Eddie Z’s dad was a floor trader at the New York Mercantile Exchange. Ever since Eddie was 7 years old, his Dad would take him to the trading floor. He loved seeing the men yelling and screaming. Any of the rules about “language” at home didn’t apply on the floor. 

When Eddie graduated high school, he got a job as a clerk on the floor. The first thing he was assigned to do was to track charts with pencil and paper. The pit trader he worked for taught Eddie how to draw point and figure charts using graph paper. He explained if he could learn to spot patterns, it becomes easy to predict what happens next. Eddie knew that’s what he wanted to do. 

After working there every summer and during breaks throughout college, he ended up working at Gruntal & Co as a stockbroker for 17 years. What does he trade? What are his strategies? Find out in this episode of How To Trade It!
