Macro.... when to stop?

I am trying to get my head around the maths of a pure macro style game vs say someone who cuts probes and does a hard push....

I presume the theory would be that you would have a superior army for a short period if you stopped your macro style game and just built up your army with the income you had. The question is what is the better style of game? Which one gives you more wins on the ladder? Bearing in mind I am in Silver not GM or Masters....

It seems everyone can now play SC2 to some degree and have learn enough builds / timing pushes to make life rather difficult for macro syle play in the lower leagues.

A majority of people have commented on my game and have suggested I just need to keep up my macro but this isnt producing the results on the ladder like I would expect. More often than not I am hit with timing pushes over and over again. Is this what I should be doing? Scatch that... should I have this up my sleeve?

Next question would be what are some of the better timing pushes used for protoss.... I have tried with a push when say +1 hits but not really gifting me a lot of wins.

Lets presume the scouting is done and the unit composition is correct... my micro is obviously not at GM level but neither is my opponents.

WHAT SAY YOU?
