Ted’s Motto is: “Timing is everything in futures trading as it is in life.  A successful trader needs to know how to change their trading style to adapt to the current conditions of the market.”
Â
Ted Seifried went to the University of Western Illinois where he double majored in Economics and Sociology. Â During summers and winter breaks he got his introduction to the futures business by working on the CME as a runner.
Â
Once out of college he took on a full time job as a phone clerk/out-trade clerk for R.J. O’Brien and associates.  While on the floor he formed a bond with an In house Institutional broker who took him under her wing and showed him the ropes of the institutional hedge business.  He worked for 5 years with RJO as an institutional broker with most of his business in the commercial agricultural business, and while he was there he developed a strong hedging background.
Â
After RJO Ted moved on to Lind-Waldock to peruse his interest in the retail speculative side of the markets. Â Here he worked with the industry best to hone his spec trading and day trading skills. Â Ted brought all of these acquired skills over to Zaner in 2009.
