My guest today is John Lin, the founder and CEO of Grasshopper, a high frequency trading firm providing liquidity in global markets. Grasshopper was founded in 2006 and is heavily driven by technology and innovation. After graduating with an Engineering degree from Cornell University, John worked his way up from a clerk position in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Since then, he\u2019s lived and traded internationally in London and Tokyo, and currently lives in Singapore.\xa0John is one of the last traders fortunate enough to have floor experience on the CME. He got a job as a runner on the CME floor in the early 1990\u2019s and from there he learned invaluable lessons on trading, discipline and respecting the market.
