Thirty years in the markets · twenty-five years of teaching
A historian by training (Paris-Sorbonne), Benoist Rousseau made the markets his field: an active trader since 1994, a teacher since 1998, and an entrepreneur since 2004.
This threefold background earns him a rare standing — a voting member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), on equal footing with the world's largest banks — and feeds his work: three reference books on trading and forewords to classics of finance and political thought.
In 2010 he founded andlil.com, a community awarded the 2024 Grand Prix de l'Excellence; in 2022, the Trading School.
