Mr. Najarian played for the Chicago Bears before becoming a trader and, eventually, a board member of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He sold Mercury Trading, his prop trading and specialist firm to Citadel in 2004. Mr. Najarian and his brother, Pete, then built Trademonster into a financial giant, selling that firm to E*Trade for $750M in 2016. They've since built Market Rebellion into an educational and subscription business that has educated over 300,000 investors since 2017.

He developed and patented trading applications and algorithms used to identify unusual activity in stock, options, and futures markets.
