Serge Hoffmann

Serge Hoffmann

Veteran Trader | Order Flow & Liquidity Expert

Inside World Class Edge, Serge reveals high-performance futures trading tactics honed on professional trading floors in New York and Europe.

Lars Schmeldtenkopf

Lars Schmeldtenkopf

Matteo Conti

Matteo Conti

7 Years of Experience as a Market Maker

Matteo spent seven years as a market maker for one of the largest banks in the Nordics, providing liquidity to millions of clients before founding my own hedge fund. Today, every strategy he trades is fully systematic and automated. In his course on World Class Edge, he will teach you how professionals think about markets, why research matters more than prediction, and how institutions build trading systems designed for consistency instead of emotion.

Patrick Nill

Patrick Nill

Championship Consistency

Patrick Nill is living proof that the World Class Edge approach works. He came up under Tom Vorwald and the Trader DNA method, and turned it into a place on the world stage.

Two-time World Champion with twelve Top 3 finishes worldwide, Patrick's edge isn't one lucky run. It's consistency at the highest level, season after season. Where most traders chase a single big result, he built the discipline to perform under pressure again and again, on the biggest stages in competitive trading.

Inside World Class Edge, Patrick teaches how to trade with that same consistency: a repeatable process, discipline when it actually counts, and a strategy that keeps performing long after beginner's luck runs out.

Fredy Sarmiento

Fredy Sarmiento

Institutional FX Market Maker & Algo Architect

For over 12 years, Fredy was the one on the other side of your trade. As an institutional derivatives trader at Rabobank in London, he managed hedging flows worth billions of dollars, covering risk for central banks and sovereign wealth funds.

Trained at Oxford in algorithmic trading, Henley in investment banking, and Griffith in finance, Fredy tested over 8,000 indicator combinations across two years of data. Not one had a positive expectancy. That's when he stopped looking at charts and started looking at what actually forces price to move: gamma exposure, delta hedging, and institutional order flow.

Inside World Class Edge, Fredy teaches what he did behind the desk for a decade. How market makers hedge in real time, why 0DTE options have reshaped markets since 2022, and how to read the levels where institutions are forced to act.

Imre Gams

Imre Gams

8-Figure Portfolio Manager & Market Psychologist

Imre quit Apple, liquidated his stock options, and blew up more trading accounts than he'd like to admit. Then he begged his way into a real-money prop firm just to sit next to professionals and learn.

That bet paid off. Legendary trader Andy Krieger, the man who shorted the New Zealand dollar in size exceeding the country's entire money supply, personally recruited Imre to trade alongside him. They've been partners ever since.

Over 11+ years trading futures, options, and global macro, Imre built his edge around two things: reading the market as a multiplayer auction where big players are forced to act, and understanding why your own psychology sabotages your best trades.

Inside World Class Edge, Imre teaches market regime, order flow, and the mental game that separates consistent traders from everyone else.
