Fundamental / FX Futures & US Treasuries
The Macro Monitor trading program is a discretionary managed futures strategy with a primary focus on the FX Futures and US Treasury markets. The trading principal, David Zelinski, has gained extensive knowledge of these markets throughout his career. He began his career at a regional broker-dealer in Memphis, TN in the early 2000s before leaving to join Nesvick Trading Group to focus primarily on agricultural markets. However, his analysis on agricultural markets has always relied heavily on analyzing the trade impacts of changing FX Futures and interest rates, and it is this analysis and expertise that he brings to the Macro Monitor trading program.
