ABOUT VICTOR SPERANDEO
A professional trader with over 40 years experience in the stock, bond, futures, commodities, and currency markets, Mr. Sperandeo has successfully invested through approximately seven bull and seven bear market cycles. He has traded independently for, among others, George Soros, Leon Cooperman and BT Alex Brown.
He has received two patents in the U.S., two in the Bahamas, and one in Australia on financial products using long/short algorithmic indicators or indices in conjunction with leverage, which add alpha while simultaneously reducing risk.
Mr. Sperandeo is recognized for his futures market trading expertise and has for some time implemented a number of successful strategies that are designed to profit from futures price trends. He created the Diversified Trends Indicator™, which is an evolution of these strategies. It is a rules-based, investable trading methodology incorporating a diversified group of highly liquid, exchange-traded commodity and financial futures contracts, reflecting market expectations of near-term and future price movements.
He has been featured twice in Barron’s — “Man of all Markets”, on May 2, 1983, and “Trader Vic the Ultimate Wall Street Pro”, on September 21, 1987 — and been quoted in The Wall Street Journal and Stocks & Commodities. Additionally, he has appeared frequently on CNBC, CNN, Fox and other networks.
