Best Trader of All-Time

  1. Best Trader... hrmmm...

    First of all, you'll never hear about them in public. Secondly, as another person mentioned... it's a different market condition as it was 10 (2-3) years ago.

    That said, from all the stories about different people I've heard, and who is current trading live...

    My choice is a lady that trades for Rothschild.

    Can't believe Ed Seykota's name is not mentioned yet.

  4. He's a Livermore type.

    - Went broke 2-3 times after the Market Wizard interview.

    I can assure you that Ed Seykota has not blown up his, or his clients accounts, at any stage.

  6. - Hopefully, we're talking about the one who traded with Com. Corp...

    - The "not-so-legendary-in-real-life" trader featured in Market Wizard....

    - Has zero discipline who continues to break his own trend-following system rules...

    - Major temper and emotional up/downs depending on the day... screams alot at his desk...

    ... Seykota

    My source is from a former partner of his in Chicago...

    Yes, the same Ed Seykota. My source is witnessing audited client statements. Would your source be anything to do with Galt Capital ? Ed had a fairly bitter separation with some senior Galt people.

  8. Well...

    1. 1/4... yes. But it's something I read in Curtis' site a while back about Ed. Plenty of 4th and 5th hand information sources from Galt Capital and Mike Covel's group of things with Turtles...

    2. 3/4... no. Old School Com. Corp. people who used to trade with the firm and some of the locals... has a bunch of stories about how he played Schwager well...
