from willmott, i believe:
1983- Richard Dennis gives his famous seminars to floor brokers and traders alike. He advises them to look at the board a half hour after the open, and buy or sell whatever is furthest from the previous day's close.
1986- Monroe Trout resigns as an employee of Victor Niederhoffer, and sets out to apply the pattern and momentum lessons he has learned on the NYFE, to his own position trading.
1988- Mark Fisher starts his clearing firm on the NYMEX.
1989- Toby Crabel writes his book, "Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns & Opening Range Breakout."
1993- Toby Crabel quits working for Victor Niederhoffer - like Monroe Trout and Roy Niederhoffer before him - and sets out to trade on his own.
2002- Toby Crabel, with nearly 300 different systems in production, finishes 10 years without a single losing year, with an 11% average annual return, with a maximum drawdown of 4.24% over the period, and with well over a billion dollars under management charging a 3% management fee.
