I have such respect for Larry that it's hard to put into words. I met him at a seminar sponsored by Tradestation a long time ago. During a break I remained attentive, and happened to hear him step to the side to call his broker to buy a large batch of S&P contracts. Later in the day he sold them and made what I considered to be an absolute fortune that day, and yet he made no announcements about taking that trade and it was not part of the class. This is just what he does: a superb job of quietly plying the edge he has over markets as a result of his own original brilliant analysis. Soft-spoken and modest, to me Larry is the most brilliant trader I have ever encountered, and I have met quite a few rather famous traders and authors in my day. Anyone who has had the opportunity to learn from Larry Williams or to meet him personally is very lucky, indeed.
Larry is so humble and generous. Always learned a lot from him. Thanks for the interview!
I could listen to Larry talk all day. I've been trading full time for 3 decades, and Larry was a great inspiration to me.
It's awesome to see Larry still at it. My late father, who was a commodity futures trader back then as well and wrote a series of Almanacs twice a year, used to talk about Larry and a few others with great regard. He's a true legend.
I just died laughing when Larry said because he is an old man he only risks 40% of his account per trade LOL
Larry Williams is such a fantastic guy! I went to one of his seminars outside of Chicago 20 years ago. He has the same enthusiasm for the markets now that he did then.
I became a profitable trader using Larryโs strategy based on the COT report. Thank you Larry for all your work.
Thank-you Larry for verbal gold . Richard you are the best.I said it when you started your youtube channel and ill repeat it now again . Nobody can do what you do , allowing the guest to run the show under your stealth guidance . Brilliant interview.

Can you imagine how cool it would be to have him as your grandpa? I'd visit every day to learn about the markets while drinking tea lol! Thanks for the great video.
I never get tired of listening and learning from Larry. Such a fantastic guy! It's a pitty I never had a chance to be his student and now he's retired! Amazing interview!
Mr Larry williams is my favorite investor/trader because he tells you specifically how to make money. Not just vague quotes and words
What a terrific interview with the legendary Larry Williams! Thanks to the awesome advice. And Richard did a great job in hosting the show.
Larry!! One of the best traders of all time... you have an open mind for trading strategies... and always amazes me with his experience and wisdom!!!!
Very lucky to have this interview. Thanks a lot. Larry is the best.
I met Larry back in 1994. Still have his book "Batting 800" from way back when. What a wonderful mentor.
Larry had the highest return ever in the US Trading Championship
Another great interview. Larry is an incredible person and his life is even more interesting than his trading career. I used to like running into him at the local bagel shop 30 years ago.
Love the way this living legend talks the walks, walks the talks all his life.
