Today, we are Launching 8X Wealth
​​
8X Wealth is a groundbreaking global macro program built with years of experience in global financial markets.
​
​
​
It consists of 3 game changing online experiences that form the 8X Macro Edge:
-
An exclusive automated trading platform (ATP) that automatically trades in your own account through an application programming interface. It’s available only to 50 accredited investors worldwide; 8X ATP operates as a Select Investment Club with no management fee. It is crème de la crème technology. Reserve your seat here.
​
-
A very comprehensive training where you will acquire new skills to profit from, and better manage your risks with broader diversification in global macro markets: currencies, equity indexes, commodities and bonds. We are releasing to the public for the first time our knowledge of auction markets because we believe you will significantly improve your returns while reducing your risk by up to 80%. Please take a minute to check out the training description here.
​​
-
A private online trading room to gain macro experience. It's a private community where our macro traders share market opportunities in real-time, which will help you improve your profit taking and execution skills. The assets we trade are extremely liquid in the sense that you can get in and out of them in a matter of milliseconds with no or very low slippage. Not like real estate ...

It Started with a Random Event
I got introduced to Martin through a business partner back in 2018. A few drinks and sushi later, we decided to launch 8X Labs together.
​
Martin is a brilliant software engineer with over 20 years of experience. He acquired his knowledge in markets when he was a software engineer at Bloomberg in New York.
​
As for myself, I have a corporate finance and technology background. I was trained in global macro finance and trading more than 15 years ago by my mentor from Chicago, Linda Bradford Raschke. She was featured alongside Stanley Drukenmiller in The New Market Wizards.
​
Neither Martin nor myself were expecting this.
But life had a plan for us.
His pixelated and my analog views of global macro finance were just about to collide.
​
The opportunity became tangible. The execution became achievable. The performance became real.
It's All About the Macro Edge
When you invest in uncertain and volatile capital markets, you need a framework that includes 2 core features:
-
An edge that can generate better risk adjusted returns. One that is immune to changing market conditions. Buy & hold stocks is not an edge.
​​
-
A risk mitigating, multi-jurisdiction and long/short diversification strategy that can sustain increased volatility triggered by a paradigm shift in macroeconomics; a shift from a rule-based financial economy to a discretionary political economy.
​
​
​
Such a framework will incorporate key characteristics of a successful investment methodology, such as :
​
-
macro and micro prevailing biases;
-
market volatility profiles;
-
profit taking tactics;
-
regular cross-asset portfolio rebalancing.
It looks like this:
When I wrote these lines in late March, a sample balanced macro portfolio* would include the following assets, with each one being weighted in respect of the others in accordance with their combined risk factor:
​
-
long USDCAD;
-
long NASDAQ;
-
short RUSSELL 2000;
-
short EUROPE 50;
-
long EURCAD;
-
long NATGAS;
-
short CRUDE OIL;
-
Long silver and copper.
​
With a Proven Track Record
The 8X Macro Edge is built from a proven investment methodology that consists of :
-
Macro analysis;
-
Weighted correlation analysis;
-
Fair value analysis;
-
Relative performance analysis;
-
Narrative sentiment analysis;
-
Tactical analysis;
-
Position analysis;
-
Regular Profit taking;
-
Regular Portfolio Rebalancing.
​​
Since inception*, with the 8X Macro Edge, 8X ATP has significantly outperformed :
​
-
Nasdaq, by 115%;
-
SP500, by 94%;
-
Russell 2000, by 107.37%;
-
TSX, by 86%;
-
Macro hedge funds, by 83%.
​
While taking a lot less risk, with an average Sharpe Ratio above 3.
​
This compares to a Sharpe ratio of -0.37 for the SP500 (As of March 19). A negative Sharpe ratio means that the risk-free rate is higher than the portfolio's return.
​
​
​
​
8X ATP wins almost 9 times out of 10 in the global markets that we trade.
​
* 24 Months from January 1st, 2021 to December 31st, 2022.
​
​
Why Now?
We see too many investors gamble their savings away because they rely on a common financial knowledge that fails to adapt to changing market conditions and shifts in macro cycles.
​
​
Moreover, we are witnessing a paradigm shift from a rule-based financial economy to a discretionary political economy.
What I am going to tell you is a realistic, macro-driven investment point of view, supported by facts.
​
Did you ever ask yourself this question: what if stocks return only -2%, 0% or 2% over the next 10 or 20 years? Will it impact your retirement plans?
Japan's lost decades lasted 30 years once the great stock and real estate bubble burst in the late 1980s, with annualized stock returns of -0.32% over that period. Could the Western economies experience the same fate?
​
The rules of the investment game are changing and you will be left behind if you don’t quickly adapt your investment framework.
​
If you have 25 minutes, please watch the full interview with Stanley Drukenmiller below. If you have 2 minutes, start at 13:15 min.
​
​
Will you simply dismiss this scenario as being too pessimistic? After all, if we look at 1987, 2001, 2008 and 2020, common financial knowledge will dictate that stocks have had a pretty good track record to shoot for all time highs after a 30-50% drawdown. Right?
​
Could it be possible, however, that all this time, we have been fooled by the Big Macro Cycle?
​
​
​
​
​
“What you have learned in market economics in the past forty years will be useless in the new world. For the next twenty years, you need to get familiar with the concepts of political economy”
​
A discretionary political economy means that the executive branch of a government will change the rules of the game at will, based on what they perceive to be for the greater good.
A political economy is characterized by conflicts of interest, political agendas, big discretionary spending and capital controls that may have a material impact on your financial portfolio.
In 1933, U.S. Executive Order 6102 made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world.
These prohibitions were removed only 42 years later.
Could it happen again?
What is going on with the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) bailout plan or with the Credit Suisse (CS) forced merger is, in my opinion, a clear sign that we are entering a new economic era that will be driven by conflicts of interests and political agendas.
​
To accelerate the merger of CS with UBS in a "single weekend", Swiss regulators waived, by executive order, the legal requirement to seek shareholders' approval. As a trained corporate finance lawyer, I was astonished to see the charter of Shareholders’ Rights be thrown out the window by civil servants, with the excuse that it is for the greater good.
​
French President Macron recently announced that he will change France’s pension system without a parliament vote, invoking exceptional executive powers.
​
Have you seen POTUS' recent tweet?
​
We’re rebuilding our nation’s crumbling infrastructure from coast to coast – and we’re doing it with American workers and American materials.
By investing in our roads and bridges, we’re investing in our people and future.
Do you see what's going on?
​
These examples all show the characteristics of a political economy.
​
The Multi-Million Dollar Question is:
Do you know how to invest in the context of a political economy? What is your edge in these uncertain, volatile and inflationary market conditions?
​
At 8X Wealth, we have built a Macro Edge that is immune to changing market conditions. We can profit in deflationary, inflationary, booming and depressed market conditions.
​
We'd love to share our Macro Edge with you.
​
We have done so well because we are laser focused on leveraging price distribution and responsive activity imbalances that occur regularly in auction markets, as participants struggle to interpret new information with their own subjective framework and bias.
As market realists, we can profit from booming, depressed and neutral market conditions with better risk mitigation strategies
and shorter volatility exposure.
It's Your Choice.
