Top seven traders: Who they are and how they reached success

Thanks to the possibilities provided by Forex, you can easily reach success with some practice and perseverance. Have you ever wondered who the world’s top traders are?

The world’s top traders and their path to success

Although sometimes the Forex trading strategies they use are not well-known in financial markets, the truth is that there are investors who have forged their fortunes thanks to their intuition, boldness, and luck. These are the names that lead in the investment sector:

1.  George Soros

Today, this tycoon is a top-ranked investor. His opinion and advice in this field are as revered as the Bible by his followers. Soros is currently the most globally acknowledged broker. Thanks to his success, he can afford to work as a philanthropist and as a true magician of everything that is related to the stock market.

2.  James Simons

An expert in mathematics applied to finance, he has increased the profitability of his funds in the last two decades. This deserves recognition, considering that within this period, the world has experienced the most beastly crisis we can remember.

3.  Paul Tudor Jones

Above all, Paul Tudor Jones has deserved his privileged position by anticipating the stock market crash of 1987, which served to double the assets of his customers. He is managing his company activity, i.e., Tudor Inv., combining this with philanthropic pursuits.

4.  John Paulson

Paulson managed to proclaim himself as the Boss of Finance, the master of the stock exchanges, thanks to the overwhelming dividends of more than $15 million that he wagered against high-risk mortgages (the so-called ‘subprime mortgages’) before the market burst. A feat that is difficult to match.

5.  Griffin Kenneth

The number one of hedge funds worldwide. Kenneth’s company has reached such a level of importance, that he alone manages around 3% of all the volume of business deals that are daily concluded on the New York Stock Exchange.

6.  John D. Arnold

His name has become a true legend in the world of finance. Because of his investments in the energy sector, he assisted the battered Enron company to lift its head thanks to a profit of $750 million that he earned for it.

As if that were not enough, he has also added to his resume the earnings of more than $2 million investing in the Amaranth Advs fund.

7.  Steve Cohen

For many, this man is the most important trader in the world and the most powerful wolf on Wall Street. His ways and strategies to amass incredible sums of money in the markets have led him to be the supreme figure in finances.

Is it possible to become a successful trader?

Although luck and opportunity are important in trading, it is also essential to have good preparation that allows you to understand the markets, their fluctuations, and the factors that influence them.

Undoubtedly, having a trusted broker, which meets all the requirements and guarantees to invest safely, is the first step to achieving success in Forex trading. Like in every niche, in finance, preparation and experience are keys to success.
