Brainyforex Summary Jack Schwager's Market Wizard Insights;
Low Drawdowns
Near the start of the video Jack talks about successful traders
whom records show they can produce good results with "low draw-downs".
There have been many successful traders that have achieved
outstanding results, however the risk that they took to get them many
not have been the smartest thing to do.
Further on in the video Jack explains how he interviewed one
trader whom was facing a loss of 85 million from one trade before
closing out at a 17 million dollar loss.
Develop Strategy in line with your Personality
Jack noticed that all the market wizards traded differently and found
that the secret to a trading strategy was trading in line with your own
personality type. Jack says there is no magical mathematical formula
that these successful trading wizards have found.
You will not succeed with another traders system
Jack believes that 98% of people whom purchase a trading system will not
succeed with it because they lack the confidence to continue to trade
it during difficult times when it starts showing a loss. He says even
though this may be normal with any system, the purchaser will give up on
the system at that stage and not carry on with it. Thereby not having
faith in the system and giving up on it.
Common denominators of all market wizards
Jack found that all successful market wizards used a strategy or
method to trade by, they were disciplined, they held a strong belief
that they would be successful, they worked hard and enjoyed what they
were doing.
