Found something old but gold.
In 1997 my family travelled to Chicago to attend a trader's conference.
"Samurai Trader's Symposium".
It was hosted by the author of the book "Zen in the Markets: Confessions of a Samurai Trader" by the late Edward Allen Toppel.

The book is mostly about Trading Psychology, which had a big impact on my dad's trading when he first started out. The Author, Eddie as we called him, was a top trader on the Chicago exchange at the time. He became a close friend to our family.
He was amazed at how his book could have such a profound impact on someone. But this was a time when knowledge wasn't in abundance like today. He himself found it tough at times to follow his own rules, but this is because markets can be tough at times & our ego gets in the way.
Above are few snippets to have an idea how things were back then. It wasn't a commercial event.
Had few pics with Eddie but unfortunately couldn't find them for now. Perhaps i stumble upon them in the future. Till then here's a pic of me with my dad during that trip.
