About this listen

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.

Simply Brilliant

I have been searching for a reply to the efficient market hypothesis and I’m pleased to say I have found it. It is fantastic to hear the stories of successful traders and of often they fail as well as their wins. I really enjoyed the technical explanations throughout the book and towards the end.

Great content, Dreadful narrator

The knowledge and wisdom imparted by the interviewees is golden.

However, the narrator kind of took a risk with trying to do British accents, and it did not pay off. His "British accent" is basically an American accent but occasionally pronouncing certain words with a Cockney inflection. It is painful. The only respite is that the narrator tends to forget to do the British accent half the time so you can just focus on the content. But even then, the narrator tries too hard to differentiate his voice from the interviewees to the point where the interviewee sounds a bit weird and unnatural.

I've actually switched to the Kindle e-book version of this because I feel the narrator is just too distracting and doesn't do justice.

Great style of interviews and then analysis of different traders. Would have liked to have a long term trader included

Good style. Great lessons on method and physchology. Would have liked to hear about traders that hold for medium to long term and not just short term

Terrible accents

Who thought that this narrator doing accents was a good idea? They're so bad it's almost unlistenable at times.

Good book - but the narrator.....

it's a good book and as a trader I relate to it. The narrator's attempt at accents was awful.
