Lee Gettess is a veteran futures trader with expertise in T-bond futures
and e-mini trading signals
for the S&P and NASDAQ.
He has spent over twenty years developing proprietary trading systems for private traders, two large public funds, and one of the ten largest banks in North America. Lee has been recognized as a trading expert by Forbes, CNBC, Optionetics and many financial organizations.

Growing up in inner-city Detroit, Lee started his futures trading career at the bottom. He mopped floors at General Motors. Lee believed that more people achieve wealth in a shorter period of time trading than in any other business in the world, so he spent every spare minute he had studying the markets. By 1987 Lee’s trading profits provided a sufficient stake for him to quit his job and trade for a living.
