Quote from mm19:

another one that didn't use stops.

or he got thrown out of insider league.

life not easy

Soros required nearly 20 years to develop his edge. Last busted account was just before started quantum fund.
 
Quote from CET:

He used potassium sayonara. :eek:

The fact that he was an ex-trader is not relevant to what he did. This thread is not news and belongs in Chit Chat.

from reading his book, he started exposure to markets around 23, and I know he started fund when 40 with little of his money.

Someone on ET forum mentioned that he busted his account just prior starting fund. so presume at 39 or so...

robust, lasting edges takes time to develop. Going thru enough cycles to be confident what to look for and what to ignore, enough to stand in position.
