Unparalleled Research, Training and Community For Traders and Investors

The Macro Ops Difference

This isn’t your Grandfather’s newsletter… In fact, this isn’t even a newsletter. So then what is Macro Ops? Glad you asked… MO is a service that exists to help make you a calculating, ruthlessly efficient, and consistently profitable investor in markets. To do this, we provide institutional-grade research, unparalleled training and tools, and the world’s best community of dedicated traders and investors.

You can think of us as the Seal Team of investing research. We trade real money, track and share our verified results in real-time, and provide you with everything you need to consistently win… and win BIG. Members of our “Collective” (that’s what our premium service is called) include legendary big-name investors, up and coming hedge fund managers, and die-hard retail traders of all stripes. The one common denominator we all share is a deep love and respect for the game of markets.

Our Mission

We’re dedicated to rapid evolution. The greatest thing about the game of speculation — besides all the money you can make — is that there’s no limit to the amount you can learn or to how good you can get. In this game stasis = death and the only way to survive is to thrive. Speculation requires constant forward progression. We’re studying and improving our game 24/7 and our mission is to provide you with that accumulated knowledge, both in research, theory, and a killer community.

Our Vision

Speculation is competition and profit is how we keep score. Profit is also what puts food on our table and creates the financial freedom so many crave. Our first two directives enable the third. The more we learn and share… the more we profit. Our mission is to create a positive feedback loop for the Operator community: More learning —> More sharing —> More profit —> More Operator resources —> More learning —> and so on…
