What You’ll Learn in Andy Krieger’s Masterclass
This free masterclass is 42 years of trading experience distilled into eight lessons on how a trader actually thinks, finds edge, and survives across every market cycle. It is not about setups, indicators, or an asset class. Andy opens with the arc that took him from wanting to be a professor of Indian philosophy to writing his own option pricing model at Salomon Brothers, sitting next to the Liar’s Poker crew, and running one of the largest currency options desks in the world. He explains the one philosophy that shaped his entire career, asymmetrical risk, and walks through real trades that defined it, including the famous New Zealand dollar trade he built by canvassing banks rather than reading charts.
From there, Andy teaches how to find a statistically verifiable edge in volatility compression, mean reversion, and inter-market correlation, and why the obvious setups most retail traders chase are the ones to fade. He introduces the universal pool of capital theory (early investors, trend followers, real money, retail) and shows exactly where retail usually enters and loses. He walks through the historical crises most current traders have never studied, from 1970s stagflation to 2008, and the imbalances building the next one. The masterclass closes with the mindset work most traders skip: why the Forbes 400 respect risk more than any junior trader, why accepting that you will be wrong more than half the time is the gate to a long career, and the one question most traders never ask themselves honestly, which is why you are actually trading.

About the Instructor,
Andy Krieger
Andy Krieger is one of the most aggressive forex traders the world has ever seen. He is best known for his famous trade against the New Zealand dollar, a $300 million short that crashed the currency and set the playbook George Soros would later use against the British pound. Andy did it first. He started his career at Salomon Brothers, where he traded alongside Bill Lipschutz, and he built one of the largest currency options desks of its era.
What makes Andy different is how he thinks. For the first five years of his career, he never looked at a chart. His entire approach is built on options, probabilities, information flow, and finding the places where markets are mispriced. In this masterclass, he distills 42 years of that thinking into eight lessons on how a trader actually finds edge, respects risk, and survives across every cycle.
