The 5 traders who broke the system ( and how they did it )

While most are losing money in the stock market, these guys made fortunes. What's the secret? It's not luck.

The legend that “broke” a bank

George Soros did something in 1992 that seemed impossible: he beat the Bank of England and pocketed over a billion in a single trade. His weapon: understanding what the global markets were doing wrong before anyone else. He doesn't trade random numbers; he trades economic trends that others do not see.

The champion who did it twice

Mark Minervini is not a normal guy. In 1997, he won the U.S. Traders Championship with a 155% return. Crazy, right? Well, he did it again in 2021: 334.8%. His method: pure technical analysis, reading charts as if they were treasure maps.

When Mathematics and Trading Get Married

Jim Simmons is a mathematician who introduced algorithms to trading. Result: 66% annualized return over 40 years. While others trade emotionally, he trades patterns. Numbers don't lie.

The pioneer of machine trading

Ed Seykota was one of the first to automate trading. 60% annual return for 30 years, all based on intelligent risk management and trend following. While everyone wanted to go all-in, he controlled his losses.

The tycoon who invested in trends

Ray Dalio founded Bridgewater, one of the largest funds in the world. His secret: he doesn't chase quick profits, he chases long trends. And after accumulating billions, he started to throw them into education and aid. Money is just the starting point.

The moral: The best are not lucky geniuses. They are masters of analysis, discipline, and risk management. Can you replicate their methods? That's another story.
