Unknown Market Wizards - by Jack D Schwager (Paperback)

About the Book

Part of the popular Market Wizards series - expert guidance from individual traders.

Book Synopsis

Revised edition with exclusive interviews and new material in every chapter covering the unprecendented pandemic bear market, an abrupt reversal to new highs, and rising inflation.

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 here is that the featured traders are individuals trading their own accounts - unknown to the investment world, yet achieving performance records that rival, if not surpass, the best professional managers.

Some of the stories include:

- A trader who turned $2,500 into $50 million.
- A trader who achieved an average annual return of 337% over 13 years.
- 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 58% average annual returns over 27 years.
- A UK junior tennis player who abandoned sport for trading, generating nearly 300% average annual returns over nine years.

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.

With dashes of humour and revelations about the human side of trading throughout, this is an engrossing collection of wisdom, brimming with insights that can help all traders improve their outcomes.
