The best traders.
This section is devoted to describing the success stories of famous traders and the strategies they used. Is it so difficult to succeed in trading? What is needed for this? The main secrets of profitable trading on the stock exchange.
Andy Krieger - the best Forex advertising
Most people do not want to devote their lives to trading on the stock exchange; they just want to earn a lot of money.
Therefore, reports that someone has made millions from literally one transaction are always very popular.
Almost everyone knows the story about George Soros , who earned a billion dollars in one day, but almost no one knows the record of another investor.
Andy Krieger earned a little less, all 300 million dollars in one day of trading, thanks to this record he was recorded as a famous trader.
Andy’s biography is not particularly original; he was born in 1956, graduated from high school, and a few years later got a job at Solomon Brothers.
It was Solomon Brothers that at that time became a school for many future financial magnates, as the company accepted people from the street and taught stock trading.
Richard Dennis. The story of a boy who became a millionaire
At the beginning of their journey, many famous traders faced the problem of lack of capital. 
Having studied the literature and participated in stock exchange trainings, everyone comes to the conclusion that only initial large capital will help ensure a rich life when achieving positive trading results.
From a mathematical point of view, this is true, but the story of Richard Dennis shows that determination and skill in your business, even with little capital, can bring in millions of dollars.
Richard Dennis is Native American and was born in Chicago in 1949.
Richard felt his first taste of defeat on the stock exchange at school, because at such a young age he had already started working as an ordinary messenger on the stock exchange floor, where he was paid $40 a week.
Seeing the active activity of famous traders, he himself wanted to try himself in this business, so he began to secretly trade with his meager salary.
Helena Morrissey: how to combine family and a successful career
We have already said more than once that recently, well-known women traders have been more successful than their male counterparts.
For example, from the results of a study by one of the well-known news agencies, it follows that in 2018, hedge funds managed by women brought twice as much profit as those managed by men.
Therefore, owners of investment companies are increasingly seeking to involve females in asset management.
This approach is intended to radically change the current situation, because now only 10% of women occupy such positions.
One of the most striking examples of a female foundation leader is Helena Morrissey.
Biography
Helena was born in 1966 in the north-west of England into a family of teachers, perhaps it was the latter that helped her study well at Bishop Luffa, and then enroll and graduate from Cambridge.
Larry Williams Strategy
Like any famous trader, Larry Williams wrote a very interesting book about his approach to
the financial markets, revealed some of the secrets of his trading strategy and showed the whole world that a simple trading strategy, coupled with competent capital management, can bring simply unimaginable profits.
Many people distrust textbooks on trading, since more and more often it is writers who write books, but not actual practicing players.
Therefore, we increasingly see multi-page publications by various authors, but behind a ton of unnecessary information we do not see the most important thing, namely a truly working tool, thanks to which we can make money on the stock exchange.
Larry Williams does not know how to talk, as other famous traders do, he is not a rather verbose person.
Therefore, he easily included all his knowledge and achievements in just one book, and after a year not a single new edition was published, which indicates his commitment to his views and system to this day.
Michael Reubens Bloomberg, an unusual billionaire
In the modern world there are quite a few people who are able to take unpopular measures for the sake of a good cause.
Most politicians and financial magnates and famous traders are populists and all their actions are aimed at increasing their own popularity.
One of the rare exceptions is Michael Reubens Bloomberg, owner of the news agency of the same name, billionaire, mayor of New York from 2001 to 2014, UN representative on cities and climate change.
This man has repeatedly proven his integrity and has done a lot of useful things for the city of New York and the world community as a whole.
His example proves that even rich and famous traders can be good people, since this man’s actions were not always for profit.
Principles of successful trading from Mark Douglas
Mark Douglas is one of the most famous traders and authors of books on stock trading, or more precisely, its psychological aspects.
One of his works, “ The Disciplined Trader ,” is even present on our website.
Mark believes that all trading is based on five basic principles, knowledge of which will allow you to receive stable profits.
These principles may seem difficult to understand at first, but over time everything will fall into place.
1. If there is a possibility of losses, it can be realized - considering this principle in a practical sense, we can say that the risk of losses always exists. And you should not ignore the rules of money management, no matter how profitable the transaction may seem to you.
Benjamin Graham is not only a great theorist, but also a successful practitioner
A man who became a legend among traders, famous traders and investors, who managed to develop the maximum system for assessing the value of shares, and most importantly, the prospects for their future course.
Benjamin was born on May 8, 1894 in England, his first name was Grossbaum, the future investor had Jewish roots.
The family was quite wealthy and intelligent, but still, in 1895, the parents decided to move to the United States, which became fateful in Graham’s life.
Unfortunately, a few years after the move, the father died, which worsened the family’s financial situation and the mother had to raise other people’s children, for which she opened a private boarding house.
Benjamin himself studied quite well, and this allowed him after school to receive a scholarship to study at Columbia University, which he completed safely and successfully a few years later.
The first job of a twenty-year-old boy was the position of an assistant in one of the brokerage companies in New York, which he preferred to the position of a professor at the same Columbia University.
Clara Fers, how you can combine trading and family.
Many men believe that a woman has no place on the stock exchange; even more are confident that blondes are not capable of doing anything serious.
Clara Fers was able to prove the opposite; she not only became a trader, but also headed one of the largest exchanges in the world as CEO.
At the same time, Clara can still successfully combine work with family life and sports; at the moment she only works until 12 noon.
The first half of the day is enough for her to analyze the market and make a decision on opening a new transaction or closing existing ones.
Trading and a career did not at all prevent Clara from having time to marry her husband, have three children and regularly play sports, which will serve as an excellent example for men who never have time for their family.
How did Clara Fers manage to make a career, and even start a family?
Clara was born in 1957 into a German family who moved to Canada before the outbreak of World War II. The family was far from poor; the father had an aluminum production business, which brought in a lot of money during the war.

Continuing the series of articles about female traders, one cannot fail to mention Linda Raschke, who managed to earn a fortune of more than $60 million on the stock exchange.
She started her career with a deposit of 25,000 received under management and, thanks to a hedging strategy, was able to double the funds received in three months.
The basis of her trading was technical analysis, using it Linda not only finds successful entry points into the market, but also closes positions on time.

John Kay - Dreams come true.
Each of us in childhood dreamed of something great and bright, but unfortunately, not everyone manages to get closer to their cherished dream.
John Kay is one of those people who were able to fully realize themselves in life, despite the fact that he had to achieve everything himself and start building his life from the very bottom.
The future rich man and Prime Minister of New Zealand was born in 1961 into a family of immigrants who lived in a social housing block.
At an early age, John lost his father and his mother had to work two jobs to somehow make ends meet.
Thanks to his academic success, John Key managed not only to successfully graduate from school, but also to enter the university, from which he successfully graduated in 1981 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree.
Dana Galante's strategy - Sell what is too expensive.
The basis of a successful strategy is always the rule that you should never deviate from the chosen strategy.
This rule has allowed many investors to make fortunes without creating sophisticated scripts and trading robots.
An excellent example of confirmation of such words is Dana Galante, and the trading option she developed will be understandable to any beginner.
But at the same time, for many years it brings guaranteed profit to its author, and the profit is received not only by Dana herself, but also by the investors of the investment fund she created.
Now let's talk about the strategy itself.
Its main principle is that it contradicts the established rule - Buy in a rising market and sell in a falling one.
