Market Wizards Insights Review

I just got a membership to INO TV Premium and started watching some of the videos. If you have never heard of INO.com, it is an informational and educational website for traders.

The main INO.com website is a great resource for free quotes and charts for most markets in the US. They also have other paid services.

As soon as I opened my INO TV homepage and browsed through the contents, I was impressed with the number of video and audio recordings that they have available. The first video I started watching was a video of a presentation that Jack Schwager gave called Market Wizards Insights.

It was basically a summary of everything he learned from the superstar traders he interviewed in his Market Wizards books. Although I have read all of his books, it was a good refresher on what can be learned from these great traders. Here are some key points of his speech:

What is important in trading

Here is a short list of things that Schwager found most important to becoming a successful trader.

Trade with your personality

Regardless of what has been working for other people, you have to trade a system that suits your personality. It either has to compliment your strengths, overcome your weaknesses or both. That is not to say that a system that someone else creates cannot work for you, but you have to figure our your own unique way of trading it.

You have to have an edge

You have to have a specific, definable edge over the market. Like with any other endeavor, if you are not skilled, you will not do well. The best traders understand the edge that they have over the markets and constantly exploit it for profit.

Work hard, work smart

All of the top traders worked hard to refine their technique and constantly improve themselves in order to become better traders. It is not only about putting in a lot of hours, it is also about being open to ways of improving that may seem foreign or strange at the beginning.

No loyalty to a position

Top traders know how to cut losses short and take profits when the target is hit. They don’t get too excited about a position and make a business decision to take the profit or take the loss, based on the parameters of their system.

How he became successful

What I found most interesting about this video was how Schwager became a successful trader. Schwager realized that he is a very impatient person by nature. He would exit trades too early and not give them enough time to play out.

In order to overcome his impatience, he became a mechanical trader. By using computer programs to trade his system, the programs are able to wait and only exit at his profit target or his stop loss.

Conclusion

Overall this was a good video, especially if you have not read the books.  Even if you have read the books (like me) it was an excellent reminder of what it takes to become successful.

The recordings that I am finding most helpful are the ones on trading psychology. I’m sure that I could always learn something new from the trade setup standpoint, but I have found that my winning or losing is becoming more and more about my own psychology than the actual system I am trading.

I am going to continue looking through these recordings and hopefully I can find a few winners. As I am writing this review, I am already listening to New Samurai Secrets for Trading and it is starting off really well. I will keep you posted!
