The founding principle
A thesis must be documented before the position is taken, and the position must be published before the price moves.
This is not aspirational. It is structural. The paper portfolio is the mechanism that enforces it and the auditable record that proves it — and this methodology is published before a single trade is made.

Central-bank policy, growth differentials, and the FX regime — treated as the first and most direct translation of a macro thesis into a documentable position across G3, commodity, and EM pairs.
The Mexico–US corridor
A trade relationship exceeding USD 800 billion, systematically under-researched: peso dynamics, ADRs, FIBRAs, and the nearshoring tailwind — analyzed bilingually from primary sources.
The documented paper portfolio
