MacroMatrix FX is a macro-fundamental research tool for the foreign-exchange market. It analyses 12–18 factors per pair — interest-rate differentials, real yields, growth surprises, inflation divergence, risk sentiment, speculative positioning, and price structure — and turns them into a single macro-bias score for each of the 10 most-traded currency pairs. MacroMatrix FX is an educational analysis app. It does not provide trade recommendations, entries, exits, or personalised advice. Nothing in the app is financial advice. Forex involves substantial risk of loss. Always do your own research and consult a qualified adviser. WHAT THE APP DOES • Macro-bias scoring. A single –5.0 to +5.0 score per pair, updated every few minutes. Labels range from NEUTRAL to EXTREME BULLISH / EXTREME BEARISH. The score tells you whether macro conditions are bullish or bearish for the pair — nothing more. • Four-regime detection. Carry, Transitional, Risk-Off and Crisis. Factor weights adjust automatically so calm-market drivers don't dominate a crisis read, and vice versa. • Confidence and coherence. Each score comes with a confidence level (High / Mixed / Weak) plus a coherence metric that flags when factor families disagree. Low coherence tags the read as CONFLICT so you know conviction is low even if the score is large. • Economic calendar. Upcoming high- and medium-impact releases for all majors, with per-currency filtering that only blocks pairs containing the event currency. • Release outlook and impact review. Pre-release consensus view and a post-release surprise indicator (z-score standardised per event category) so you can see how an announcement moved the macro picture. • Cross-pair confirmation. Each currency's macro strength is checked across the basket to validate or dampen individual-pair reads. 10 SUPPORTED PAIRS EURUSD · GBPUSD · USDJPY · AUDUSD · USDCAD · USDCHF · NZDUSD · EURJPY · GBPJPY · EURGBP TIERS Free • Dashboard with 3 pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY) • Score card + fast price factors • Full economic calendar • Ad-supported Starter • All 10 pairs unlocked with full factor breakdown • Macro-bias alerts (conservative settings) • Calendar reminders (high impact, 1h lead) • No ads Pro • Everything in Starter • Release-impact alerts with event outlook • Calendar reminders fully configurable (high + medium, 30m / 1h / 4h) • Advanced tuning: gate, hysteresis, schedule, direction filter, favourites toggle PRIVACY No tracking across third-party apps or websites.

You decide when your iPhone buzzes. - The major markets in view NYSE, COMEX, LSE, LBMA, Xetra, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney. Local time per exchange, clear focus on the active session. - Hourly profile with activity score Each hour gets a value of 0 to 100, based on the last seven days.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gold Pulse at none against MacroMatrixFx's shown. Gold Pulse also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
