Through his bestselling Market Wizards books, Schwager has probed the minds of the world's most successful traders, studying their personal traits and learning the secret techniques that have turned them into investment role models. In this illuminating presentation, Schwager shares his own insights and observations, along with those of his prominent interviewees.

You'll master the fine art of trading as you discover and apply the key methods and traits shared by the world's most acclaimed traders. You'll also learn the critical, yet often overlooked, factors necessary for trading success. A sampling:

• The importance of self-analysis for finding a trading method that fits your personality and goals
• The real risk in volatility: bailing out on the downswings
• Why risk control is more important than the entry method
• How to develop the habit of "disloyalty": why you must learn to change directions—and how to do it quickly
• The power of patience, both in getting in and getting out of positions
• How the natural human tendency to seek comfort will lead you astray in the markets
• What to do when the market lets you off the hook in a bad position

Winning Methods of the Market Wizards will help you develop the discipline and good money management skills that are so essential to profitable trading.

About the Author:

Jack Schwager has written extensively on the futures industry and great traders (in all financial markets). His first book, A Complete Guide to the Futures Markets, published in 1984 and is considered to be one of the classic reference works in the field. More than a decade later he revised and expanded this original work into the three-volume series, Schwager on Futures, consisting of Fundamental Analysis (1995), Technical Analysis (1996), and Managed Trading: Myths and Truths (1996). He is also the author of Getting Started in Technical Analysis (1999), which is part of John Wiley’s popular “Getting Started” series. Mr Schwager is perhaps best known for his best-selling series of interviews with the greatest hedge fund managers of the last two decades, which includes Market Wizards (1989 and 2006), The New Market Wizards (1992), and Stock Market Wizards (2001). Mr Schwager is a frequent seminar speaker and has lectured on a range of analytical topics with particular focus on the characteristics of great traders, fallacies of hedge fund investing, technical analysis, and
trading system evaluation. He holds a BA in Economics from Brooklyn College (1970) and an MA in Economics from Brown University (1971).
