Trade Flows workspace

Maritime chokepoints + production-geography map over the trade-balance, currency and futures-positioning lens — where physical flows meet price

Use it when: When physical flows — shipping, chokepoints, production geography — are driving price.

Physical flows - shipping, chokepoints, production geography - which is a crude story far more often than an index one.

• Preset strip under the menu bar — one click applies the whole layout. A checkmark tracks which preset is active.
• Or ask for it: show me the trade flows.
• Every panel can be re-pointed at another symbol from its own header, and anything missing is one add <name> away.

• 1. The chokepoint and production map first.
• 2. Trade balances and currency next.
• 3. Futures positioning last, for what is already in the price.

The tell: A chokepoint headline with no move in positioning is a story. One where positioning has already shifted is a trade you are late to.

7 panels, read straight from the preset definition in the desktop build:

• Chokepoint
• Cot Report
• Currency Strength
• Fx Matrix
• Product Supplied
• Sector Rotation
• World Map

Plus 4 dense sheets — wide tables that carry a whole complex in one upstream call rather than a wall of single-series tiles:

• current Account Board
• freight Trade Table
• grain Transport
• trade Actions

These desks assume the theory. If any of it is unfamiliar, the background reading is on the learn side:

• What actually moves crude
• The economic cycle wheel: how sector leadership rotates

• All workspace presets — how docking, link groups and saved layouts work.
• Panel reference — what each panel shows, column by column.
