Howard Finley is a veteran trader hailing from Chicago. He started as a bond trader and gradually developed a strong affinity for equity and derivative markets. A finance geek by day and a jazz aficionada by night, Howard sees trading as an improvisational art guided by mathematical patterns much akin to his favorite bebop compositions. He entered the world of online spaces by chance and found networks to swap stories, give suggestions, and feed his insatiable inquiries about market norms around the world.
