    I never left a review before, contribution of Niels and his guest deserves it: I always learn a lot, the episodes both breath (macro, several asset classes etc) and depth (detailed flow/position updates snd its impact on price action in the underlying). I always learn a lot, special shout out to Cem for sharing his crumbs.
