HOW ANDY THINKS ABOUT MARKETS
Here is the truth:
Longevity in markets has very little to do with finding a “magic strategy”…
and everything to do with how you think.
Andy’s approach has been forged across crashes, bubbles, and regime shifts.
He starts from the top down, reading policy, flows, sentiment, and valuation—then drills into the details to find where the crowd is mispriced... and where risk/reward is truly favorable.
The “secret” is simple.
Develop a deep understanding of the environment.
Wait patiently for dislocations.
Structure trades so your downside is limited and your upside is meaningful.
Review your decisions relentlessly and keep ego out of the way.
Some trades play out in days. Others take months or years.
That’s why process matters more than predictions. You will face drawdowns, uncertainty, and moments of doubt, everyone does.
The difference is whether you have a framework you trust when volatility hits.
Andy’s life’s work is about that framework:
helping serious students develop a way of seeing markets that can last a lifetime.

MAJOR MARKETS ANDY HAS TRADED
GLOBAL CURRENCIES
Andy has spent his career in FX. From the New Zealand and Australian dollars to the euro, yen, and pound, he has traded currency markets through policy cycles, liquidity shocks, and major regime changes. His Kiwi trade may be the most famous, but it grew out of years spent watching how currencies respond to policy, flows, and fear.
INTEREST RATES AND GOVERNMENT BONDS
Andy has traded interest rate futures and government bonds across US, Europe, and Asia. He studies how central banks move, how yield curves shift, and where markets misplace growth, inflation, and risk.
EQUITY INDICES
Beyond FX, Andy has managed positions in major equity benchmarks including the S&P 500 and other global indices. He uses macro context to understand when markets are priced for perfection and when fear has gone too far.
COMMODITIES AND PRECIOUS METALS
Gold, oil, and other key commodities have always been part of Andy’s macro toolkit. He connects them to currency moves, real rates, and geopolitical risk so they are never traded in isolation.
EMERGING AND CROSS-MARKETS
Across more than 70 markets, Andy has operated in environments where inefficiencies can be greatest - emerging currencies, cross rates, and less followed assets that reward discipline and careful risk management.
