Has anybody met (or traded with) any of the Market Wizards?

Hi Pabst,

Thanks a lot for sharing the stories. Very interesting. Do you see pits becoming obsolete?

I am sure they will be around for a while, but do they look to you as a thing of a past?

I am planning to go to LBR seminar. Very curious to meet a market Wizards.

FXCM is throwing expo in New York, in early June, and Jack Schwager is one of the speakers.

Regards,
redduke
 
Quote from Pabst:

Steidlmeyer (the developer along with the CBOT of Market Profile) never traded in the bond pit. He was in the grains. Gelber talks about his pit trading in Wizards (2?) but he was MUCH more of a desk jockey with a primo lineup of commission heavy institutional biz. Kenyon was of the 90's generation and traded HUGE. Very much a one tick processor.

There were a few guys who traded Baldwin type size. Dick Pfiel.(sp) Dick was a superb trader who traded around levels and he'd single handedly keep a lid on things if he thought sellers would later respond to higher prices. The Moore brothers were also huge. John Moore was Baldwins college roommate and made about 13 mill one year and then retired. Rob Moore is partners with Jim Heinz in Marquette Partners. Heinz and R. Moore were both 2 mill a year type guys who've made tens of millions with Marquette.

==================

Would consider that Curtis Faith ''inflector '' nickname top trader/turtle;
even though it must keep him humble Jack Schwager never called him by name. He does post here , more so on his turtletradingsoftware.com. Excellant trading fragments.

Feel like William O Neil & LBR do read elitetrader.com;
however feelings can be wrong;
but there is a harmony /both with elitetrader.com that would be hard to explain other wise???? Could be simply great minds think alike.

Dont know him personaly, or even if he is a'' toptrader''
got a recent book ad I saved from FH''Chick ''Goslin;
''Ignore the future in trading futures,focus on past & present''

And ''the self righteous die young in trading'' Chick says.
