Everything you need to know before getting started.

MacroScope is a systematic, regime-aware allocation framework that reads growth, inflation, and liquidity to classify the macro environment and generate portfolio signals — with no discretionary overrides. Two layers do the work: the regime engine classifies where we are in the cycle and sets the allocation across five purpose sleeves (growth, liquidity, real assets, defensive, cash); a vol-adjusted momentum tournament picks the two strongest names within each sleeve. Free and Standard tiers give you the individual pillars; Premium gives you the composites, regime classifier, and ready-made portfolio allocation.

No. The free and standard tiers show you clear charts with explanations of what each pillar measures and why it matters in the current cycle. Premium goes further — it classifies the regime and produces a portfolio allocation, so you don't need to interpret the data yourself. Whether you're new to macro or deeply experienced, the system is built to be transparent about its logic.

Our models use publicly available macroeconomic, market, and financial data from institutional sources including the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and BLS. Each pillar aggregates multiple indicators into proprietary composites using our own normalization and weighting methodology. No paid terminal or data subscription is required on your end.

The signals update daily, but the portfolio rebalances on a fixed monthly schedule — so you don't need to watch it day to day. The daily data shows you where the cycle stands; the allocation itself only changes at the monthly rebalance, or when a regime shift triggers a move mid-month. Low turnover is by design: it keeps trading costs and taxes down and removes the temptation to react to noise. Check it once a month.

The underlying macro signals — growth pillars, inflation channels, liquidity pillars, the regime classifier — update daily or weekly as new data prints. Economic releases like CPI and initial claims refresh as soon as they're available. The signals are always current; you act on them monthly.

Standard gives you full access to all individual pillars and channels across growth, inflation, and liquidity — you see the data and form your own view. Premium adds the composite signals, the 4-regime classifier, and a regime-driven portfolio allocation with a vol-adjusted momentum tournament. Standard gives you the macro picture; Premium gives you the portfolio allocation.

Gold sits in the defensive sleeve, where it competes for allocation in regimes where capital preservation and safe-haven demand dominate — particularly Deflation and Stagflation. Bitcoin sits in the liquidity sleeve, where it competes against other high-beta risk proxies. Neither is a permanent position. They win their sleeve when the regime favors their role and their momentum score is highest among the pool's candidates. The system holds them when the conditions confirm their case — by a rules-based decision, not a structural thesis.

No. MacroScope is an analytical tool. Nothing on this platform constitutes financial advice, investment recommendations, or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities. All portfolio signals are based on systematic models and should be used as one input in your own decision-making process. Always do your own research.
