My 4-Step Blueprint for Trading Global Markets

[Image] My 4-Step Blueprint for Trading Global Markets Over decades of professional trading, I’ve created an edge by taking in a lot of big-picture economic information. This rich source of knowledge acts like a roadmap, helping me navigate the complex maze of the global stock market — a place where every decision is a strategic move in a 3D chess game. But I get that understanding macro trading may seem like a daunting task… Lucky for you, I’m here to help… Why listen to me? That’s simple. My experience comes from the trenches of Wall Street, where I was part of a trading team that turned $5.1 million in seed money into more than $700 million in live, real-money trading. We also went an entire decade without a losing quarter. So, if you wanna learn how to trade like a seasoned pro… Keep reading and I’ll show you five simple steps to becoming a macro trading mastermind. Step 1: Follow the Money As The Wu-Tang Clan famously said, "Cash rules everything around me." And so, mastering macro trading starts with getting to know the U.S. Dollar really well — the reserve currency of the world economy. It's not just the primary currency that the world relies on. The U.S. dollar also sets the pace for the forex market, the world's largest financial market. Your first task? Follow the money. Start trying to understand how the dollar interacts with other key currencies like the Euro, Pound, and Yen… Then, discover how this is the foundation of successful global trading plans. Step 2: Understand Interest Rates and Bond Markets Next, let’s discuss the fascinating world of interest rates and bond markets. These markets have a close relationship with the currency markets, where changes in one can cause big effects on the other. Think about the massive moves immediately following interest rate decisions that we’ve seen in the U.S. stock market over the past few years. The Federal Reserve, and specifically how the central bank handles interest rates, is one of the biggest factors that affects the U.S. economy. WARNING: If you think you can be a competent trader without understanding rates and bonds … think again. So, get to know the major bond markets in the U.S., Europe, and Japan and you’ll start to uncover hidden details that greatly influence the stock market. Step 3: Explore the World of Commodities In the ever-changing scene of global trading, commodities are a vital area of macro trading knowledge. From gold to oil, commodities are traded actively all over the world … yet often overlooked by retail traders. And that’s a mistake… Right now, one commodity is driving my trading strategy more than anything — oil. The upside move in oil stocks over the past month has completely changed the backdrop of global markets. It’s also affecting the stocks I’m trading and my predictions for the fall season. For example, on Monday I alerted a commodity-driven long trade opportunity in APA Corp. (NASDAQ: APA) 9/15/23 $43 Calls. The following Monday catalysts led to my trade thesis: - APA was getting drilled to the downside (pardon the pun) with the rest of the oil services sector… - The stock was down a market-leading five days in a row… - The chart was nearing a massive support level at $42.63 (according to my [StocksToTrade]( levels indicator)... - As oil stocks were sitting at or near recent highs, I was looking for another panic squeeze in WTI crude to set Oil stocks on fire - Oil stocks were lagging behind the commodity itself, leading me to believe they were overdue to catch up. And sure enough, I was right… APA 5-day, 5-minute chart — courtesy of [StocksToTrade.com]( When I alerted the $43 Calls, they were trading for $0.60… By Tuesday morning, the contracts were up 130%, trading for $1.30 … a potential 116% gain overnight. See how macro trading can lead to potentially massive profits?! Bottom Line: You should learn how commodities affect the stocks you’re watching and start trading accordingly. Step 4: Look at the Big Picture Equipped with knowledge from these three key areas, you'll be ready to take a broad view of the trading world. This broader perspective allows you to approach the stock, options, commodities, and currency markets with a well-planned strategy. In other words, I advocate doing your best to get a “30,000-foot view” of the markets. You’ve gotta see the forest through the trees. What exactly do I mean by this? Instead of watching a few individual stocks, try to understand the larger macro picture first. If you fail to follow the big picture, it could lead to costly trading mistakes. Here are a few examples of what not to do… - Letting small signs of a potential breakout (or breakdown) scare you out of a winning play… - Only watch charts with shorter time frames (when you should be paying more attention to the daily and weekly charts)... - Allowing market volatility to shake you out of your gut instincts (or overall strategy)… Bottom line: Trust your gut. The stock market (especially this one) will constantly try to fake you out of your conviction. Don’t let it succeed. There’s usually way more to gain from sticking to your initial conviction than in allowing short-term trading signals to veer you away from your overall game plan. So, ask yourself: What larger economic catalysts are helping (or hurting) individual sectors (or stocks)? By doing so, the macro-based moves to make in your own trading will become clearer as you understand more about how money moves throughout the world. Closing Thoughts Don’t be intimidated by macro trading! You’re in good hands. I’ve spent my entire career focusing on macro trades. I’m here to help, and it’s not as difficult as it seems. Start embracing the power of global market moves.
