If you’ve somehow managed to not learn about Mark D. Cook by now: he is a ‘Trading Wizard’ featured in Schwager’s series of books, a legendary futures trader and the winner of the 1992 U.S. Investment Championship (with a 563.8% return). His most famous contribution to trading and technical analysis is his self named, Cook Cumulative Tick Indicator.

Mark D. Cook first won fame as a trader in 1989 when he finished second in the US Investing Championship. By 1992, he had shifted to options and racked up large three-digit percentage returns en route to winning the championship. Since then, he's turned to the Standard & Poor's 500 index and Nasdaq for daytrading, while keeping the options and stocks for intermediate- and longer-term trading. Nowadays, he's in the market to pay for his Ohio farm and his company's operating expenses, not to mention room and board.
