FAQs

While this is an advanced course, we explain economic concepts clearly with practical examples. We recommend having basic stock market knowledge first, but you don't need a formal economics background to benefit from this course.

We provide a comprehensive list of resources including Fed websites, economic calendars, and key Twitter accounts to follow. You'll also learn how to create your own economic dashboard to track the most important indicators.

Our primary focus is the Federal Reserve, but we extensively cover how ECB, Bank of Japan, and Bank of England decisions impact U.S. markets. You'll understand the interconnected nature of global monetary policy.

The fundamental principles remain constant across cycles. We teach you the frameworks that work in all environments - recession, expansion, high inflation, or deflation. We update examples quarterly to reflect current conditions.

Absolutely! Crypto markets are increasingly correlated with traditional markets, especially during Fed policy changes. Understanding macro economics helps you anticipate how rate decisions will impact risk assets like Bitcoin and DeFi tokens.

"This course connected all the dots for me. Now I understand why markets move the way they do around Fed announcements. Brooklyn's explanations of complex economic concepts are brilliant - I can actually anticipate market reactions now."

"Advanced but accessible content"

"Complex macro economics made simple. The section on reading Fed minutes was invaluable - I now know what to look for and how to position my portfolio ahead of policy changes. Worth every dollar."

"Great for crypto investors too"

"Even though I mainly trade crypto, understanding macro economics has dramatically improved my timing. Fed policies affect Bitcoin just as much as stocks nowadays, and this course taught me how to read those signals."
