How to Trade FX in a Bond Crisis

Free masterclass on reading bond-market stress, building an FX trade thesis and managing risk when conviction meets chaos.

When bonds become the story, you need more than an FX chart

The headlines are loud.
The moves are fast.
Everyone has an opinion.

But what’s the trade?

Join Patrick Reid for a masterclass on reading bond-market stress, building an FX trade thesis and managing risk when conviction meets chaos.

No hindsight heroics.
No “buy here, get rich” nonsense.

Just a framework for understanding the pressure—and deciding what to do about it.

WHAT IS THE INNER CIRCLE?I traded Bund futures during the Greek crisis. This is personal.

A real institutional offsite, built for people ready to take trading seriously

The Inner Circle is our first-ever, in-person institutional experience day at our Bishopsgate offices, designed specifically for older career changers and newly retired professionals who want to take trading seriously.

You will step into a day that looks and feels like the real thing:

  • High-impact masterclasses — Institutional frameworks delivered with clarity and depth.
  • Hands-on breakout sessions — Small-group work on live market case studies.
  • Candid Q&A with real hedge fund and bank traders — Honest conversations with people who have sat on the desk.
  • Live, tradable macro — Frameworks you can actually put to use

WHO IT IS FOR

Built for older career changers

This is not a get-rich-quick event. It is designed for people who:

  • Have already had a serious career and want a second act with purpose.
  • Value discipline, process and risk management over adrenaline and guesswork.
  • Want to know, honestly, whether they have what it takes, and what the path looks like.

We will show you:

  • How institutional traders think about macro, risk and P&L.
  • The difference between trading your own account and managing external capital.
  • Where your existing skills, such as leadership, decision-making and calm under pressure, can become genuine trading edges.
INSIDE THE MASTERCLASS

Read the crisis, not just the chart

Explore how to distinguish between inflation fears, policy repricing and concerns about sovereign credibility.

Different drivers. Different questions. No one-size-fits-all trade.

Put Bunds into the bigger picture

Use my Greek-crisis experience as the starting point for examining government bonds, sovereign spreads and the euro.

The focus: what I was watching, how I approached the market and what I would want a trader to understand before taking risk.

Build an FX thesis you can actually test

Work through a practical sequence:

  • Identify the dominant market driver.
  • Examine what the market already expects.
  • Choose the currency expression.
  • Define the catalyst.
  • Set the conditions that would invalidate the trade.

An opinion is not a trade plan.

Plan for the headline you didn’t expect

Put position sizing, event exposure and exit decisions into the discussion before the trade, not after it goes wrong.

Less attachment to the forecast.
More attention to the risk.

Know when to stay out

You don’t need to trade every move.

We’ll examine what makes a setup worth considering and what makes it worth leaving alone.

Secure Your Seat

FOR SERIOUS TRADERS. NOT THRILL SEEKERS.

This masterclass is for you if:

  • You trade FX but want a clearer framework for interpreting bond-market moves.
  • You follow macro news but struggle to turn a view into a defined trade.
  • You’re an experienced professional who wants substance, not another screen full of indicators.
  • You want crisis experience discussed honestly—with risk at the centre.

You don’t need to be a bond trader, just willing to think beyond the currency chart.
