My guest this week is Anthony Crudele, a guy who started out at a very young age on the CME floor and has a really awesome story about his journey as a trader.
There are some pretty intense failures, significant amounts of money lost, but also a ton of perseverance. Eventually, he broke through these struggles and went on to make six and seven figures for years, while heavily trading the E-mini from inception.
In this chat, we discuss Anthony’s multiple blowouts, the turning point in his trading career, his strategy to trading futures today, and the significance of protecting your downside.
What’s Covered in This Interview:
- How Anthony became one of the youngest exchange members at the age of 21 years and the various roles he had on the CME floor prior to his membership.

- The indicator that Anthony developed to assist him in his own trading and why other traders should think about doing the same.
