I really enjoyed reading "Market Wizards". I think Jack Schwager poses most of the right questions. I will try to list a few of the subtle points which I find most educational and amusing; hopefully, without including all the cliche trading aphorisms out there in trading land: 1. It is very interesting to note that the vast majority of traders mentioned utilize discretionary techniques, hence they are not systems traders 2. Both Bruce Kovner and Michael Marcus more or less state that market selection can be just as important as technique 3. Commodities Corporation appears to be some kind of freaky breeding ground for brilliant traders! The "New Market Wizards" also provides food for thought: 1. Most institutional "traders" are not really traders, they are market makers; profiting from the "vig". 2. Ed Seykota of "Market Wizards" fame opines that trend following systems and other systems, despite their widespread use, will never cease to work altogether. William Eckhardt on the other hand, seems to vehemently believe that cybernetic trading technologies will eventually find and exploit all profitable nonlinear price to price relationships; thereby rendering technical analysis obsolete. If Jack Schwager ever decides to 3peat, I hope that he includes more technically oriented material; old systems, exotic money management ideas and so forth. Ok, I've said enough. Forgive my grammar though do get this book!
