Linda Raschke

Linda Raschke began her professional trading career in 1981 making markets in options as a member of two exchanges. She became a registered CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) in 1992. Since then, she has been the principle trader for several funds and started her own hedge fund in 2002 for which she was the CPO (Commodity Pool Operator). Linda’s hedge fund was ranked 17th out of 4500 for best 5-year performance by Barclays Hedge and her early successes were recognized by Jack Schwager in his renowned Market Wizards series. Linda retired as a CPO and CTA in 2015. However, she continues to trade daily for her own account - the same program that she has traded since 1992.

​In the world of professional trading and money management, Linda Raschke stands out from the crowd for three factors (all of which should be priorities for any serious trader): Performance, Longevity and Consistency.

Today the company is known globally as CMC Markets, and has grown to include 15 offices worldwide and over 60,000 clients.
