Twenty years later, Lewis J. Borsellino still calls the trading arena his home. One of the “biggest and best” traders, according to CNBC, Lewis is internationally recognized as an expert in trading and a leading player in Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P) stock index futures.

An independent trader, Lewis is committed to providing real-time, insightful commentary for S&P and Nasdaq futures. Through his products, Lewis shares market intelligence and technical analysis, “for traders, by traders.” This concise, razor-sharp market commentary is based on the same proprietary analysis that Lewis and his trading staff use every day.

Lewis has traded S&P futures since the early days of the S&P futures contract in 1983. Today, he trades both on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) – where at one time he accounted for 10 percent of the average daily trading volume in S&P contract – and at the screen in his Chicago-based trading firm.

A frequent commentator for the financial news media, Lewis is regularly featured by CNN-FN and Bloomberg TV, and also has made appearances on CNBC, WebFN, and Reuters. He has been profiled by the Chicago Tribune, Investors Business Daily, USA Today, and other publications.

Lewis is the author of The Day Trader’s Course and The Day Trader’s Course Workbook, and also has written a memoir of his trading career entitled, The Day Trader: From the Pit to the PC. His books have been translated into several foreign languages including Russian and Hungarian.

A guest speaker at several industry conferences, Lewis has lectured in the United States and abroad, including in Russia. He was featured in a Japanese public television special along with such market luminaries as George Soros.

Prior to becoming an independent trader, Lewis was a major partner in International Futures & Options Associates (IFOA), the largest floor broker association at the CME. Between 1986 and 1990, as one of the leading floor brokers for IFOA, he filled orders for major financial institutions and retail firms such as Bache, Drexel Burnham, Merrill Lynch, Prudential, Salomon Brothers, Smith Barney and PaineWebber.

Over the course of his 20-year career, Lewis has traded the largest and most active markets, including S&P futures and Euro dollars. He was on the front lines of the futures market during the Crash of 1987, the Gulf War, the 1998 Asian financial crisis, and the Russian debt debacle. An active member of the CME, he has served on several Exchange committees, including Floor Practices, S&P Study, and the CFPF. A CME member since 1981, Lewis began his trading career with Maury A. Kravitz, an internationally recognized gold trader, working as an arbitrage clerk.

Lewis lives in Oak Brook, Illinois, with his wife, Julie, and their seven children.
