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.

This book is a good follow up of Jack's first two books.
So, useful for experienced traders and all traders. It is an integral resource for practitioners to learn new and different approaches. Things change in the markets. Always good to update from time to time.

A Must for New Traders

Loved the real life stories and candid advice coming from the masters of the trade. I admire how Schwager manages to make his books so interesting that I couldn't wait to hear the next "interview". The way he edits the stories so we have little anecdotes or historical information that helps the listener put things in context is masterful. The information I learned as a new traders in invaluable. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about doing trading as a hobby or as a new career.

What traders actually need to hear

As an up and coming futures trader myself, it’s hard to find true, reliable, and accurate information to help develop trading skills. Most books have either too broad concepts or too specific anecdotes. The way the interviews give us true insight in the emotions and thoughts great traders go through in different situations. We can then picture ourselves in those same situations and contrast our behaviour and feelings with theirs and improve in an applied and concrete way.

My favorite book series of all time

Best series ever! Glad to see some more recent examples of great traders and their unique styles. DJ is one of the greatest narrators as well.

Another great book from the Market Wizards series.

Very insightful book and it is great to dive into the thought process of some successful retail traders. It is obviously not a book from which you would copy some strategies but the interviews and the stories shared help us understand the type of minset that is required to succeed in this business and give us several examples of how the best form their trading rules and implement some systematic décision making. i would definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to get started in trading.

Schwager did it again

Even in a world full of podcasts interviewing traders, Schwager manages to find the best among the best (with the biggest differential being his verification of financial claims). Amazing book.
