Frequently asked questions
1What does the CTS measure?
How attractive it is to trade the interest-rate differential on the best pair: carry differential (up to 50), alignment with the active session (up to 30), rate leadership (up to 20), and a news-risk penalty. It also names the top pair.
2How do I read the number?
Four tiers: no carry, weak, moderate, and strong. The higher it is, the clearer the differential in favor of the top pair. Tap each component’s (i) icon to see its contribution.
3Why does it sometimes say “Data not available”?
The CTS needs interest-rate data (FRED). If that source is unavailable we show an honest state instead of a score with a fallback value that would read as real.
4How often does it update?
Every 60 seconds while the market is open. On weekends it freezes with a countdown to the reopen; the 7-day history stays visible.
5Is it a trading recommendation?
No. It is an informational and educational tool about the carry-trade environment, not a signal or financial advice.
