Larry Williams has been trading futures and commodities
for well over 46 years.

Interview of Larry Williams in Malaysia in 2005
|
He is the most highly regarded and
well known short term trader in the world.
No other futures trader
is as accomplished as Larry Williams. He has more trading
and investing books on the market than any other futures trader.
The majority of his books have been best sellers. (see Books for a list of Larry Williams books).
Larry Williams has
taught thousands to correctly trade the markets, won many
trading championships, and has been the only futures trader
in the world to repeatedly trade $1 million of his own money
live at seminars around the globe.

1962 was when Larry Williams began following the markets.
His interest was sparked by the Kennedy market crash, when
President Kennedy forced a roll back in steel prices. The
crash was front page news everywhere. People lost millions
but Larry was more taken by the fact that if you had been
"short" the market, you would have made millions.
Larry began to understand that he could make a $100 day
trading the markets, whether the market was going up or
down. Larry was smitten. To a 20 year old college kid, $100
bought a lot of beer and pizza. Larry Williams graduated
from the University of Oregon in 1964 with a bachelors in
Journalism, thus his passion for writing.
By 1965 Larry was actively trading the markets and began
writing newsletters as well. It wasn't long before Larry
began producing ground breaking market research. In 1966
Larry developed his famous timing tool, Williams %R. This
tool still is published daily in many major financial papers
and is a standard indicator provided on trading web sites
from MSN's Money Central to Yahoo!. In 1970 Larry's first
investment book, The Secret of Selecting Stocks was published.
Larry followed that with the first book ever on the seasonality
of stocks and futures, Sure Thing Commodity Trading, How
Seasonal Factors Influence Commodity Prices.

Larry is pretty old, so to try to follow his career year
by year would consume too much of your precious time. Even
decade by decade gets a little overwhelming. So, let's just
cut to the chase.
In between trading, researching and developing trading
tools, teaching, and writing, Larry managed to run twice
for the U.S. Senate as well as 70 marathons. He holds a
higher degree in archeology and has manned several expeditions.
Larry's long list of best-selling books includes 1982's
How to Prosper in the Coming Good Years which accurately
forecasted the largest bull market and surge in economic
growth in American history. He is a past board member of
the National Futures Association and the recipient of numerous
awards, including Futures Magazine's first Doctor of Futures
Award, the Omega Research Lifetime Achievement Award, Significant
Sig (a Sigma Chi acknowledgement), Traders International 2005 Trader of the Year, and on October 6, 2002
the mayor of San Diego declared that day as Larry Williams'
Day.
Larry is many things, but he is not a CTA (commodity trading
advisor).
