The Path Forward
Macro Mind gives you a framework, not a guarantee. Your job now is to apply it consistently, refine it continuously, and stay humble about what you don't know.
You've completed Macro Mind. Here's how to continue your development.

The Long Game:
Macro literacy is a skill that compounds. Each cycle you trade through deepens your pattern recognition. Stay systematic, stay humble, and stay learning.
Remember:
- You won't get every regime right
- You won't catch every transition
- You will lose money sometimes
- The edge is being right more often, not always
