About Marcus Thornfield
Marcus spent 15 years on trading desks in the City of London before moving into independent analysis and education. He started his career at a mid-sized hedge fund in Canary Wharf in 2008, which meant his first year in the industry was also one of the most volatile in modern financial history. That experience shaped how he thinks about risk. He holds a degree in Economics from the University of Edinburgh and a CFA charterholder designation. His analysis tends to cut straight to the point: macro drivers, positioning data, and what the price action is actually telling you.
Writing style: Direct and data-driven. No-nonsense. Backs every claim with a number or a chart.
