Announcing... Conks Pro

for the plumbing pro or fan

For the plumbing pro or fan…

…Conks Pro expands on each theme we cover with additional depth, graphics, color, and ideas, as well as extra features. Ideally, we’d like to share more in our regular pieces but hold back to maintain clarity for the broadest audience possible. However, this means we cut out much of what we write, and that content will be valuable for those who are eager to decode a larger puzzle or happen to be market participants. Having a Conks and a Conks Pro publication will provide the ideal structure going forward. The primary Conks publication will remain unchanged, while Conks Pro will offer extra features. If you’ve enjoyed our work over the years and want to take your knowledge to the next level, subscribing to Pro will be a worthwhile investment.

The What: A Plumber’s Toolbox

• Conks Pro “extended versions” of our signature articles on market structure & money markets delivered via (a rather swanky) PDF, containing additional depth, ideas, and color complementing the main publication, plus top plumbing content (such as relevant trade ideas & links to worthwhile reads/research).

• Conks Pro “feed”: updates, commentary, and anything worthy of your time related to STIR and plumbing. Delivered via a dedicated Substack chat feed. Plus, shorter additional notes when appropriate.

• Lastly, a perpetual 15% off code at the Conks Store (useful for when infographic prints go live, as these will likely be pricey to produce)

The Price

Think of Conks Pro as an “addon” to the primary Conks publication, not a replacement. You will likely be benefiting from the main Conks publication and want additional depth per topic, and/or you work somewhere highly relevant (i.e. a broker-dealer, liquidity desk, market maker) that will gladly provide access.

• Individuals: +$300 for the first year as a taster offer, then +$500 p/a

• Smaller Groups: The group tab also provides flexibility for smaller teams.

• Institutional (Fund, Trading Desk(s), Department, etc.): +$5000 p/a. If you are, work at, or attend a firm/institution of which many individuals would benefit, consult with your line manager and proceed to the signup page, choosing the Group or Institutional option depending on the number of readers. The Institutional price is based on ten individual users from one private or public organization accessing the content, but grants access to up to 25 users¹ within the same organization. The latter is ideal for when 10+ individuals on one or multiple desks or departments are signed up to the main publication (as is the case) and will benefit from adding the pro version.

Launch Date

As promised, the pilot (first) edition will be available to all paid subscribers of the main Conks publication (and to Pro subscribers on the Conks Pro publication, plus the feed) on² May 15th.

How to Sign Up

To reiterate, the Conks Pro publication is an “addon” to the primary Conks publication. To access all content, you’ll be subscribing to both. Both will have separate websites and chats. However, these remain accessible side by side via the Substack system, so you can easily alternate between the two. Pro emails are sent to the email you enter when signing up.

If you are not currently subscribed to Conks “regular”, we recommend starting with the main publication and then, if you want to take it to the next level, add the pro version.

If you are, however, already subscribed to Conks “Regular” and would like Conks Pro, you can subscribe via pro.conks.plumbing, where you will have access to all pro content going forward.

There is a reduced rate for individuals for the first year as a taster.
