Anthony Crudele as Senior Vice President of NinjaTrader Live. With this move,
the company, which serves over 1.8 million users, aims to expand its existing
educational offerings.

NinjaTrader Taps Industry Veteran Anthony Crudele
Crudele, a
29-year industry veteran and former CME floor trader, will spearhead the
company’s flagship livestream program, which provides real-time trading
insights and platform guidance to traders of all experience levels.
“The
futures market is thriving, making now an ideal time to join a team
passionately dedicated to empowering traders eager to delve into this dynamic
asset class,” said Anthony Crudele, Senior Vice President of NinjaTrader Live.
With this
move NinjaTrader wants to strengthen its position in the retail futures trading
space. The company’s CEO Martin Franchi emphasized the alignment between
Crudele’s expertise and NinjaTrader’s mission to democratize futures trading
education.
“His
expertise will strengthen NinjaTrader’s educational offerings while equipping
traders with the trading knowledge not easily accessible elsewhere,” said
Martin Franchi, CEO at NinjaTrader. “As the futures space continues to grow, we
are focused on prioritizing user experience and reinforcing our position as a
leader in the retail investing landscape through interactive content with some
of the best in the business.”
Crudele
brings substantial digital content experience, having pioneered the futures
trading podcast space with his Futures Radio Show in 2014. His content will be
available across NinjaTrader’s digital platforms, including its account
dashboard, website, and YouTube channel.
Wave of Executive Hires
In addition
to Crudele, NinjaTrader recently appointed Tobin McDaniel as its new President,
marking a continuation of the executive hiring wave that began several months
ago. McDaniel, bringing 15 years of experience in retail trading and investing,
most recently led SoFi Invest and held senior roles at Charles Schwab, where he
spent over a decade advancing services for self-directed investors.
Earlier
this year, the company welcomed four additional executives to support its
growth objectives. Ryan Pitylak, Executive Vice President of Growth, focuses on
enhancing trader education and partnerships, building on his experience with
ZenBusiness. Aditya Nishandar joined as Chief Technology Officer, leveraging
experience from Goldman Sachs and Carta Liquidity to drive technology
advancements.
John
O’Neil, General Manager of Evaluation Services, is set to improve offerings for
retail proprietary traders, drawing on his background at FXCM. Michael Krafft,
the new Vice President of Product, is tasked with developing user-centric
applications, backed by his work at TrueML, Alight Solutions, and American
Express.
Meanwhile,
NinjaTrader’s affiliate, NinjaTrader Clearing , LLC (NTC), recently received a
$983,425 fine from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for failing
to supervise employee handling of accounts associated with a fraudulent scheme.
