The desk note
A written briefing before London. Short, plain, and the same shape every day so you know where to look.
The group
What happens on the desk, hour by hour.
The Morning Desk runs inside one Telegram group with a handful of topics. Most of it is quiet on purpose: the desk posts at set times, members reply in the right thread, and the moderators keep it that way.
Desk is open · Next: Review, 17:30 UK time
A weekday
Four beats, and what is posted in each.
All times UK time. Outside these blocks, member posting is limited to the 'Ask the desk' topic.
- 06:30 – 07:30 UK time
Pre-London briefing
The written desk note: overnight moves, today's calendar, what we are watching and why.
- The desk note, pinned at 06:30
- Calendar releases for the day, with the times that matter
- Members post their own plan for the session as a reply, not as a call
- 08:00 – 09:30 UK time
London open
A moderated open thread. Members say what they are watching and what would change their mind.
- One open thread per session, moderated
- Plans and reasoning only: no entries, targets or 'buy now' posts
- Moderators close the thread at 09:30
- 13:30 – 15:00 UK time
New York open
A second thread for the overlap, plus a short note when US data lands.
- A short note after any scheduled US release
- The New York thread, moderated the same way
- A reminder of the review time before the thread closes
- 17:30 – 18:15 UK time
Review
What the plan was, what happened, what we would do differently. Mistakes are the useful part.
- A review prompt from the desk
- Members share one journal entry: the plan, the outcome, the lesson
- Friday's review becomes the weekly round-up
A week
Five desk days, one day off, one look ahead.
A routine only helps if it includes rest. Saturday is deliberately quiet.
- Monday – Friday
- The full desk rhythm: note, two session threads, review.
- Friday
- The review becomes the weekly round-up: what the week's notes got right and wrong.
- Saturday
- The desk is closed. The group is read-only so members get a day off the screen.
- Sunday
- Week-ahead notes at 18:00 – 19:00 UK time, in a voice room. Recorded for members.
Formats
Six formats. Nothing else gets posted.
Session threads
One moderated thread per open. Members share plans and reasoning; nobody posts entries for others to follow.
Journal swap
Post one trade from your journal: the plan, what happened, the lesson. Replies are about process, not profit.
Week-ahead voice room
An hour on the coming week's calendar and themes. Recorded and pinned for members who cannot make it.
Ask the desk
A separate topic for questions. Moderators answer or point you to the right pinned guide.
Monthly reset
Each member reviews their own month against their own plan. The desk shares its own review too.
Moderation
Moderated in desk hours, by people with names.
x moderators work a rota so someone is on the desk from the note to the review. They act on reports in under x hours during desk hours.
- Step 1
A note
The post is removed or moved, with a short public note saying which rule and why.
- Step 2
A 24-hour mute
For a repeat. You can still read everything; you just cannot post for a day.
- Step 3
Removal
For copy-trading offers, promotion or personal attacks, removal is immediate.
Moderators never message members first, never ask for money and never offer to trade for you. If someone does, they are not us: report them in the group.
