In the fall of 2000 after working his way up through the ranks from runner to becoming a CME member and trader, Ben realized traders trading computer e-products from locations off the floor were rapidly increasing in numbers and they were at a severe disadvantage due to the delay and one dimensional limitations of digital quote screens. The goal of Tradersaudio is to bridge the information gap by providing their clients with the information direct without delay from the trading floor, information that once was privy to floor traders only. The concept is simple, Ben has made it possible to see and hear things that are happening on the trading floor without actually having to be on the trading floor.
