As for someone who was not allowed to trade/invest in equities (because of job n insider trading laws etc)

I found many great insights in MW book, abt non equity trading

Here is 5

1. Dennis Richard, whom I consider my guru for 2 insights

A. trading has to be rule based

B. Turtle trading experiment, anyone can be excellent trader, if rules r followed with reasonable discipline

2. William Eckhardt

Backtesting insights like degree of freedom, curve fitting n pitfalls of BT

3. Paul Tudor Jones

Greatest trader alive who is still trading,

Predicted black monday n made insane money on single day

His below video is a must watch



4. Jim Rogers

He showed that commodities forex n bonds are the place to be

His books (esp hot commodities) is a must read

5. George Soros, man who broke bank of England

Soros interview is not there but u get his working from interviews of

Stanley Druckenmiller 

Druckenmiller is a legend in his own right n worth reading at many other places

Surprisingly these ppl are very open about what they do n how they do. So simple further Google search gave tons of material about them which was a goldmine.

For example, Dennis has written a book, price of pit, which I found good.

Their YouTube interviews

One thing common among them is they made major part of their wealth from commodities, forex n bonds. Which turned out to be true for me also in subsequent years :)
