They are just quotes aggregated from interviews those traders have given, or from books they wrote.

Looks like most are pulled from forex-investors.com - We all have our quirks, nbd.

I don't know about others but I want to be the most profitable and greatest trader in my family.

Simons is really the problem with this question. It has no meaning. Jim Simons said himself he sucks at programming computers and sucked at discretionary trading himself.

All the greats in modern times are great because of the teams they built.

Ken Griffin is worth 30 billion at 54 though. Simons is worth slightly less but is 84.

Buffet is a businessman IMO so I don't think he counts.

Net worth is ultimately the measuring stick and I can't imagine Ken Griffin not coming out on top when he still has decades for Citadel to compound.

Tudor Jones isn't even close to Ken at this point IMO.

Ken is such a baller too. Most expensive house in the US at one point. Owns the second most expensive painting ever sold right now.

ken griffin is more businessman than Warren buffet.

Warren is more private equity investor than trader.

Soros is a proper trader

For reason I do not want to publish source, but I posted nearly all trading tips from great traders, so feel free to look at those posts.

Excellent tips, they should have their separate thread though. Easier to find for others looking for wisdom.
