Unknown Market Wizards - Jack Schwager - The Worlds Greatest Unknown Traders

Market Wizards - Jack Schwager on the worlds greatest unknown traders.
An interview with Jack Schwager, the author of The Market Wizards series of books, on his new book, Unknown Market Wizards. Jack has been involved in financial markets for over 45 years, he worked as a market analyst, a trader, managed institutional portfolios of managed accounts, and has written extensively on the futures industry. He is most famous for his Market Wizards series of books, interviews with great traders in all financial markets. He has just released the newest installment of that series Unknown Market Wizards, which I reviewed in my Top Ten Books for Traders list earlier this week.
Schwager has interviewed Bruce Kovner, David Shaw, Paul Tudor Jones, Ed Seykota, Michael Steinhardt, William O’Neill, William Eckhardt, Monroe Trout, Stanley Druckenmiller, Mark Ritchie, Blair Hull, Larry Hite, Jim Rogers, Edward Thorp, Richard Dennis, and many more of the worlds most famous and highest returning traders.
Patrick Boyle asks Jack about the characteristics these great traders have in common, what it takes to be a great trader, and what kind of returns do market wizards make in the long run. They discuss the efficient markets hypothesis, risk management, and how markets change over time.

Patrick, this isn't related to the video but was hoping to ask you about charts. Is there any stats regarding the validity of tech analysis and momentum? Can you trade successfully with tech analysis?

[@kylejf9059]

@@LiquidityThieves seems to be you can trade off a heck of a lot of "different systems" as long as they fit who you are. Read the "Unknown Market Wizards" - I'd always believed that to be the case but they entirely cement it. There's one guy who trades (traded?) off "social media trends" so to speak that uses neither TA nor fundamentals. He just believed in it, it fitted his personality.

Nasim Talab also uses the CUBA asset story.

[@LiquidityThieves]

patrick? do you reply to any of your comments? Id love to hear your input!!!!

[@DataLog]

@@LiquidityThieves They are self fulfilling prophecy. They work sometimes, because everyone is looking for the same patterns, and act the same whrn they see them. It's not long term viable, because it would require you to have an edge on when to enter and exit the position, while you are using the same instruments as other and act the same way as everyone else. A simple AI will beat 90% of you in the market on every such short term trade, and they are doing it everywhere.

[@gen-X-trader]

What he talks about around the 27 minute mark is so incredibly important. Not letting losses on any one position exceed roughly 5% ( depending on the standard deviation of the asset ) has been one of the greatest and hardest things that I have implemented. Managing risk was probably the hardest thing for me to learn how to successfully execute

[@PBoyle]

There is a tonne to learn from Jack.

I've gone back to this interview many times, grabbed all of Jacks books, Thanks Patrick love the channel

[@catherinebrower3560]

Two things I'm loving about this channel: 1. So much great information 2. You have a very nice suit

[@peterpauer4075]

Jack's first book set me up on my own trading journey and I recommend his books to anyone who asks me about trading. You pinpointed the reason why are his books unique exactly. Jack is a trader himself and you can see it by the way he approaches the interviews and asks the correct questions. Thank you for sharing this.

[@kylejf9059]

You said you'd be doing this but you caught me right off guard with it being so soon! On a bit of a dull day, this is excellent! I look forward to watching this tomorrow morning with my tea and coffee (as I tend to do). Really looking forward, and tell him I'm absolutely engrossed in his series of interviews! What a channel to be subscribed to 👌🏻👍🏼 PS: Literally reading "Market Wizards" this afternoon still. At the Ed Seykota interview.

[@dominicrussell8158]

Jack needs to get on KZbin, seems like he would be great at interviewing traders, so we get all of the right questions answered

Trading reveals one's character. My beginnings were characterised by failure which was driven largely by emotion, and that propelled me to learn and be self-disciplined. Thank you Patrick and Jack.

[@BigHenFor]

I love the second version of "The Wolf You Feed" "The Fight of Two Wolves Within You An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life: “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil-he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you-and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “If you feed them right, they both win.” and the story goes on: “You see, if I only choose to feed the white wolf, the black one will be hiding around every corner waiting for me to become distracted or weak and jump to get the attention he craves. He will always be angry and will always fight the white wolf.” “But if I acknowledge him, he is happy and the white wolf is happy and we all win. For the black wolf has many qualities - tenacity, courage, fearlessness, strong-willed and great strategic thinking-that I have need of at times. These are the very things the white wolf lacks. But the white wolf has compassion, caring, strength and the ability to recognize what is in the best interest of all.” “You see, son, the white wolf needs the black wolf at his side. To feed only one would starve the other and they will become uncontrollable. To feed and care for both means they will serve you well and do nothing that is not a part of something greater, something good, something of life.” “Feed them both and there will be no more internal struggle for your attention. And when there is no battle inside, you can listen to the voices of deeper knowledge that will guide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance.” “Peace, my son, is the Cherokee mission in life. A man or a woman who has peace inside has everything. A man or a woman who is pulled apart by the war inside him or her has nothing.” “How you choose to interact with the opposing forces within you will determine your life. Starve one or the other or guide them both.”"

[@jt4369]

I can best summarize how I feel about this channel in the following way: thank you for your terrific content. For me to judge this channel’s content would be tantamount to a kindergartener judging a PhD candidate’s thesis, but I am assured by your mannerisms and command of the intricacies of the subject matter that you are on the direct opposite end of those “gurus”. I’ve learned more watching your videos than I have in several quarters of university with a degree in Economics with a focus on finance. Maybe the degree is dated, but your presentation is always engaging and it’s a great glimpse into how the sausage is made.

[@tonymilne481]

His comments on the market are absurd. A market is efficient if it brings buyers and sellers together at minimum transaction cost, it has nothing to do with a third party’s perceived asset value. The markets he mentions were all efficient at balancing sellers and buyers. The whole point of a market is that the price fluctuates according to the relative saturation or scarcity of one or the other

[@nelsonclarke7912]

Amazing story about the phone call from Jack where you thought it was a prank. Reminds me of the time I received a phone call only to hear "congratulations you have won..." and I just hung up thinking "bloody scammers" like how often do you just "win something". Took them a few more attempts before I said I'd block their number and they had enough time to explain that I did actually win a Vmoto Milan scooter because I brought my car into the Nissan Dealership for a service while they were running a promotion some months earlier (information a scammer probably wouldn't have).

[@timjosling9298]
