Your Favorite Market Wizard

H

HiddenAgenda

I'm a huge fan of Jack Schwager's Market Wizards books. Most successful traders have learned a great deal from these books.

Who is your favorite market wizard, why?

He may have derailed Obama if he weren't a wife beater.

Baldwin and Dennis. They both started out undercapitalized, inexperienced and overconfident. Everybody does, don't they! For me, I felt their "paths" were the easiest to replicate. How wrong I was. :cool:
 
Dennis is one of the best, isn't he. A true legend!!

I know a lot of people have found Michael Covel's work on the turtle method very inspiring. I'm planning to get Covel's book to get a deeper understanding of how the turtle movement was born.
 
Quote from TraDaToR:

Perhaps Blair Hull :

- began as a black jack card counter in Vegas.

- Pioneer in algorythmic trading with Hull Trading Corp

- Sold Hull Trading Corp to Goldman for big dough, started a new fund and a political career.

he used to post on elite under the name pabst. Has some odd political ideas to say the least
 
Larry Hite is a great one as well.

He stresses how important it is to manage risk vs. knowing what market.

He gives an example of a Coffee trader who knew everything about Coffee and ended up losing over a 100mil.

Larry on the other hand just looked at it as risk per trade.

No doubt, the coffee trader lost sleep over that one.
