Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street’s Champion Day Trader

Learn How a Champion Thinks, Trades, and Wins—From the Man Who Did It

Step into the mind of Martin “Buzzy” Schwartz—legendary Wall Street trader and champion day trader—through his raw, personal, and inspiring story. Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street’s Champion Day Trader isn’t your average trading guide. It’s a candid journey that pulls back the curtain on what it takes to conquer the markets, build wealth from scratch, and maintain your edge through mental toughness and relentless discipline.

Buzzy chronicles his transformation from an analyst stuck in a dead-end job to a self-made millionaire who made his fortune not by playing it safe, but by betting big, failing fast, and coming back stronger. With vivid storytelling, the book dives deep into the realities of trading on the American Stock Exchange floor, how to survive massive losses, and most importantly—how to win.

Packed with war stories, trading rules, and psychological insights, this book goes beyond charts and patterns. It teaches the mental game of trading—the instincts, confidence, and resilience that separate amateurs from champions.

Whether you’re a beginner hungry for real-world insights or an experienced trader looking for motivation and strategy refinement, Pit Bull is a must-read classic in trading literature.
