Idiot Savants

I only know of 5 discretionary traders that are *VERY* successfull. I wonder if they are the same PTJ knows...

The question here is that they make money consistently, just doing tape reading...
 
Quote from nslaughter:

I haven't known any savant traders, but most traders I have known are obsessive about knowing/memorizing something. It isn't always directly related to trading, but there could be parrallels in the skills.

Have you guys ever heard of Mr. Skin? He's this guy who was a trader on the CBOT. He had an uncanny ability to recall every racy scene any actress ever did. During the down times other traders would quiz him all day on what actresses appeared in what state of undress in what movies. He had them all memorized. Pretty weird. Now the guy has quit trading and has been running a lucrative pay website with all these clips categorized. No I'm not a customer. The local radio station calls him up all the time to quiz him. The guy is an absolute crack up and is always dead on. Too bad he didn't apply his incredible abilities to trading.
