Borish worked at the Federal ReserveBank of New York from 1982–85, monitoring foreign exchanges and futures and options. He was then founding partner and second-in-command at Tudor Investment Corporation, which he joined in 1985 and left in December 1994. Paul Tudor Jones, the trader and founder of Tudor Investment Corporation for whom Borish was the right-hand man, says he anticipated the crash in 1987 because Borish had mapped the market against the market preceding the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and noted the similarity between the two markets, and was able to profit when the market crashed. Subsequently, from October 2004 and until 2006, Borish was Chairman of OneChicago, LLC, an all-electronic exchange, and CEO of Twinfields Capital Management, a global macro hedge fund focused on fixed income. He is also former Chairman of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles. Borish is the founder, Chairman, and CEO of Computer Trading Corporation, a macro-economic global hedge fund in New York that focuses on macroeconomic investing and multi-strategy management of assets in the derivative markets, and an investor/advisor to the board of directors of Quadriserv, a technology-driven securities lending platform that focuses on price transparency and process efficiency. In 2012, he was CEO of the hedge fund Touradji Capital Management. Borish is a co-author of Introduction to Drift Theory, along with Paul D. Knudsvig and Edward L. Rombach. He appeared in the PBS documentary Trader. Borish has, since 1991, served as Trustee of the Institute for Financial Markets, a not-for-profit, educational institute that seeks to foster the development of standards and best practices initiatives in the financial services industry. He was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Institute from March 1992 to March 1998, and again from March 2004 to March 2014. He is also a former board member of the Futures Industry Association.
