Mastering the Macro Gap

Global Perspective, Local Precision

Daniel Simões is an independent macro strategist with over a decade of experience navigating the complexities of the global foreign exchange markets. Based in Osaka, Japan, he operates at the heart of the Asian financial corridor, providing a unique vantage point on G10 currency flows and the critical interplay between Eastern liquidity and Western monetary policy.

Operating outside the noise of consensus-driven trading, his framework is built on the rigorous belief that price is merely a lagging indicator. Instead, he tracks the structural changes in global capital flows and sovereign yield curves to anticipate macro narratives before they are priced in by the broader market.

The Narrative-Price Gap

Daniel Simões operates on the axiom that macro regimes precede price action. In an era dominated by algorithmic execution and passive flows, a significant edge is found in the lag between a shifting fundamental reality and the market's psychological anchoring in the past.

His methodology is centered on the Narrative-Price Gap: identifying the precise window where the underlying economic story has pivoted, but institutional positioning remains misaligned. By the time a trend is obvious on a chart, the alpha has already been captured.

To maintain this anticipatory edge, Daniel monitors a proprietary mix of "First-Order" drivers: from sovereign yield curve dynamics and central bank balance sheet volatility to global liquidity impulses. This rigorous tracking of capital flow mechanics allows him to decipher narrative transitions and anticipate market direction long before it becomes consensus.

Institutional-Grade Intelligence

Beyond the public discourse lies a layer of market dynamics driven by policy nuance and liquidity cycles. Daniel Simões curates a high-conviction selection of forward-looking macro narratives, shared exclusively with a private circle of collaborators and strategic partners.

Access is strictly selective to maintain the integrity of the strategic dialogue.

Through these public case studies, he breaks down the creative process behind real-world narratives and the "why" behind global capital shifts. It is a commitment to elevating the local financial discourse, sharing institutional-grade perspectives with those who seek to transcend the noise of traditional retail trading.
