# The 5 traders who broke the market ( and their secrets )

Do you want to know how some became billionaires in trading? Here they are:

**George Soros** - The legend who crashed the pound sterling in 1992 and made over $1B in a single trade. His formula: read the global market like an open book.

**Mark Minervini** - 334% profitability in 2021 (yes, you read that right). Two-time trading champion. His secret: pure technical analysis and pattern-hunting without distractions.

**Jim Simmons** - Mathematician who turned numbers into $$$. 66% annualized over 40 years using algorithms that detect patterns invisible to the human eye.

**Ed Seykota** - The grandfather of automatic trading. 60% annual return for 3 decades. His obsession: managing risk as if it were precision surgery.

**Ray Dalio** - Creator of Bridgewater, the largest hedge fund on the planet. He plays long-term, thinks about global trends, donated millions because money alone is just boring.

The pattern? Everyone is obsessed with data, has an iron discipline, and zero FOMO. No gut feelings.
