Anthony Crudele is a US futures trader who spent 23 years as a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, starting as a runner in 1995 and becoming one of the youngest traders on the CME floor, where he worked as a pit trader and market maker in S&P 500 futures before becoming one of the first screen traders of the E-mini S&P 500 in 1999. In 2014 he founded the Futures Radio Show, billed as the first podcast dedicated to futures trading, and later launched the education platform AnthonyCrudele.com along with shows such as Develop Your Edge and 10-Minute Technicals. His teaching centers on market microstructure and order-flow reading for retail traders: interpreting the order book, tape, and depth of market, reading market regime, and combining execution discipline with tools like anchored VWAP and his own Beacon mean-reversion indicator. He has appeared on trading-education platforms including MoneyShow, Trader Summit, and the CMT Association's speaker roster, and has publicly discussed surviving a heart attack at his trading desk at age 36 as part of his story of shifting from pure floor scalping to a more risk-managed, order-flow-driven approach; specific performance or return claims associated with him are his own self-reported account rather than independently audited.
