Not implying that this person is the best, but there's been one account name that's popped up on IBFX's monthly trading contest TEN times in 2 years. This person's achieved monthly returns of more than 200% in 10 out of 24 months for his/her mini account (and won more than $5k through the contest in the process). Not surprised if he/she made decent profits in the other months, but missed out on a top 10 place that would have put the account name up on the website. Breathtaking consistency.

Ly1234

No idea who this account holder is, but definitely an inspiration to another mini account holder like myself =)



PS. I made it to #62 in the Jan 2010 contest =p
I have no biases. I just trade what the charts tell me.

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.....

Wayne Vass is X.oden

Hello, Good People,

I am currently working at a small bank in Southern Africa in one of the main cities,

My opinion is that their is sevaral good forex traders in the world, If i have to specify one specific person i would maybe say Gregor Raum, He is definitly one of the best forex traders in the world,

I am also working on a track record and will make it available later to anyone interested..

Cheers and good luck!

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).
Maybe I'm wrong but the biggest HF in the world have around $80 billion UM. I forget the name but for sure this $14 B. UM fund is not the biggest.

On topic: there is no such thing as "the best trader in the world" because the performance can't be quantified perfectly to be compared. Ok, you can use sharpe ratio or other metrics which calculate the profits in relation with risk but every math formula has it's flaws.

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.
There are a lot of monitoring services on the web where you can find statistics for traders who participate in the monitoring. Many traders want to find investments so they participate in such programs.

I think Andy Krieger, George Soros and Bruce Kovner are the most successful traders in the world.

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
I know of at least one successful Forex trader. She was a Japanese housewife who owed the government 1.6mil Yen in taxes from her Forex trading venture. She said her strategy was studying the inter-currency relationships. I read an article about her and that's how I know.

If you owe 1.6 mil just in taxes from trading Forex, I would say you are rich. Not sure how's she doing now. But I like the anonymity of Forex traders as one of the post said. If that housewives had paid her taxes quietly and faithfully, I would've never heard of her.

Ha!! You've heard about her too!! Glad I wasn't the only one. She is my hero. And she is 60? Wow!!!

Apparently, from that article that I read, she analyzes inter-currency relationships to profit. Not sure how she did it thou.

I dunno it was a LONG TIME ago that I read that article about her so I could be wrong about the figure but she is pretty awesome.

Someone else mentioned her in this thread too. Apparently she's 61 and still trading. She just recently wrote a book about Forex trading too.

Long live Forex trading!!
