About International Trading Institute, LLC (ITI)
:
The new International Trading Institute, LLC (ITI) is a rebirth of the legendary International Trading Institute Ltd., founded in 1989 by Anthony J. "Tony" Saliba, an expert, pioneer and active participant in the derivatives markets for nearly 30 years.
Tony and the highly trained instructors at International Trading Institute Ltd., provided in-depth training on options trading strategies for two decades to over 5,000 market professionals in prestigious investment banks, trading firms, and exchanges around the globe in 30 countries throughout Europe, Asia, South and Central America.
Today, ITI is dedicated to continuing the tradition of delivering the finest and most comprehensive derivatives education in the world. The new ITI brings back some of the key instructors to deliver a new, extensive curriculum covering all levels of derivatives trading, pricing, and risk management with a strong emphasis towards a hands-on, practical approach.
ITI offers several workshops with updated curricula to successfully train traders, sales traders, and developers/quants in the art of trading options. Most frequently, our workshops are conducted in Chicago, Illinois USA. We generally find that our regular clients prefer to send their employees to Chicago in smaller groups so as not to disrupt the course of normal, daily business, given the recent tumult in the markets. However, on-site training is also available on a selective basis, depending upon whether a prospective client has a sufficient number of students to make the process work.
