This dashboard allows users to interact with CNS's suite of advanced tools, offering insights and data-driven decision-making that form a critical component of our product offering. In the following guide, we’ll walk you through accessing the Markets Dashboard, its features, and how to use it effectively. **Video Walkthrough: Markets Dashboard Overview** ### **Step 1: Login to CNS** Visit the CNS Treasury website at [www.cnstreasury.com](http://www.cnstreasury.com?hsLang=en). Use the navigation bar at the top of the screen to click **Login**, bringing you to the login page: ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-21-2024-10-45-19-2889-PM.png?width=688&height=359&name=image-png-Aug-21-2024-10-45-19-2889-PM.png) At the login screen, simply enter your provided details and click **Login** to access the system. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at **support@cnstreasury.com**. ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-21-2024-10-50-28-6685-PM.png?width=688&height=480&name=image-png-Aug-21-2024-10-50-28-6685-PM.png) After logging in, you’ll be taken to your workspace, where you’ll find all functionalities in the left-hand menu, including Dashboards for various overviews, the Forward Calculator under the FX menu, and a Guides section where you can upload or delete files as needed. ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-09-24-40-7279-AM.png?width=688&height=349&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-09-24-40-7279-AM.png) --- ### **Step 2: Navigate the Dashboards** In the **Dashboards** menu, you’ll find several tools and overviews, including FX market insights, news, comparison charts, rate changes, and more. The **FX Market Overview** delivers a comprehensive view of currency pair comparisons, indexes, bonds, top stories, and charts—all conveniently displayed on a single screen. ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-10-04-19-7222-AM.png?width=688&height=316&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-10-04-19-7222-AM.png) #### **Example: Exploring the NZDUSD Overview** The interactive dashboards let you adjust time intervals on currency pair charts. By analyzing charts for the same currency pair across different timeframes, you can perform multi-timeframe analysis, enabling you to identify both short-term and long-term trends. This method enhances signal validation, risk management, strategy diversification, and overall market understanding, leading to more informed and accurate trading decisions. ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-10-12-36-8005-AM.png?width=688&height=344&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-10-12-36-8005-AM.png) --- ### **Step 3: How to Use the Forward Calculator** To access the **Forward Calculator**, click **Fwd Calc** in the dropdown menu under **FX**: ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-09-29-51-8498-AM.png?width=688&height=179&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-09-29-51-8498-AM.png) #### **Example: Using the Forward Calculator as a US Importer** Suppose you're purchasing USD against the NZD. Enter the details for your contract, including the amount and the planned settlement date. The forward calculator will compute the forward points based on your inputs. For instance, you might enter the following trades: - **USD $1,000,000** at the forward rate for November 20, 2024 (three months from August 22, 2024). ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-21-2024-11-24-07-6367-PM.png?width=688&height=189&name=image-png-Aug-21-2024-11-24-07-6367-PM.png) - Additional trades for **$500,000** and **$250,000** on different dates. ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-11-18-05-7783-AM.png?width=688&height=191&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-11-18-05-7783-AM.png) These calculations provide flexibility, whether you're modeling potential trades or preparing real orders. On the bottom right, use the **Export** button to save your data in `.csv` or Excel format. This allows you to further analyze the data or send it to your bank for processing. Below is an example of the exported data: ![](https://kb.cnstreasury.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-22-2024-11-29-36-7863-AM.png?width=688&height=246&name=image-png-Aug-22-2024-11-29-36-7863-AM.png) --- ### **Explore the Full Product Offering** The Markets Dashboard offers a vital set of tools designed to elevate your FX trading strategy.
