Who is the Greatest Trader of all time?

"That didn't say anything about performance. Do I have to google him myself? I am on vacation!"

Not sure Harvard ever separated out his performance. My old boss called on him and I watched his presentations at CBOE Risk Management conferences. Generally triple-digit and consistent year on year. The Globe estimates his net worth at about 3/4 of a billion and, as I understand it, that was salary and bonus - no profit sharing.
Part of his legend was Harvard had to let him go because they had compensation caps.

Not sure how old this is https://affluenceiq.com/50richest.php

If you want to talk offline I'll walk you through his strategies. Can't do it here with our compliance regs.

I'll throw Kullamagi's name into the discussion. I cant think of anyone who capitalized more or better on the market's bull run from 2009 thru 2021. Using mostly a breakout swing trading system he grew his trading account(s) from 10k to 100mm in that timespan. And did it all from his mom's basement! I personally think he quadrupled his bankroll during the covid bouncback and meme stock craze of 2020 and 2021.

Can't say Buffett, he's really a long Investor, buy n holder almost.

People like Paul Tudor Jones and George Soros are famous for one trade I guess, but run large Funds

Dalio, Minervini, O'Neil, Livermore, Dennis?

Who?

I would say Soros. I find he is very astute and dead-on on his analysis on what's happening and what's going to happen and he speculates precisely at the right moment. Dalio is a joke. The guy lost huge and went bankrupt and the way that he excused the heartless autocratic regime of CCP as being just a "strict parent" is just ridiculous. Livermore is good at trading but his risk management and information analysis leave much to be desired.

97.49% win rate. $370K so far. That's very good. I'd like @Overnight to validate his legitimacy please.

This is BS. No idea what I am looking at here.

What the hell is going on with the timestamps in the orange boxes?

Isn't that the guy from 110 years ago, before the central bank existed? That guy would have been CRUSHED in today's market. The hell you think he is God's gift to trading?!?

Have you made any money following his advice?
 
Livermore actually wrote a book that was very helpful for me. He wrote it in the 40s and the concepts still work. And yes I made money followng his advice, but I lost it later being careless and not obeying the trend of the market. Kept trying to buy the dip after the party was over. :(
