Fundamental Analysis.
Prices in the forex and exchange markets move on news, so this trading mobile app carries the news with the charts.
Fundamental analysis is another tool for forecasting price dynamics, and original fundamental data is available straight from Trade Master 9.

Fundamental Analysis in Short.
Charts show what has happened; fundamentals explain much of why, and a trading mobile app for operations in the Forex and exchange markets is more useful when both live in the same window. Trade Master 9 broadcasts news reports from international agencies straight into the platform and includes an economic calendar covering the main macroeconomic indicators of different countries.
Fundamental analysis, in practice, is the constant monitoring of open-source economic and industrial data used to forecast price dynamics. For a currency trader that means interest rate decisions, inflation prints and employment figures. For someone trading indices it extends to growth data and earnings seasons. For commodities it reaches into inventories and supply disruptions. The common thread is that these arrive on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable in advance.
Having the feed inside the terminal changes the habit rather than the analysis. Instead of checking a separate site and hoping you did not miss anything, you see what is due before the session starts and can tie a sudden move to a release as it lands. That is often enough to decide whether a setup is worth taking at all, or whether the sensible trade is to wait twenty minutes.
Traders who ignore fundamentals entirely can still do well, but they tend to lose money on the same days each month, which is a clue worth acting on. None of this predicts the reaction. Markets respond to the gap between expectation and outcome, not to the number itself, which is why experienced traders use fundamentals mainly to decide when not to have a position on. Combined with the charting tools described elsewhere in this section, it covers both halves of the picture. The home page has the full detail on the app.
Watching a Release Hit the Screen.
Where a release shows up in TM9 2.0: real-time quotes, open positions, the portfolio hub, a EUR/USD chart with alerts and the margin panel.
The Other Half of the Picture.
News from international agencies and an economic calendar, delivered straight into the platform.
What fundamental analysis is for
The aim is the constant monitoring of various open-source economic and industrial indicators, used to forecast the price dynamics of financial instruments.
News in the platform
News reports from international news agencies are broadcast directly into the platform, providing you with the essential financial information.
The economic calendar
Scheduled releases from different countries are listed in the calendar, so you can see which instruments a coming number is likely to touch before you place a trade.
How Fundamentals Get Used.
Three notes on using releases defensively rather than predictively.
How does in-app news change the way you trade?
Having news and the calendar in the same window as the chart changes the habit: instead of checking a separate site, you see what is due today before placing a trade, and you can tie a move to a release as it happens.
Does fundamental data tell you when to trade?
Fundamental data explains context, not timing. It is most useful for knowing when not to have a position on, which is why experienced traders read the calendar before the session rather than during it.
Which traders benefit most from fundamental analysis tools?
This page suits traders who hold positions through releases, and anyone who has been caught by a scheduled number they did not know was coming.
Where Fundamentals Sit.
Beside the chart, deciding whether to act on what it shows.
Used defensively more often than predictively
Knowing a significant release is due at a particular time rarely tells you which way a market will go. What it does tell you is whether the setup on your screen is worth taking now, worth taking smaller, or worth leaving until the dust settles — and that single habit prevents a category of losses that has nothing to do with the quality of the technical read.
Good to know
TM9 is a software development company and does not provide investment or brokerage services for Fundamental Analysis users.. The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends. Trading carries a real risk of loss, and signals or robots are tools rather than financial advice.
