Meet the Queen of Macro Kathy Lien, a financial prodigy who graduated from New York University’s Stern School of Business at just 18 years old. With more than 20 years of trading experience, Kathy has become one of the most respected experts in global macro and currencies.

Kathy’s career began at JPMorgan Chase, where she worked on the interbank FX trading desk before making the leap to the cross-markets proprietary trading group. There, she traded everything from FX spot and options to interest rate derivatives, bonds, equities, and futures.

In 2003, Kathy took the world by storm by launching DailyFX.com, the premier online hub for foreign exchange research. As Chief Strategist, she built and led a team of sharp analysts dedicated to making the forex market understandable to traders of all levels. In 2008, she became the Director of Currency Research at Global Futures & Forex Ltd. By 2011, she launched BKForex and BK Asset Management with her longtime trading partner Boris Schlossberg.

Kathy’s expertise has also made her a sought-after voice across the financial media landscape. She appears regularly on CNBC, and her insights have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, AFP, Bloomberg, and more. She was also featured on Charles Schwab’s Mind of a Trader, sharing her deep insights into macro strategy and trader psychology.

Traders love her books, including “Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market,” “The Little Book of Currency Trading,” “Millionaire Traders: How Everyday People Beat Wall Street at Its Own Game,” and her newest release: “Prop Trading Secrets: How Successful Traders are Living Off the Markets”

Known for her unique blend of fundamental market analysis and chart-reading precision, Kathy has developed a powerful suite of analytical techniques that form the backbone of BK’s trading strategies today.
