Your chart may be clear. Your context is missing.
The Blueprint gives you a repeatable way to form the view before choosing the trade.
The macro process
Five stages, from the big picture to the trade. The same process the desk uses to read any market.
Regime
Inflation, growth, liquidity and risk, the environment every trade sits inside.
Central banks
Policy direction, rate expectations and the divergence between them.
Transmission
How it flows into yields, the dollar, currencies, gold, oil and equities.
Expression
Which market best expresses the macro view you have formed.
Execution
Use technical analysis to time the entry and manage the risk.
It is the same read behind the live Macro Regime Board, taught step by step so you can build it yourself.
What you will be able to do
Read central-bank direction
Anticipate policy rather than react to it once the market has already moved.
Understand CPI, NFP and FOMC
Know what each major release means for central-bank policy and which markets it moves, instead of guessing.
Build a fundamental currency bias
Form a directional view on a pair from the macro up, not the chart alone.
Understand the dollar, yields and gold
See how real rates and the dollar drive gold and risk, and trace the chain.
Select the right market expression
Choose the currency or asset best able to express the view you have formed.
Combine macro with technical execution
Let context set the direction and let technicals time and manage the trade.

Inside the Blueprint
Real lessons connecting macro data to price, not slides.
The framework in action
One possible transmission chain the framework would examine:
What the framework examines
Whether the shock lifts real yields and the dollar, how central banks are likely to respond, and which market cleanest expresses the view, rather than trading the headline directly.
What would invalidate it
A fall in real yields, a dovish central-bank turn, or safe-haven demand overwhelming the dollar, any of which flips the read on gold. The point is a process, not a prediction.
Built from years of reading markets professionally
Ken Chigbo has spent 18 years in markets, beginning as an institutional market analyst before moving into independent trading and education.
The Blueprint distils the process he uses to connect economic information with currencies, commodities and price action.
The framework in practice
How the process handles a US CPI release
Take a US CPI release. Before the number, the Blueprint has you write down what the market expects, how the Fed is likely to respond to a hot or a soft print, where US yields and the dollar sit, and what is already priced in. After the release, you compare the reaction with that map and decide whether the move confirms or contradicts the regime. Only then do you go to the chart for an entry and the level that would prove the view wrong.
In the lessons
The Inflation Data and CPI & PPI lessons work through this with real releases, including the US CPI print of 10 November 2022, when a lower than expected number turned the dollar sharply lower and set a theme that ran into 2023 as markets priced a slower pace of Fed hikes.
A recent release
On 14 October 2026, US CPI for September came in hot at 3.7% against 3.6% expected. The dollar and Treasury yields rallied first, as the textbook chain predicts, then gave the move back by the next day as a sell-off in AI-linked stocks pushed money into government bonds. Working out why the first reaction did not last is what the process is for.
Is the Blueprint for you?
This is for you when
- You understand basic charts but lack macro context
- You struggle to translate news into a market view
- You want a repeatable top-down process
- You are willing to study and apply the framework
It is not for you when
- You want entry signals to copy
- You expect guaranteed returns
- You do not yet know basic trading terminology
- You want a shortcut without doing the analysis
Macro gives you direction. Technicals give you execution.
The Blueprint sits above your technical analysis, it does not replace it. Together they give you a reason to be in the trade and a way to manage it.

Questions, answered
Is this suitable for beginners?
