Publisher's summary

The market wizards are back!

Unknown Market Wizards continues in the three-decade tradition of the hugely popular Market Wizards series, interviewing exceptionally successful traders to learn how they achieved their extraordinary performance results.

The twist in Unknown Market Wizards is that the featured traders are individuals trading their own accounts. They are unknown to the investment world. Despite their anonymity, these traders have achieved performance records that rival, if not surpass, the best professional managers.

Some of the stories include:

  • A trader who turned an initial account of $2,500 into $50 million.
  • A trader who achieved an average annual return of 337 percent over a 13-year period.
  • A trader who made tens of millions using a unique approach that employed neither fundamental nor technical analysis.
  • A former advertising executive who used classical chart analysis to achieve a 58 percent average annual return over a 27-year trading span.
  • A promising junior tennis player in the UK who abandoned his quest for a professional sporting career for trading and generated a nine-year track record with an average annual return just under 300 percent.

World-renowned author and trading expert Jack D. Schwager is our guide. His trademark knowledgeable and sensitive interview style encourages the wizards to reveal the fascinating details of their training, experience, tactics, strategies, and their best and worst trades. There are dashes of humor and revelations about the human side of trading throughout.

The result is a engrossing new collection of trading wisdom, brimming with insights that can help all traders improve their outcomes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Best book to date

Absolutely brilliant book which explores side of traders most people have not heard of.
Highly recommended for any independent traders out there or anyone who is remotely interesting in trading. It explores journeys of hard working traders with various background and different paths.

Excellent listen

Full of useful stories and principals, both expected and unorthodox. At the very least it should act as a reminder of your foundation and why you trade

The usual market wizards fare

if you are a retail trader or aspiring to be one and have enjoyed the books in the market wizard series by this author- you will likely not be disappointed with this book.

Traders interviewed are based out of US and Europe. All are males.

I finished listening to the audio version during my daily walks. I plan to selectively read the Kindle version.

In the past I have read/listened repeatedly to the authors books- will do so the same with this one.

Inspiring as Usual

Mr. Shwager gave a great gift to whoever works in this industry through these experiences.
It represents a fine tuning tool if you ever believe you have what it takes to be a successful trader.
