Ethan Vale has spent the last twelve years on fast desks and market edit teams, publishing more than 9,000 session updates. At Trade Engine he anchors the Daily Brief, distilling futures, macro prints, sector breadth, and notable single-name movers into a tight read that respects the opening bell. Readers can expect a consistent structure that separates signal from noise, highlights catalysts on deck, and flags positioning tells in rates and volatility. Ethan’s wrap notes are widely forwarded on trading forums and Discord servers, and he is a common guest on trading podcasts. He tracks how narratives evolve from pre-market to close and closes the loop with a post-settlement look at what stuck. Off duty he is a process nerd who times his coffee to the economic calendar and preps each brief with a fixed checklist.
