Antonio Lengua, a seasoned trader with decades of experience.
From institutional trading at Deutsche Bank to becoming a pioneer in volume analysis on
futures markets and applying mindfulness in trading, Antonio has navigated the
complexities of finance with remarkable success. Author of three books and a frequent
collaborator with Webank and Class CNBC, he now offers you a glimpse into his world.
Antonio Gerli, 30+ years of experience as a base metals trader; I covered every
role: from back-office to front-office, from stock management to documents validation, from daily
trading to annual contracts, from strategic development to CEO.
A 10 years involvement in photovoltaic fields development and management, an all-encompassing
approach to energy transition and a nerdish love for technology top my curriculum.
“I bring to the Akademy all of the above and a little zest, because passing on what we have learned
the hard way is the best and most rewarding accomplishment of a lifetime career”
