Greg Capra
Founder & CEO, Master Trader
Greg Capra is a pioneer in technical analysis and online trading education, dedicating over 30 years to perfected, rules-based execution. In 1994, Greg founded Pristine Capital Holdings, developing the world-renowned "Pristine Method." His approach revolutionized chart timing by teaching students how to read raw candlesticks, volume, and NYSE market internals bar-by-bar, completely eliminating dependency on lagging retail indicators.
As a master day and swing trader, Greg cemented his legacy by winning the MoneyShow Live Trading Challenge six consecutive times. He is the co-author of the electronic trading industry's seminal book, Tools and Tactics for the Master Day Trader, and author of Trading Tools and Tactics. Over his decorated career, Greg has trained thousands of retail investors, hedge fund managers, and professional market makers. As CEO of Master Trader, Greg remains passionately focused on teaching individuals how to think, not what to think.
"Our goal is to teach you how to make your own decisions with confidence."
Dan Gibby
Co-Founder & Lead Mentor
Dan Gibby is a co-founder and the lead options strategist at Master Trader, bringing over 25 years of high-volume options and equities execution to his students. Prior to his trading career, Dan practiced corporate law as an attorney, an analytical background that heavily shaped his precise, mathematical approach to position risk modeling, money management, and capital preservation.
Dan spent over a decade as a Pristine Certified Trainer before partnering with Greg Capra to establish Master Trader. He specializes in designing defined-risk cash-flow strategies, combining naked price action with credit spreads, debit spreads, and iron condors to exploit market volatility. Dan co-leads our Green Trading Room, providing active, live market commentary and trade execution coaching to thousands of members daily.
"Discipline, risk control, and strategic option structure form the pillars of long-term market consistency."
