Macro-to-Micro by Samantha LaDuc

My thing is market timing.

Across all assets & timeframes.

While bridging the gap between institutional & retail.

So clients can get the trade before it happens.

I run a full-service financial research firm at LaDucTrading.com. I have a fabulous bench of ten contributors from macro-to-micro as well as personally distill the incoming & durable macro & sector rotation themes into actionable trades (the micro) across chase, swing & trend durations.

For this substack, I decided to offer a "mini-me" product. This gives you a taste of what I deliver personally over at LaDucTrading, but without my full team, extensive client engagement & trade alerts.

What You Get Vs. What You Don’t Vs. What You’re Missing

Basic Substack Membership gets you my deep-dive macro-focused research & analysis that forms the basis for my Big Market Calls & Thematic Watchlists. These MARKET THOUGHTS do not provide the daily trade set ups I review with Substack PRO members. You get my hyper focus on market themes/direction, currencies/dollar, rates/bonds, commodities/gold/oil not to mention quant/volatility/macro event risk warnings.

PRO Substack Membership gets you a live recording of my daily trading room plus daily MARKET CATCH notes & AI briefing doc to capture my macro-to-micro education, analysis & trades. Then I drill in to my highest conviction market direction levels/targets, sector rotation themes and stock specific trade set ups - with relevent option analysis - so you can better position, profit & protect.

I spend the bulk of my days delivering my detailed insights & trade set ups with our CHASE/CLUB/EDGE clients in a custom Slack workspace with my team of ten client-dedicated, subject-matter experts & full-time traders/analysts. This includes additional benefits that are not provided via Substack:

• Samantha’s LIVE trading room access with custom engagement on any asset or timeframe.

• Our Huddle Team which follows LIVE with market commentary & active trading until market close with custom trade support & options education.

• Our Contributors’ expert analysis, whether from a Classical Economist to a Quant CIO, where each of us posts our analysis & trades daily for & engage directly with clients from retail to institutional.

• Our Portfolios App tracks our Contributors’ trades across CHASE, SWING, TREND, INCOME & FUTURES.

• And for EDGE members, we offer up a Special Situation Value & Fixed Income Portfolio managed by Geoffrey Fouvre, along with direct access to Geoffrey & Samantha.

More On My Process & Some Nice Words In Support

Making the complex simple is hard.

1. My intermarket analysis: To spot key inflection points in cross-asset divergences. This helps me predict direction of macro moves AND size up market breadth for intensity and duration of move.

2. My macro analysis: A technical review of US dollar, 10Y/bonds, oil, China/Japan FX, Volatility, Credit, Fed Bank Reserves... PLUS my own net buying/selling indicators. This helps support conviction on my market views.

3. My sector rotation analysis: A deep-dive on relative strength & momentum moves across growth & value, along with my custom scans. This helps me spy the money rotation and best stocks that will run hottest in the pack.

4. My volatility analysis: A review of key macro-event risks, technical price levels, as well as quant & option positioning that can 'interrupt' or ignite a market direction. This also helps me “lawyer the trade” so as to know when I'm wrong.

5. My quant option structure analysis: A study of flows versus macro triggers that help me "swim with the current rather than against it.” This is where I help clients navigate when to press long or short, when to protect and when to stand aside.
