About us

A trading floor for serious traders. Operating since 2018.

I'm Irek Piekarski. I trade for a living, and I built Trading MasterClass so I wouldn't do it alone. Everything taught here is the system I run.

The program, the floor, and a one-on-one partnership with me. No passengers.

Trading is the work. Freedom is the point.

Why we do it

I never wanted a career. I wanted to own my time — and go as far as the work could take me.

Trading is the rare work that gives both: real money, and no one to answer to but the market. No office. No boss. No ceiling someone else sets.

The money is half of it. The freedom is the rest.

What we do

Most days look the same.

Research in the morning.

Execute when the setup shows up.

Review what happened.

Build tomorrow's plan.

Fourteen years in, it's still those four things. No secret, no grail — the same loop, run at a standard most people won't hold. Not the trades. Not the wins. The standard.

“The work itself is what makes the freedom real.”
Who we help

Three kinds of trader. One standard.

Nobody is handed a seat here. You start where you are and earn the next door.

Under $50K

First system or first six figures. Done improvising.

The program. Twelve core lessons, then a new one every Wednesday, all year. Every session recorded. The community is where you put it to work. This is where the system gets built.

$50K and up

Serious traders, held to a standard.

The floor. A private trading floor. Monday Research, live. Friday Think Tank, where every member's book is read trade by trade. A three-day mastermind every quarter — April in person.

$500K and up

When the floor is no longer enough.

The partnership. One-on-one with me, an hour a week, on what matters most: trading, investing, performance, and life. Everything on the floor comes with the seat.

Who it's not for

Who doesn't belong here.

If you're looking for signals, hype, or a shortcut, this isn't for you. If you want the lifestyle without the discipline, this won't work.

Our philosophy

Freedom is the point. The standard is what makes it last.

With no one above you, that standard is the first thing to slip. The floor is where it doesn't — operators who answer to no one, choosing to hold each other to a standard most never reach.

  • One system, run every week. Built around your goals and your personality, not someone else's.
  • Every rule black and white. Two rules at the moment of decision, and you're in the grey zone.
  • Every error counted in R, on every trade.

When the work is hard, the floor is there. When the work pays off, the same floor.

Most of us have been here for years. Every trade goes in the Log. Every portfolio gets reviewed on Friday.

The path

Every year, in motion.

Started in 2012, early twenties. No plan B. A way out of trading hours for money.

2014

Both incomes replaced. My wife and I quit for good.

Then years on the move. Different countries, same screen. The freedom was the whole point.

2018

Costa Rica. I built the floor.

We settled there that year. Partly because the work was lonely without other operators around.

2026

Ten acres of our own. Built how we wanted.

Vancouver first, a loft downtown, then the full floor. The life kept getting better.

Still trading. Still on the floor. Freer than ever.

The life the work built

I started trading to own my time. This is what owning it looks like.

Nobody handed me a single hour of it.

On my own terms.
How to get started

If that's the life you're building toward, the floor is open.

We'll have a quick chat and see if it's a fit.

Either way, you'll leave knowing where you stand.
