We Turn Economic Data Into Trading Clarity
Since 2019, we've been helping traders in South Korea understand how global economic shifts actually affect their positions. No mystical predictions—just practical macroeconomic context.
Started With a Simple Problem
Back in late 2018, I kept watching traders make perfectly logical technical decisions that got destroyed by central bank announcements they didn't see coming. The information was out there, but it was scattered across dense reports and financial news that assumed you had an economics degree.
So we built something different. A platform that translates macroeconomic movements into language that actually makes sense when you're looking at charts. We focus on the stuff that moves markets—interest rate shifts, inflation trends, currency policy changes—and explain what it means for your actual trading decisions.
We're not here to tell you what to buy. We're here to give you the economic context that helps you make smarter decisions with what you already know.
How We Break Down Economic Complexity
Most macroeconomic analysis is written for economists. We rebuild it for people who trade.
Track What Matters
We monitor central bank decisions, inflation reports, GDP shifts, and currency movements across major economies. Then we filter out the noise and focus on data that historically moves markets.
Translate to Trading Context
Raw economic data doesn't help much. We explain what a hawkish Fed statement means for currency pairs, or how South Korean export numbers might affect regional markets. Context you can actually use.
Connect Historical Patterns
Markets have seen most situations before. We show you how similar economic conditions played out in the past—not as predictions, but as reference points for your own analysis.
Clear Over Clever
Economic analysis loves jargon. We don't. If a Fed policy shift matters for your trading, we'll explain it in straightforward terms. You shouldn't need a PhD to understand why the dollar just moved.
Context Without Predictions
We won't tell you what the market will do—nobody actually knows. But we will show you the economic forces at play and how they've influenced price action historically. The trading decisions stay yours.
South Korea Focus
Global macro matters, but so does regional context. We pay special attention to how international economic shifts affect Korean markets, currency flows, and trading conditions specific to this region.
Built by Traders
Our team has spent years actually trading—not just analyzing. We know what information helps at 2am when you're deciding whether to hold a position through a central bank announcement. That experience shapes everything we build.
Who's Behind This
We're a small team based in Jeonju, focused on making macroeconomic analysis accessible to traders who don't have Bloomberg terminals or economics backgrounds.

Founder & Lead Analyst
Started trading forex in 2015 and quickly realized technical analysis alone wasn't enough. Spent the next few years learning why economic data moves markets, often the hard way. Built routehubcom because I kept wishing someone would just explain this stuff clearly. Now I get to do that for other traders dealing with the same frustrations I had.
