Questions

How often will I receive it?

Every trading morning — First Light is written and sent around 07:30 AEST (Sydney), which is the evening before in the US. One concise email, no noise.

What’s the difference between free and paid?

Free readers get the daily teaser and the big-picture read, plus the public track record and a full sample. Paid subscribers get the complete briefing — all trade ideas with levels, the calendar, the risk radar, and full portfolio detail.

What markets does it cover?

Gold, major FX pairs, and crypto (Bitcoin and Ether) — the instruments that move through the Asian session while the US is asleep.

Is this financial advice?

No. First Light is general market commentary and information only. Headland Research does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), and nothing in it is personal financial, investment, or trading advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell. It does not consider your circumstances — always do your own research and consider a licensed financial adviser.

Is the track record real money?

No — it is a simulated paper account. Every idea is logged on a hypothetical $10,000 book and marked to market, win or lose. Simulated results have inherent limitations and do not represent actual trading. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Once paid subscriptions open you’ll be able to cancel at any time from your account, and you’ll keep access through the end of your billing period.

How do I subscribe?

Paid subscriptions open at launch through our newsletter platform. In the meantime, read a free sample and join the free tier — free subscribers will be first to hear when the paid tier goes live.
