Your Edge in Volatile Markets: How MarketModel Delivered +34.2% in 2023
Discover how MarketModel's macro-driven strategy outperformed the S&P 500 and helped investors navigate uncertainty with confidence.
Volatility tests everyone. Most traders get whipsawed by noise. But at MarketModel Trades, we don’t react—we anticipate. Our macro framework kept us steady in 2023 while the rest of the market scrambled.
And the results?
📈 +34.2% total return in 2023, outperforming the S&P 500 with discipline, not hype.
We don’t chase news cycles or meme stocks. We use macroeconomic conditions to forecast market direction and tie them directly to actionable trading setups.
Flashback to March 2023: Everyone Saw a Crash. We Saw a Setup.
It’s March 2023. Here’s what the financial media is screaming:
📰 “Housing Collapse Will Be Worse Than 2008!”
📰 “Consumer is Tapped Out!”
📰 “Tech Layoffs Signal Recession Imminent!”
Meanwhile, at MarketModel, we posted this to our Substack:
“Housing is stabilizing, not collapsing. Consumers are liquid in Treasuries and hard assets. Macro remains resilient.”
What We Saw (That Others Missed)
At MarketModel, we go deeper than surface-level data. Here's how our macro framework dissected the noise:
🔍 Lending Standards: Post-2008 regulations kept home lending sane—no subprime contagion risk.
🔍 Savings Rate Misread: Cash levels appeared low, but capital had rotated into bonds and real estate—still liquid.
🔍 Macro Tailwinds: Low unemployment, stable wage growth, and tight housing supply created a floor for the economy.
This wasn’t a bet. It was probability-weighted positioning based on macro facts—not emotion.
The Result: MarketModel Timed the Bounce While Others Waited for Doom

While others expected a second leg lower, our strategy was already scaling in—because the data said the bottom was in.
We didn’t hope. We executed.
📈 +34.2% in 2023, driven by staged scaling, tactical exits, and macro-confirmed entries.
That’s what clarity looks like in a chaotic market.
Macro Is the Beacon.
Price Is the Signal.
Strategy Is the Edge.
Throughout 2023, our S&P 500 strategy stayed grounded in one principle:
“Price follows Macro.”
And when you trust the process, you get results:
✅ Buy-the-dip setups with macro confirmation
✅ Avoiding fake breakdowns by ignoring clickbait sentiment
✅ Scaling into trends instead of chasing green candles
✅ Exiting with discipline, not emotion
