Tony Battista began his 22-year career in options and futures trading in 1983, as an independent market-maker at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), as well as a local independent trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), where he traded the 30-year bond futures.

While primarily an independent trader in the S&P 100 Index (OEX, XEO) pit, he also spent three years in the AOL equity pit. In 1987, he solidified his position at the CBOE by purchasing his first seat at the exchange. He served on the CBOE arbitration committee for over 10 years, ruling on disputes between traders and trading firms, prior to joining thinkorswim.
