?

A composite score above 4.0 with High or Aligned confidence is a solid starting point. Above 6.0 with High confidence is a strong signal worth prioritising. Below 3.0 rarely produces clean setups and the risk/reward is usually poor.

The pair Axiom suggests looks terrible on my chart. Do I still trade it?

No. The chart always has the final say. If there is no clean technical setup, no clear entry, or the structure looks messy — do not trade it. Axiom narrows your focus; your chart confirms the trade. If your chart disagrees, trust your chart.

Why does the Weekly bar sometimes disagree with the Daily?

Daily and weekly timeframes often diverge during retracements. A currency can be weakening on the daily while its weekly trend remains bullish — this is normal during a pullback. The confidence column flags this as Aligned or Mixed so you know to be more cautious with sizing.

Why does the dashboard show Awaiting Feed?

The data feed from the MT5 server may have briefly disconnected. This resolves automatically within 30 seconds. If it persists beyond 2 minutes, contact support at hello@bacchusanalytics.com.

Can I use this on mobile?

Yes. The dashboard is fully responsive. Add your personal access link to your phone home screen for one-tap access alongside your charting app.
