Q & A with Jack D. Schwager, author of Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders More than twenty years have passed since the first edition of this book was released. Is it as relevant today as it was then? Absolutely. Markets may change and the specific techniques or systems that work best may change, but the underlying core principles that lead to trading success stay the same. And there is a good reason for that. Through all periods, market price moves reflect some combination of underlying fundamentals and human behavior. Since human nature doesn't change, the market's basic behavioral patterns don't change either. I believe that every conclusion I reached about the factors important to trading success in the first edition remains equally valid today. Perhaps the best testament to the continued relevance of Market Wizards in today's markets is that so many of the managers I meet who read the original edition early in their careers make it required reading for new traders in their organization. Has trading fundamentally changed with the rise of the quants and algorithmic traders? The growing role of algorithmic trading may have eliminated some market inefficiencies as sources of profitable strategies, and it may even have impacted the efficacy of some trading systems, but I don't believe it has changed fundamental market behavior. The same basic concepts that are critical to trading success remain as valid now as they were a generation ago when computerized trading was in its infancy. What are these basic concepts? Well that's what this book is all about. But to offer one example, I believe that developing a trading methodology that fits your personality, as opposed to seeking someone else's approach, is an absolutely critical element to succeeding as a trader. Why do most traders fail? There are many reasons. They seek easy answers. They listen to "experts" and chase trading fads instead of doing the hard work of developing their own methodology. They focus almost all their energy on determining trade entry points and all but ignore the more critical questions of trade exit and risk management. They listen to other people. These are a few of the reasons. Readers will find a lot more in the book. Which trader interview in the book has been the most popular? Readers will often tell me that a certain chapter was their favorite and by far the most important in improving their own trading. The interesting thing is that they always seem to mention a different trader. There is no consensus. Different readers will find different things in the book important. They will relate to different traders. It all goes back to the importance of finding your own approach in the market. Have the interviews you did for Market Wizards been important to your own trading? The interview and writing process has helped solidify in my own mind the principles that are important to trading success. At times, it has also had a very specific influence. A great example occurred last summer. At the time, the stock market was approaching the high end of a long-term trading range, and for a variety of reasons, I expected the rally to fail and was positioned on the short side of stock index futures. Then the government released an extremely bearish employment report. It was so negative that commentators couldn't even cite one offsetting bullish consideration, as they usually do. The market initially sold off sharply in response
--"perfect," I thought of my trade
--but by the end of the day, it nearly recovered the entire loss, ending the week near the recent high. From the perspective of a short, this was terrible price action. I thought I was in trouble. I was prepared to cover most of my position when the market opened on Sunday night. On Sunday night, however, the market opened lower. I immediately thought of Marty Schwartz's advice in this book: "If you're very nervous about a position overnight, and especially over the weekend, and you're able to get out at a much better price than you thought when the market trades, you're usually better off staying with the position." I did, and Schwartz's insight saved me a lot of money, as the market proceeded to move sharply lower in the ensuing weeks. 前言/序言
穿越市場迷霧:從華爾街精英的實戰智慧中洞悉投資奧秘 在這個信息爆炸、市場波動日益加劇的時代,如何駕馭財富之船,實現長期的投資成功,成為瞭無數人心中的終極難題。金融市場的復雜性如同深邃的海洋,充滿瞭未知的暗流與突如其來的風暴。許多人投入時間與金錢,卻往往被市場的噪音和情緒所裹挾,最終與盈利失之交臂。我們需要的,不僅僅是冰冷的理論模型,更是那些在殘酷實戰中磨礪齣來的、鮮活的、可復製的經驗與心法。 本書並非旨在提供一套放之四海而皆準的“必勝公式”,因為在金融世界中,這樣的公式從未存在。相反,它是一次深度、坦誠的對話之旅,帶領讀者走進那些在交易領域攀至頂峰的智者內心世界。我們將探尋的,是如何在極端的壓力下保持清晰的頭腦,如何在信息不對稱的戰場上建立起自己的獨特優勢,以及最終,如何構建起一套能夠經受住時間考驗的個人交易哲學。 核心理念的深度挖掘:交易的本質與人性的抗爭 成功的交易,其核心往往不在於對宏觀經濟數據的精妙預測,而在於對交易心理學的深刻理解與駕馭。本書將聚焦於以下幾個關鍵維度,深入剖析頂級交易員的思維框架: 一、風險的重定義與資本的守護 對於職業交易者而言,盈利固然重要,但對風險的敬畏與管理,纔是生存的基石。我們將深入探討,那些常人難以想象的巨額虧損是如何被有效控製在可承受範圍內的。這不僅僅是關於止損點的設置,更是一種將“保本”置於“暴富”之上的哲學。書中會詳盡闡述: 頭寸規模的動態調整藝術: 瞭解市場處於不同波動狀態時,如何科學地分配資金,避免過度暴露於單一風險之下。 “黑天鵝”事件的預案構建: 探討頂級玩傢如何構建多層次的防禦體係,確保在市場發生極端不可預測事件時,核心資本能夠安然無恙。 虧損的心理學處理: 揭示麵對連續失利時,職業人士如何區分“市場噪音”與“係統性缺陷”,避免因挫敗感而導緻魯莽的報復性交易。 二、信息優勢的構建與解讀 在這個信息唾手可得的時代,信息本身已不再是稀缺資源。真正的優勢,在於如何篩選、消化並領先他人一步地將信息轉化為行動。本書將揭示精英交易員如何: 超越共識: 頂尖的交易者往往能看到市場尚未完全定價的潛力或陷阱。我們將探討他們是如何培養“逆嚮思維”的能力,質疑主流敘事,並從細微的數據變化中捕捉到宏觀趨勢的早期信號。 研究方法的差異化: 不同的市場領域(股票、期貨、外匯、期權)需要截然不同的分析工具。書中將匯集多位專傢關於如何構建和優化其個人分析模型的經驗,無論是基於量化的因子模型,還是基於定性基本麵的深度研究。 時間的價值: 探討在不同時間框架下(日內、波段、長綫),信息和決策的權重是如何變化的,以及如何避免被短期波動分散對長期趨勢的判斷。 三、交易係統的哲學化與紀律的鑄造 從發現交易機會到執行、再到迴顧和修正,一套嚴謹的係統是持續盈利的唯一保障。本書不會提供任何現成的“代碼”,而是著重於構建係統的“方法論”: 策略的生命周期管理: 每一個有效的交易策略都有其生命周期。我們將學習頂尖人士是如何客觀地判斷一個策略是否已經“失效”或進入衰退期,以及何時應該果斷地進行迭代升級,而不是固守過時的規則。 情緒的自動化取代: 交易的最高境界是“知行閤一”,即讓係統決策取代情緒反應。書中會描述交易員如何利用技術手段和心理訓練,將執行過程去人化、流程化,將人性中的貪婪與恐懼降到最低。 交易日誌的深度利用: 成功的交易者將每一次交易都視為一次寶貴的實驗。我們將探討如何記錄和分析交易數據,不僅僅關注盈虧數字,更深入到決策過程中的每一個細微環節,從而實現指數級的學習增長。 四、職業生涯的長期維護:身心平衡的藝術 高強度的金融交易是對精神和體能的雙重考驗。本書的獨特之處在於,它觸及瞭交易者職業生涯的“可持續性”問題。那些能屹立數十年不倒的巨匠,必然有一套獨特的應對壓力和保持專注的秘訣。讀者將瞭解到: 工作與生活的邊界設定: 如何在瞬息萬變的市場中,劃清工作與個人生活的界限,防止職業倦怠。 持續學習的心態: 市場環境永不停止演變,如何保持謙遜和開放的心態,接受自己知識的局限性,並不斷地嚮新的領域學習。 交易之外的支撐係統: 探討頂尖人士在麵對重大挑戰時,其傢庭、導師或社群是如何為他們提供心理支持和客觀視角的。 結語:成為自己交易哲學的構建者 閱讀本書的過程,不是為瞭找到一個可以立即套用的秘訣,而是進行一次深刻的自我審視和思維重塑。市場是最好的老師,但它收費高昂。通過這些業界傳奇人物的經驗分享,讀者可以有效地降低自己的學習成本,避免那些代價慘重的錯誤。 最終,真正的市場奇纔,不是掌握瞭某種秘密指標的人,而是那些深刻理解市場本質、嚴格約束自身行為,並能將復雜決策轉化為清晰行動的紀律執行者。本書將是您構建個人、穩健且持續盈利的交易哲學的必備指南。它邀請您一同踏上這段探尋投資真諦的徵程,從彆人的智慧中,照亮自己的前行之路。
