Format:Paperback
A book containing fascinating insights into the thought processes, psychology, early failures, successes and experiences of 17 or so succesful traders in several markets; futures, currencies, shares, pit trading, etc. Almost entirely American, covers mainly the 1970's and 1980's situation.
All wrapped up within the framework of interviews by the author, who gives us the impression of bringing a high degree of knowledge as he guides the interviewees into revealing their experiences and principles of operating.
A refreshing antidote to the ten-a-penny instant opinions so readily put out by teenage scribblers everywhere.
This book should certainly be of interest to aspiring traders, probably also to investors who wish to understand more about who they're sharing the market with, and I think to anyone with more than a passing interest in financial markets and psychology - all written in an accessible style.
I enjoyed it hugely.

Format:Hardcover
Back in 1997, a friend and colleague introduced me to the markets for the very first times, futures markets at that. He told me that to become a successful trader, I needed to read far and wide. I was given, as an introduction, two suggestions, "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" and anything by Jack D Schwager. I got hold of the first one ok (an awesome book, read in one day on a cold wet day at Phillip Island) but the other never made the priority. Until now, nearly ten years later. I grabbed Schwager's three volumes on the "market wizards" in one fell swoop and after reading this volume can't believe I never purchased it earlier. Whilst the trading scenarios are now dated the insights into trading are very relevant and I gleaned many insights into trading that had previously eluded me. Schwager's interview style and writing ability is first rate (for an American), and I enjoy his laid back, humourous approach. This is a valuable volume and a must for all serious traders.

This book is absolutely essential reading for traders just beginning and those experienced traders who "just can't get over the hump". Schwager asks the top traders all the questions that any other trader would want to ask, and pushes the pros to reveal their money and risk management tips and "rules", philosophies, discipline, psychological traits, and general characteristics of successful traders. In addition, there are plenty of good stories the successful traders relate to Schwager, which makes the reading more interesting. Most importantly, the reader will learn the mistakes that most traders make during their careers, and thus why most people never become successful traders. These characteristics of losing traders are compared to those characteristics of the successful traders, and the reader will learn what it takes to make it in the markets, straight from the pros.
