What Is The Macro Frame?

Macro investing, through a human lens.

Markets reflect human nature. They’re rougher, wilder, and harder to predict than any mathematical model.

We see this in how patterns play out on the price chart, fractals repeating across every scale and timeframe. These repeat because human psychology repeats. Markets have memory. They remember the last crash. They gravitate to round numbers, as we do. Markets are not randomness, they are the collective us.

To understand price movements, you have to understand the humans behind them. The Macro Frame turns that into practice.

Here I share my journey in macro investing as a full-time profession, a learning journey, openly documented. I’m developing a framework that blends behavioural patterns, subtle, often anecdotal, and hard to quantify, with technical and fundamental analysis.

This is where I solidify my thinking on where to invest and why. I believe human creativity and psychological edge will matter more than ever in a world shaped by data-crunching AI. Ultimately, I’m here catching market trends before they show up in the data, and sharing that process with you.


Perspective

As a teenager I built online businesses and learned firsthand about risk and reward.

That curiosity led to five years in banking and fintech, then ten in the cryptocurrency industry, riding four complete cycles through every emotion a market can produce. Full-throated pessimism. Skepticism. Optimism. Euphoria.

Participating in the psychological rollercoaster of a parabolic run, where riches are made. Then riding the hockey-stick down, where the pain hits with great force. At each stage, the emotionally-driven response is almost always the wrong one.

So the people who win long-term have learned to override themselves. The market rewards that self-mastery. Conviction comes first, then patience, and the willingness to hold when everything in you is screaming to sell.

Figuring out what to buy, when to trim, when to hold. This publication is where I document the process of getting better at it.

My work is currently free, until one day it won’t be.
