Financial Industry Professional with 30+ years experience, mainly as a Trader taking risks, more recently as a Salesperson executing Strategies for Institutional Clients. My first exposure to Trading was as a Floor Trader in a Futures Pit, doing high volume Proprietary Trading, oftentimes flipping long and short positions within minutes. Over the years I made Markets and executed trades for Institutional Clients, both in Futures and Cash Instruments. I traded my own Capital for a few years, making the difficult transition from Floor Trading to Screen based Trading when World Exchanges went fully Electronic . My last foray was in systematic trading, building and executing Trading strategies for Futures, Commodities and Leveraged ETF.
