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."
