The KenMacro education stack
Macro trading education that actually teaches the framework
Three tiers. One framework. Free preview, paid course, 1-on-1 mentorship. Pick by where you are, not by what the page sells hardest.
The short answer
The KenMacro education stack has three tiers. Free framework PDF (the regime lens in downloadable form, plus daily macro reads). Macro Trading Blueprint course at £499 one-time with lifetime access (8 modules, full framework end-to-end). 1-on-1 mentorship for three weeks, application-gated (pricing shared on application). Almost everyone starts free, moves to the Blueprint when the framework needs structure, and considers mentorship after the framework is in. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own.

Why three tiers and not one course-fits-all
Most trading-education brands sell one product at one price and try to fit every buyer into it. That breaks because the buyer at zero experience and the buyer with five years of reps need different things. The KenMacro stack is three tiers because the work is genuinely different at each level: the free tier teaches the LENS so you can see if it fits before paying anything; the course tier delivers the FRAMEWORK end-to-end so you can apply it self-paced; the mentorship tier works on YOUR trades 1-on-1 so the framework sticks to your specific gaps. Each tier is the right product for a different stage. Most traders should not skip stages.
How to pick the right tier in five minutes
Start free if any of these apply: you have not read a macro framework before, you are not sure the regime-first lens fits your trading style, or cash flow is tight. Move to the course (£499) when one of three things is true: you have read the free framework and want the structured version end-to-end, you have been losing on regime-shift trades and need the trade-management layer the framework provides, or your time is more valuable than the £499 the structured course costs. Consider mentorship (application only) when the framework is already in and the gap is applying it to YOUR specific trades, not learning the framework itself. Mentorship without the framework is the wrong shape; framework without mentorship is enough for many traders to keep compounding.
What the framework actually is, in one paragraph
Regime first. The market is always in one of four regimes (growth, fear, inflation, liquidity), and the same chart pattern means different things in different regimes. Real yields next; they are the master variable for gold, the dollar, and risk assets simultaneously. The dollar’s dual role (safe-haven AND inflation absorber) layered on top, with regime determining which role dominates. Intermarket reads as confirmation or invalidation. Technical execution last. The whole framework reads like institutional desk work because that is where it came from (Ken’s 18 years on the London floor, prop + hedge fund execution). All three tiers teach the same framework at different depths.

Frequently asked questions
What is the KenMacro education stack?
Three tiers: free framework PDF (top-funnel preview), Macro Trading Blueprint course at £499 one-time with lifetime access, and 1-on-1 mentorship with Ken Chigbo, a three-week intensive, application-gated (pricing shared on application).
Which tier should I start with?
Almost everyone starts with the free framework PDF and daily insights at kenmacro.com/macro-insights. Move to the Blueprint course (£499) when the framework needs structure. Mentorship fits AFTER the framework is in, for traders who want 1-on-1 work on their specific trades.
How much does macro trading education cost at KenMacro?
Free tier: £0. Paid course: £499 one-time, lifetime access. Mentorship: priced on application, three weeks, application-gated.
What’s the difference between the course and the mentorship?
The course (£499) is self-paced and teaches the framework. The mentorship is 1-on-1 work on your specific trades after the framework is in. Most mentees come through the Blueprint first.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes on the course: 14-day refund window if the course was not as described. The mentorship is application-gated which is the protective layer (wrong-fit applicants are turned away explicitly, so refund requests are rare).
Can I skip the framework and go straight to mentorship?
Not recommended. Mentorship applies the framework, it does not teach it from scratch. The desk turns away mentorship applicants who do not have the framework in because the work does not land without that foundation.
