Floored, the movie

seriously..what the fuck. nobody has said anything about this movie. I know it hasn't been fully released yet, but you can view the preview of the episodes here. I definitely will purchase it once it's released on June 15th.

I find the characters amusing. One dude (who traded currency) fucked up his account by letting the losses mount, and now now working as a clerk. Sound familiar? One dude who was drunk while giving the interview just reiterated the fact to 'let the winners' ride.

I think a lot better documentary than the wall street warriors or the millionaire traders.

So enjoy and comment!

Thanks Hilmy,

I just watched through episode 4..... at the very end , the drunk guy......oh that's guy you were talking about...... did you notice,

Yeah he was drunk, and he obviously has made a lot of money.

But the interviewer was typical. No matter much he made, the interviewer wanted to know, "Do you trade now, do you still trade"??

"CUT"

End of interview.

Why ?? I believe it is because the interviewer blew it. No matter how much you make, now it's about, "What have you made lately". Typical.

"Cut"
*******************

The dumba$$ couldn't ask how he did it, or what he went through ?? Nope. Typical.

But you're quite right, better than millionaire traders. It's actually real. And actually matters.

Agreed. I thought this was an awesome look into the lives of the men and women in the pit, adaptation or lack thereof, and moving forward in either case.

The drunk guy, IMO, was the realest one out of the lot. I would love to dig into his mind just to hear everything we all already know.

And Walsh, 2 and half million in 5 days....dayum. I can't wait until the day that I'm able to say anything even close to that!
I dream, therefore I become.

I see that these traders love their cigars :-P

I guess real trading is stressful. If you are not stressful after a trading session (whether it be intraday or longer), i guess you haven't even begun to trade. I remember reading from Paul Jones that you got to put on a size that when it goes against you it 'hurts'. Now we're reading about 1-2% position size and 'stress free' trading.


good run?!? fuck you motherfucker. a run is when you go to work every day and get paid

everytime i go to work it's like going to the mines.....fucking people. lol

love that guy too.

Yup when Paul was talking about people managing money... he said he wants the guy that feels some pain.. but not too much.

The website says:

Agreed - I gotta get this....
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

Yep, it's on my list of must see/need.

Great video but very depressing. All those decades worth of experience and money making and the majority of traders introduced in this movie is broke.

I guess I'm ahead of the pack, I tuck away a lot of profit and do not splurg on any high ticket item.

All in all, very insightful movie.

Hmm I'm wondering how much more there is... Looked up some reviews of it and all of them post the runtime @ around 74 minutes. Would be odd if reviewers didn't get full version.

The episodes available amount to over 80 minutes.

Well if the review runtimes listed are accurate(they range from 74-78 minutes) then I don't see why they would of added more content. If you look back through the blog you can see they started premiering the movie in September 2009. So unless they gathered up the people for more interviews, etc I think thats about all there is.

PS Darkstar you can't waste time watching videos when you have a book to write!

Good eye brother. I hadn't looked at the videos section. The idea of giving the movie away free when they are planning on selling it next month somehow escaped my expectation...

Way too bitter.. especially as alot of those guys fail to even have a profitable year. And he had 16 profitable years. If I was him I'd just say f it and get over it. Things change... it's like people who would refuse to stop eating meat if all the animals suddenly disappeared and just slowly starve to death.

Hopefully during those 16 years he saved up money...

But yeah I think his last comment is interesting "the computer boys got their revenge"

I can bet he wouldn't have been rallying to equalize things when the majority of trading took place on the floor.
