Former prop trader for Paul Tudor Jones, Larry Alintoff once ran the largest group of traders on the American Stock Exchange (at the time). After transferring to the New York Board of Trade, Larry became the largest trader in the Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice pit, and most recently, he’s CIO of The Toro Fund.
In this episode, we discuss the one thing which has helped Larry to stay consistent, the reason knowing when things that “should” happen, don’t happen can result in great opportunity, and how he’s managed to transfer a similar trading style from the floor to the screens. Finally, the obsession that has carried him this far…
What’s Covered in This Interview:
- What triggered Larry’s interest in trading, his method of using “pressure points” to enter positions, and how he has been able to stay consistent in his trading.
- How Larry grained the chance to trade capital for Paul Tudor Jones and run the largest group of trader on the floor of the AMEX.
- The reason Larry revolves his trading around fundamental catalysts and market behavior; when things that “should” happen, don’t happen. (Including two case studies!)
- The things that have remained unchanged for the past 30 years, and how Larry’s passion for trading is primarily responsible for carrying him this far.
