Traders Millions By The Minute: A two part documentary series made by the BBC, which goes inside the fast and fiercely competitive world of financial traders to meet the men and women who play the markets in London, New York, Chicago and Amsterdam.
Part 1. Showing examples of Pro Traders working from their fancy offices in The City, London, Floor Traders in Chicago's Mercantile Exchange (which looked more like feeding time at the zoo) and a hedge Fund manager from New York. Watching them place trades, winners and losers. and how they cope with a losing trade.

Part 2. Concentrates on the ever growing Retail Trade sector visiting the "work from home" traders. Some successful some down right "cringe worthy" like the example of the man who was $10 in "profit" after trading for 7 years and still believed his future financial security lay with Trading, HUH???

These are not in depth reviews of trading, they do not reveal the "secrets" of the successful trade but they do provide a useful insight into the world of trading unlike the fictitious Hollywood offerings that we have all seen. And if you listen very carefully you will discover some sensible advice dropped in here and there by the more successful participants.

For those of you who have been trading for a while, this should make you smile, laugh and cringe, for those of you new to trading, this should make you think very carefully about the direction you are taking and how you go about it, before you lose too much money.

Here is a link to a site where you can either stream to your computer or download for viewing later.
Well worth a look.

so it wasn't only me to dislike the show.
now the problem is that bbc is doing a tremendous job in creating this impression that traders (some are bloody investors, that make 3.1%/year) are a crowd of gamblers that will put society at risk for some grands per day.
i don't know how you had the endurance to watch the whole production.
when the 2nd episode showed an honest british mom trading a demo-account and wondering if the money were real, i felt the urge to call my drug dealer. i took a walk instead.
fuck bbc! (when it comes to trading/markets, etc).
they are a disgrace, nonchalant socialist propaganda newsmakers.

anyway, for who's interested, during the 1st ep, there's a ny hedge-fund manager and a hft company owner from Netherlands. then there's a bullshit marketing company that looks to be more concerned to train people than to trade. the rest is garbaj. i don't know about the 2nd ep (it was way too much). these fuckers should make a show for the brit tax-payer (paying through the nose for bbc) explaining that this is the fucking world, this is the fucking economy, this is how things work = markets, government/institutions & humans that (mis)allocate capital in order to preserve capital (making a profit is fine nevertheless). but no, they would rather show some creepy sociopaths that wake up to make some 1400 until afternoon. useless to mention that none of these featured traders were rich, important, a game maker.

best tr doc: trader 1987 - paul tudor jones.

I enjoyed both parts, especially part 2 retail traders. Showed exactly where different traders are in their progression
from pure amateurs, hobbyists to professional traders.
There are some lessons to be learnt in this episode.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Thanks, I was not aware of that one.
I have not watched it yet, but this is what the Telegraph said about it.

Trading is Hard? It would have been for these poor souls, "2 weeks intensive training" would really have prepared them well. Filmed in 2008 just as the crisis hit the accelerator.
