Regarding BNF, the Japanese trader who turned $13,000 into $250,000,000 in eight years (or $16,000 into $208,000,000 in eight years by some accounts), is there anyone here who speaks/reads Japanese and knows a lot about his strategy? There are a lot of articles and videos online that feature him trading and explaining how he does things, but they're all in Japanese and very little is in English about him or his strategy. I have a list of links to the videos and articles that I can go copy and paste to someone in a PM if they would be kind enough to do some translation regarding his strategy.
I highly recommend you contact the ET members name GloriaBrown and cashclay. I believe they read/speak Japanese. Also, the ET member name Golden Retriever Trading. You can also contact the owner of the website http://kininarukabu.com that has followed many of the famous Japanese traders. I believe he/she can do the translation for you or maybe point you to someone that can translate for you. There's an British website (blog) that has translated many of the interviews, videos and articles of the famous Japanese traders but I can't remember the name. The owner of that site is fluent in English and Japanese along with being a hedge fund manager.
I do speak intermediate Japanese, but I am totally clueless on the terminology used in trading. I can give it a shot if you wanna send me some links because I have heard about him and am quite curious about it.
Oh wow, that's absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much. If by any chance you remember the British site/blog, please do post it. That sounds extremely exciting. Once again, thank you.
http://hedgefund.blogspot.co.uk/ I think this is the site of the hedge fund manager who writes about japan in english.
I saw him on TV explaining how he trades, and also read what the CIS guy had to say. If what they said is true or not, I have no idea. But I can tell you that you would be quite disappointed if you expected to find something new or revealing.
