08. Macro & Fundamental Trading
This fifteen-lesson course teaches the macroeconomic drivers of Forex and Gold through economic surprises, central-bank reaction functions, interest-rate expectations, cross-asset evidence and scenario-based research. It deliberately does not re-teach the chart setups, Fibonacci ratios, order-book tools or entry models already covered elsewhere in the Advanced Forex curriculum.
