Bob Iaccino has spent the last 18 years trading and teaching in the futures and Forex markets. He is in high demand by various media outlets for his unparalleled understanding of market confidence, tone and trader outlook.
He has appeared on CNBC, CNBC Asia, Bloomberg Television and Radio, CNN, CNN International, CNN Moneyline, Fox Business News, First Business (Canada), Phoenix TV (China), to name a few. To date, Bob has given over 500 interviews on the markets and still maintains 1-2 guests analyst spots per week.
Bob got his start in 1993 by joining Nikko Securities (Japan’s second largest brokerage house at the time) as a phone clerk. Showing great aptitude for the industry, Bob was promoted to assistant market strategist by early 1994 and Chief Market Strategist by 1996, with his analysis being sent to hundreds of trader’s in the US, Europe and Asia.
Bob’s analysis became well known throughout the firm and with the firm’s clients in particular. Bob left Nikko in 1997 to serve as Chief Market Strategist for Commerzbank Futures, the brokerage arm of Germany’s 4th largest bank at that time. Bob was again distributing his research and insight to the bank’s traders and clients as well as trading the markets.
Bob left Commerzbank in 2003 to become Chief Market Strategist for a proprietary trading firm based in Chicago, which gave him the opportunity to run his own commodity pool. This local firm had over 100 traders that relied on Bob’s analysis to help them in their daily trading. During this time, he also gave internal seminars on trading psychology and trader sentiment.
He followed that appointment with serving as a Principal and member of the investment committee for a futures and Forex based fund of funds, where his responsibilities included trader-style analysis and manager selection. He was one half of a 2 person committee charged with discovering “start-up” managers.
In 2008, Bob launched www.traderoutlook.com to offer his expert advice and technical analysis insight to traders of all market types, with a focus on Forex. Through use of webinar sessions, video presentations and a real-time live chat room, he teaches his members how to apply professional technique and discipline to strengthen their trading technique.
