By now, you know a covert “war” is being fought behind the scenes…
You know that $6.6 trillion changes hands in this asymmetric war every single day…
You know that inside this C.O.B.R.A. Tactical Operations Center I’m watching this all play out in real time, right now…
And you’ve seen the power of my C.O.B.R.A. system, and how, through my extensive backtesting, it identified huge trading opportunities…
With a 90% total theoretical “win ratio...”
And an average optimum gain per trade of 160% in 45 days.
You can see this war in the headlines — if you know what you’re looking for...

You might find news stories like these boring, or even ignorable…
But to me, they scream economic warfare — and big trading profit potential.
For instance, these particular headlines reveal the economic skirmish China and Australia are engaged in right now.
Australia’s been a very outspoken critic of China over the COVID-19 crisis, you see…
So the People’s Republic has been retaliating with tariffs on certain Australian goods like wine, lobsters, barley, and more.
They didn’t put any tariffs on iron ore, however.
That’s because China is by far the world’s top steel producer…
And they buy 60% of the iron ore they need to make that steel from Australia.
Meanwhile, ore shortages in other major producer nations — like Brazil — have pushed prices dramatically higher.
This has more than offset the effects of China’s tariffs on Australia’s economy.
Skirmish winner so far: Australia.
And that’s a big reason why the Australian dollar jumped up at the tail end of 2020 and the beginning of this year.
Now check this out…
They didn’t need to go on the Forex market to do it, either.
And here’s another example of covert economic warfare tactics — and the profits they could’ve led to.

US Labels Switzerland a Currency Manipulator
-- BBC News
Again, headlines like these might put most people to sleep…
But they put me on high alert for profits from economic combat and conflict.
In this instance, the Swiss National Bank — or SNB — was trying to drive down the franc’s relative value to boost Switzerland’s export-driven economy.
The problem was that the SNB couldn’t devalue their currency enough to keep pace with the rapidly falling U.S. dollar…
Or with a general “flight to safety” into the reputable franc during the COVID crisis.
So the franc went up instead — even as the SNB’s efforts to manipulate it became obvious to the world.
In fact, the U.S. Treasury publicly called out Switzerland for devaluing the franc in December 2020.
But that’s beside the point.
The point is that during the final months of last year…
Again, that’s without direct Forex trading…
But with an ordinary kind of option play on one of the currency-tracking securities my C.O.B.R.A. system monitors.
Now, I could go on and on and on with examples…
Because, fact is, this war is never going to stop.
But rather than show you the past, and how this all could have played out in hypothetical trading simulations…
Tomorrow I’m going to take you into the future and reveal the culmination of my life’s work…
The ENTIRE C.O.B.R.A. system…
And exactly how you could prepare and potentially profit from this new age of economic warfare…
For me, it’s back to work on the finishing touches of this reveal.
For you, your “homework” is simple -- mark your calendar for 1pm tomorrow. Open the email I send you. Click on the link…
And I’ll blow the doors open on everything you need to know.
