# KenMacro - Institutional Macro Trading Analysis

> KenMacro is a UK macro trading desk for retail forex, gold and prop-firm traders, founded by Ken Chigbo. The desk trades two mechanical frameworks live (the Macro-Flow Confluence Pullback and the Volatility Contraction Continuation) and teaches how to read the macro (the dollar, real yields, central banks) and trade it with discipline. Every market claim is cross-referenced against multiple independent sources before publication. This file is a CURATED allowlist of the desk's strongest, cleanest reference pages, not a full site index.
