About Mr. Lanci
Experience
For more than 25 years, Vincent Lanci (VBL) has been an active and successful professional derivatives trader in the commodity markets. As a young trader Vincent was fortunate to have some extremely good teachers. Mentors include Martin Shafiroff, Roy Neff, Global Heads of GSCI et al, Market Wizard Larry Benedict, and other legends with whom he still collaborates. They helped him create a knowledge-base and synthesize abilities in a way few can.
Teaching
He serves as an adjunct professor teaching MBA-level Finance at the University of Connecticut (UConn), where he has also contributed published work.
Technology & Market Structure
Mr. Lanci’s career spans the full evolution of modern markets—from floor trading to electronic execution. His experience includes early adoption of mobile trading technology, architecture of options software still in use at ICE, and development of co-located automated market-making systems. His perspective is shaped by direct participation across these transitions.
Current Work
He continues to trade his own capital while advising multi-billion-dollar institutions on trading strategy and risk management across energy, metals, and cryptocurrency markets.
Access
Subscribers gain access to these insights through written posts, private channels, podcasts, and structured, university-style materials.
