Personally, I think I am the best forex trader in the world.

At least, I am to me.. I am the only person I would let trade my money.


This thread may be a bit old, but I think your summation is still fresh !

Anyone ever heard of Wayne Vass? He's a young trader, but his name is starting to become legendary. I believe when he first started, he stumbled his first few years like most traders. However, keeping up with his and 5 of the top world traders, his trading is by far superior.....

I am sure we'll hear more of this fella in the future.....

Hi Zamir,

I believe "top forex trader in the world" is a bit subjective, so I can't tell you that, but I can provide you with some resources:

1. Autumngold.com look up CTAs that trade just forex and find out who they are
2. mfglobalfutures.com and do a filtered search under managed futures for CTAs who just trade currency futures
3. barclayhedge offers a free trial of its very expensive alternative investment reports, but if there's anyone worth their salt who manages the big money you will find him/her here. You'll also learn a lot of hedge fund/managed account industry news/statistics if interested.

Hope this helps,

Kris Matthews

Dear All..

I have been trying to search top forex trader in the world on the net but no success. You can find, lot of info on Stocks Trader, hedge Fund, Commodities E.T.C but i couldnt find any single person who just trades Forex.

I hope i am wrong and there are succesful people trading forex and are also on Billionaire list.

Anyway way, if you know any names, please let me know. I would like to know about them, their perosnalities e.t.c.

Thanks

The best traders in the world generally are never named,keep under the radar,and trade anything else they want.

Whenever they want.
For the love of it.

The rest of this is an email I sent a while back:

Once you have "it" you can trade anything that appeals to you...options, ETFs,futures,small caps,FX,commodities,eminis,etc etc.


If one has certain skills,which can be honed with practice:
-excellent pattern recognition
-supreme attention to detail
-concentration
-tight discipline
-extreme work ethic
-reasonable intellect
...anything is possible.

So give up: watching Family Guy,stupid sit-coms,"reality" TV,negative friends/family, and get down to work.

If you lose friends who are negative about your attempts to better yourself,no big loss. Hang out with successful,positive people.Or you're better off on your own.

Pull out all the stops:
-lose sleep while studying
-get another part time job on the weekends to fund an account if you don't have enough $$$.
-if you smoke,drink,eat out,etc.just stop it. Add it up,I bet most could fund a small account in a couple weeks by stopping all this BS.
-get up 2 hours early before work and virtual trade the markets.
-instead of getting home from work and spending 2 hours on Facebook or trading forums-virtual trade for a few hours.
-then start small with tiny lots trading live,and graduate up to full 100k lots.

JUST GIVE UP ALL THOSE F*$KING EXCUSES.


Yes,life will be kind of tough,tiring, and stressful,and it may take several attempts to figure it out...or you may not make it work at all. Then try options,or eminis,or penny stocks-whatever.

If you can make it work,the world is your oyster.

You can do whatever,wherever,whenever,with whomever you want for as long as you want.

I think that's worth working for.
The harder I work,the luckier I get.

I have several buddies... hedge fund types and I asked for their input.

They threw around a lot of the names that most have already mentioned.

However... almost everyone agreed the best trader... day trader... swing trader type is John Arnold.

He's the energy guy and before this past year averaged 20% month for several years.

He's on the Forbes list.

I think the best traders / investors (Rogers, Soros, Buffet) are those who buy something and who "can forget" about it:

In other words: money management and fundies...and then they make huge returns on that "tiny" part of capital they put down. They trade because of fundies...look at Rogers, Buffet.

Not saying being a chartist is "second hand" but must say remembering from my stock trading days it is so much less stress buying something knowing for sure it is going up....

And money management has mainly been my downfall so far in fx trading....

Thanks for putting this old thread on the radar.

I like your attitude, Skippy. There are so many uncertainties associated with trading that this kind of ethic is a neccessity.

Cheers,

Kris

Soros is King but Google 'Kurt Hanks forex'. I bet he can give anyone a run for their money on a % gain basis.

There is a new company called Zerela Global Investments Limited based in UK. I know it exists coz I searched the Companies House database. I have been noticing that this company is constantly updating on facebook and twitter. They reported its first profit only after 3 weeks of incorporation. Think this company is trading in the forex markets. Dont know anything else abt the company though. My point here is that there has to be something interesting abt this company for them to have a profit after only 3 weeks in business? Think a trader decided to start his/her own company? Anybody knows anything?

"Today, Bruce Kovner may well be the world's largest trader in the interbank currency and futures markets." -from Jack Schwager, published 1990.
That was 20 years ago, and Kovner did start in commodity futures...but I assume we can safely say for at least some time, he did focus largely in currencies. Obviously, the forex market is much different today.
He still runs a hedge fund, and has managed to hang onto his personal wealth, among the richest in America in 2009, est. net worth $3.5 billion.
His fund was up 13% last year, and has been closed to new investors since 1992 I believe. (approx $14 billion under management, one of the world's largest hedge funds according to Wikipedia).
Great traders can trade many markets, and if they are known money managers, they diversify across many markets. Certainly, there are probably some amazing daytraders of currencies, they are just unknown.
