Paper trading is a starting point but it does not nearly compare to how your psychology works when it’s your actual money on the line, and real money to be earned.
Back when i first watched this series, it was for entertainment ... but now, im watching it as a pro, i totally understand every terms and what's on their screen
Becoming a good trader takes time and patience. When i first got into trading i was liquidated twice, and lost my entire mortgage deposit. I could have given up, but decided to learn how to trade and put it into practice. 4 years later and i am glad i made that decision.
Starting out with a with a professional that knows the ropes of the choppy but profitable market is the best way to achieve getting a well structured portfolio. That’s why I have been working with Betty Sue Blanchard ‘ and that doesn’t make me daft because in financial dealings one have to be prudent. Most traders enter exit with a quick 10% profit which is not bad in a general opinion but why not aim higher, it doesn’t necessarily mean to be greedy.

How has your trading career played out? Are you a professional trader now? I myself have started my trading journey 2 years ago and I'm looking for a quant trading job in the near future.
Im in the states and this was great. Traded professional for 3 years and now I trade my own capital. This is pretty much how trading goes. It is a cut throat business but highly rewarding. You must master economics and understand how one event can affect a certain stock or currency. Being able to adapt quickly is your only option. The series has shown very well how quick you have to be in making decisions and how you have to stand by it when putting in orders. Good stuff you all. Would love another series. I specialized in FX instruments which is alot less volatile so I have huge respect to those who trade stocks. You can not be afraid to loose. If you are afraid you will always second guess yourself and your analysis. I love seeing new traders enter the world and seeing who adapts and who does not. All of us who trade have been through the emotions and stress as a beginner
Haha! It's 2021 & Barclays bank has reduced interest rates to 0.01%. ...reduced from 0.10% they offered in 2020. I would actually be happy if the bank offered 5% instead of

Invest in a secure platform and broker where you will not lose your funds. I'm new to trading, but I met Mr. Raini Titan here on UA-cam where he teaches people to trade forex and stocks. which he guides me with a super platform and amazing strategy. I thought it was a scam, but finally I cashed my first $ 57,000 profit last week, he is very reliable and honest, he always tells me the actual time of buying and selling with 100 profit from his one-on-one master training.....Stay bless
This show literally gives me adrenaline rush every time. I, myself, is an investor in the market and I can feel everything that goes into it. No doubt about that
@@SaggersAlt Exactly, they should have daily drawdown, some market they would only trade or something, things like following trends, IT uncle just thinks he's smarter so he goes against EVERYONE, which is stupid. Also the thing Alex said he never took a lunch brake outside office is fucking mental. You plan a trade, put on it and then forget it.
@@SaggersAltI'm not entirely sure any of this is actually real. Just judging by how casual the bankroll guy is about losing money. They could easily just have their own guys on the other side of the phone calls pretending to place orders. Most prop firms these days make you prove yourself repeatedly before they give you real money to use.
After i watched this way back 2019 i looked lex van dam course on torrent and able to watch his trading course. Pretty straight forward and i was able to incorporate 1 out of 5 trading Criteria he uses
Totally enjoyed watching this couple of years back. I have said forever how I seriously wish that our public school education departments in the USA would mandate that students must have at least one semester credit of Basic Personal Finance and Economics in order to be illegible to graduate High School and receive their High School Diploma. I strongly believe that it would help by reduce the number of personal bankruptcies we see filed every year that occurs from poor money management, spending and finance choices. Students would leave high school better prepared to succeed financially by their having learned about Economic and Finance. Just my feeling on this.
Makes me feel a lot better about just trading Nasdaq 2 hours a day based on technicals only in my own home with nobody watching. I would go mad if i had to trade like these guys
Love it, this series made me start trading so far up from $1000 to $10k in 3 months with 33 Signals. Lets see if i can get to the 1million mark within 1-2 years.
One thing I learnt about trading is, if you cannot control your emotions or don’t know when to stop the bleeding, no amount of quant skills, TA, or combinations will save you.
Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol
A Series like this needs to be made to help people understand today’s market conditions. It’s amassed me the bbc or any other channel hasn’t made a type of programme like this
I just wanted to state there is nothing immoral about shortselling, it’s actually not only ethical but necessary for market efficiency and balance. It creates an incentive for companies to behave themselves because there are people looking at them scanning for real mistakes. companies that shouldn’t be there are either prevented or taken out by that. Shortselling is heroic in a way 🙃😂😄.
@@monudahake9553 turned 3k into 39 but im focusing on getting my bachelor in statistics now. I am just holding now not trading, I'll get back to it as soon as I finish my studies.
If I am correct I believe this TV show was made 15 years ago, I remember when I first watch it, and now I am watching in it with a total different angle as I have, myself, much more experience on the trading field than in 2008
Why did simon buy British Gas, while Cleo sold British Airways if they new the oil price was rising? Did they not confer or think that these two companies are both very reliant on fossil fuels, whose prices are rising?
That was simply because he bought those shares before the bad news about the middle East instability came , so he got hit really badly when it occurred , he should have closed his position as soon as he knew ;)
When their leader is talking worst trading conditions, it’s not. As a trader you track both bull and bear markets and adapt. The opportunity they had here was incredible, and they are still looking for long positions.
Saying Simon has 'sh*t for brains' is harsh. I'm going to big myself up here and say that I'm an intermediate level trader (on FOREX, not stocks); I know first hand that trading is HARD! There are technical, emotional and psychological challenges to overcome! I applaud anyone brave enough to give it a shot, especially on national TV! 🙌🏻
So far, as I learn about trading, I’ve come to find out that Alec Payden’s methods and knowledge are the reasons I’ve been able to earn. No doubt, I’m going ahead with him.
Understanding that this was some years back, It seems nobody was using any technical analysis like trend lines or moving averages and that everything was done based on the news and fundamentals? And why did they need to call a broker to place a trade? Was there no platform available then?
platform trading applies to retail brokers who are considered middlemen between you and the market, and an inferior way to trade if you're an institution, plus... i think it is a tactical thing to make trading decisions more formal than clicking buttons with no real thought behind it
@@Dimsum365 stocks, forex, indicies, commodities are all different and move differently.BANKS move the markets NOT FUNDAMENTALS lol bank volume, bank tricks, bank "news"(fundamentals) are all used to trick retail traders into thinking they know what they are doing. works everytime....
This is a really old video I watched like 13 or 15 years ago. Times have changed, now platforms offer automatic fills that bots will fill for you. Back then, computer platforms weren't that advanced yet. That's why you have the phone calls and the stamps that you have to turn into your boss, because that is how it was done back then. Nowadays, it's all automated. Everything is done via computer, and your daily reports are all automated, everything is automated now. For the comments saying that phone calls have their benefits and that's why....... I've been trading for years, it's way faster to trade with hot keys and using platforms like thinkorswim than to make phone calls lol. Anyone saying phone calls have their benefits, like they truly TRULY have noooooo idea what they are talking about lol. If you want to be a day trader, you are not making phone calls for trades. You have never day traded a single day or your life if you think their is an argument against what I'm saying. Platforms nowadays are capable of doing anything, ANYTHING someone on a phone can do, but way way way faster (which is super important, it is actually so important that you won't be able to day trade without fast order fills that platforms provide, it's impossible). Don't listen to these comments coming from people who have never traded a day of their life and are going off assumptions.
I saw a wedge drawn on one of the guys screen, don't remember where. They are prob using basic technical analysis to help find entry points. They made a point in the beginning that everyone will trade differently, and fundamental analysis is probably what most people believe to work best, so it's natural to see people trade based upon news more so than technicals.
Loved this what gets me though they seem like they are just buying and selling at will. There seems to be no form of chart knowledge or technical analysis involved
Making money is secondary goal. Catching move is primary goal. If catch the moves money comes. So don't focus on money. Focus on catching moves. If you do opposite you loose. You have to understand market on your level of understanding. First step is observation. Observe and research until now question left in your mind about market. It took year or less then year. Depend on your power of understanding. In that time of period don't take trade. Do trading in mind. Trading is like loving someone. You have to give time that relationship. So you can understand your partner.
@@ageofechochambers9469 No this is wrong advice. Many people who go into the stock market do it to get rich quick and end up losing everything. The people who have their mental health in jeopardy are those that treat the market as a casino. I’m full time licensed trader and I’m having the time of my life. If you want to take the stock market or any other market seriously, the first step is education and control of your emotions.
@@Steves_fish Oooh. Not sure so sure on the sitting tight bit mate. If I’m wrong, I’ll cut. I’ll never sit on a losing trade. Interesting stat: over 90% of the companies listed on S&P 500 are no longer in existence. So ‘sitting tight’ in hope it’ll recover didn’t work for the majority. But I wish you well in how you trade. You sound successful in your comments.

Trading is fun and is like a game but in reality it produces nothing in reality. Maybe you will win and make money but the businesses you trade are the ones producing things and the economy relies on them. People always act like being a good trader is so admirable. I can tell you it’s just a game and kind of leaves you feeling empty.

Very true, people downplay advisors role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, my stagnant reserve of $225K has yielded nearly $1m after subsequent investments so far
Been trading for 3 weeks now, In the most volatile market. It's alot of fun, and i've learned that you need to control your emotions and use all the information given over the internet! Volume volume volume.

The series has shown very well how quick you have to be in making decisions and how you have to stand by it when putting in orders. Good stuff you all. Would love another series. I specialized in FX instruments which is alot less volatile so I have huge respect to those who trade stocks. You can not be afraid to loose. If you are afraid you will always second guess yourself and your analysis. I love seeing new traders enter the world and seeing who adapts and who does not. All of us who trade have been through the emotions and stress as a beginner
" The money might as well be in the bamk earning 5%". LMFAO
If only!
Probably better than -5 imo

I watched this series 5 years ago when I started trading. It's insane how much they have to learn (or rather how much what not to learn) in just a few weeks.

I lost count as to how many times I watched those series, and still find it fascinating.
I truly wish Lex will do another series like this in the near future.😍❤️
Let’s do it!
Invest in a secure platform and broker where you will not lose your funds. I'm new to trading, but I met Mr. Raini Titan here on UA-cam where he teaches people to trade forex and stocks. which he guides me with a super platform and amazing strategy. I thought it was a scam, but finally I cashed my first $ 57,000 profit last week, he is very reliable and honest, he always tells me the actual time of buying and selling with 100 profit from his one-on-one master training.....Stay bless

me too!

I really would love to see a second season with a new set of contestants.
This show literally gives me adrenaline rush every time. I, myself, is an investor in the market and I can feel everything that goes into it. No doubt about that
I'm a trader and all I see is sheer stupidity. Working with this much money is a terrible idea for all of them and should be on sim accounts instead
But where would be the fun of watching that?
It’s helped me know the best way to trade
@@SaggersAlt Exactly, they should have daily drawdown, some market they would only trade or something, things like following trends, IT uncle just thinks he's smarter so he goes against EVERYONE, which is stupid. Also the thing Alex said he never took a lunch brake outside office is fucking mental. You plan a trade, put on it and then forget it.
@@SaggersAltI'm not entirely sure any of this is actually real. Just judging by how casual the bankroll guy is about losing money. They could easily just have their own guys on the other side of the phone calls pretending to place orders. Most prop firms these days make you prove yourself repeatedly before they give you real money to use.
After i watched this way back 2019 i looked lex van dam course on torrent and able to watch his trading course. Pretty straight forward and i was able to incorporate 1 out of 5 trading Criteria he uses
If people arn't doing their due diligence properly then its a reflection on the training and guidance they have been given ...
"one's got shit for brains and the other one's crying"- lex :) fav part of the episode
This is the show that needs more airtime!
I really enjoyed this series. Hasn't been anything like it about trading for 10 years
Totally enjoyed watching this couple of years back. I have said forever how I seriously wish that our public school education departments in the USA would mandate that students must have at least one semester credit of Basic Personal Finance and Economics in order to be illegible to graduate High School and receive their High School Diploma. I strongly believe that it would help by reduce the number of personal bankruptcies we see filed every year that occurs from poor money management, spending and finance choices. Students would leave high school better prepared to succeed financially by their having learned about Economic and Finance. Just my feeling on this.
I think you just answered the question as to why they don't. How can one control individuals who don't require debt?
Oh they are starting to now, my friend teaches that class as he has an MBA. Prob is, the kids are extremely rude and he says most don't seem yo care.
Makes me feel a lot better about just trading Nasdaq 2 hours a day based on technicals only in my own home with nobody watching. I would go mad if i had to trade like these guys
Love it, this series made me start trading so far up from $1000 to $10k in 3 months with 33 Signals. Lets see if i can get to the 1million mark within 1-2 years.
all the best hopefully i catch on to it soon
How far mate?
Great show. People that have no trading experience, cannot understand the stress. In this series, people are collapsing under pressure!
Seriously underrated show.
Thanks Taylor!
@@lexvandamofficial give me a chance and you won't regret about it........!
These the best interviews I rather watch these daily then normal TV
When he said "The big firms get their pound of flesh" I felt that.
One thing I learnt about trading is, if you cannot control your emotions or don’t know when to stop the bleeding, no amount of quant skills, TA, or combinations will save you.
It reminded me my start. I have to say that trading destroyed me and built a new person. Stronger than ever.
I remember this programme! It actually inspired me to break away from the dreadful low paid job I was working in at the time.
Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol
47:15 ”one has shit for brains and the other is crying for 1.5 hours” great idea having the blunt boss as a character over the phone 😅
I'd love to see another series of this.
A Series like this needs to be made to help people understand today’s market conditions. It’s amassed me the bbc or any other channel hasn’t made a type of programme like this
Mike trades like he's calling in fire support, what a boss (despite the loss).
2023 and markets are crashing and wars are taking place history repeats its self yet again. Love the show.
I just wanted to state there is nothing immoral about shortselling, it’s actually not only ethical but necessary for market efficiency and balance. It creates an incentive for companies to behave themselves because there are people looking at them scanning for real mistakes. companies that shouldn’t be there are either prevented or taken out by that. Shortselling is heroic in a way 🙃😂😄.
"Who can cry for an hour and a half?" hahah!! Now I'm crying! Dude I cried in anger when I lost my first 5K. So, I get it...
As an 18 year old trader this keeps me motivated, nice content.
How’s the equity curve going lad?
know you are sucesful trader or not..
@@monudahake9553 turned 3k into 39 but im focusing on getting my bachelor in statistics now. I am just holding now not trading, I'll get back to it as soon as I finish my studies.
If I am correct I believe this TV show was made 15 years ago, I remember when I first watch it, and now I am watching in it with a total different angle as I have, myself, much more experience on the trading field than in 2008
Why did simon buy British Gas, while Cleo sold British Airways if they new the oil price was rising? Did they not confer or think that these two companies are both very reliant on fossil fuels, whose prices are rising?
Cleo was right. She made money on that trade.
That was simply because he bought those shares before the bad news about the middle East instability came , so he got hit really badly when it occurred , he should have closed his position as soon as he knew ;)
He wasn’t acting
like part of a team
Simon has shit for brains
Hedging mate
what a pleasure to see a new video on your channel cmon, man, make more videos please
"May as well leave it in the bank with a 5% interest rate..." - He had no idea 2020 would have a 0.10% interest rate
my account's on 3.5%
@@AdrianDucao A US bank? Which, if I may ask?
@@nestorf.6024 i do banking on offshore accounts
Yeah same 0.10 percent 😅
@@AdrianDucao Still better to leave in an s&p 500 etf/index fund
When their leader is talking worst trading conditions, it’s not. As a trader you track both bull and bear markets and adapt. The opportunity they had here was incredible, and they are still looking for long positions.
"iam a perfectionist you know" aka "iam not secure enough to finish what i start"
This is me lmao 😢
control the emotions. keep to you rules that are working for you ... know market pyschology ... symmetry ... cut quick ... base hits ... there you go!
Saying Simon has 'sh*t for brains' is harsh. I'm going to big myself up here and say that I'm an intermediate level trader (on FOREX, not stocks); I know first hand that trading is HARD! There are technical, emotional and psychological challenges to overcome! I applaud anyone brave enough to give it a shot, especially on national TV! 🙌🏻
Being called ‘sh*t for brains’ shouldn’t phase you then. 🤷♂️
❤.. yes I agree. Many traders, even the best have become flustered. Very harsh and disgraceful to say that about someone.
I don’t think we appreciate the fact that their trading right at the start of THE 2008 recession. Very very very difficult market conditions to trade.
What goes up comes down
Welll... Just short everything 😂
If there is volatility, there is the opportunity to make money.
this is so cool, watching other peoples emotions in play, stock market shows you alot about yourself then anything i can think of
So far, as I learn about trading, I’ve come to find out that Alec Payden’s methods and knowledge are the reasons I’ve been able to earn. No doubt, I’m going ahead with him.
mate, just. bloody put in 2.5k in michelin, 1k in bayer ag and another 1k quit in bloody byd option, with 5:1 leverage, mate. keep the change. cheers
Understanding that this was some years back, It seems nobody was using any technical analysis like trend lines or moving averages and that everything was done based on the news and fundamentals? And why did they need to call a broker to place a trade? Was there no platform available then?
platform trading applies to retail brokers who are considered middlemen between you and the market, and an inferior way to trade if you're an institution, plus... i think it is a tactical thing to make trading decisions more formal than clicking buttons with no real thought behind it
but the psychology doesn't change. and the emotion and risk management. Its a benefit to see how untrained eyes and minds view the market.
@@Dimsum365 stocks, forex, indicies, commodities are all different and move differently.BANKS move the markets NOT FUNDAMENTALS lol bank volume, bank tricks, bank "news"(fundamentals) are all used to trick retail traders into thinking they know what they are doing.
works everytime....
This is a really old video I watched like 13 or 15 years ago. Times have changed, now platforms offer automatic fills that bots will fill for you. Back then, computer platforms weren't that advanced yet. That's why you have the phone calls and the stamps that you have to turn into your boss, because that is how it was done back then. Nowadays, it's all automated. Everything is done via computer, and your daily reports are all automated, everything is automated now.
For the comments saying that phone calls have their benefits and that's why....... I've been trading for years, it's way faster to trade with hot keys and using platforms like thinkorswim than to make phone calls lol. Anyone saying phone calls have their benefits, like they truly TRULY have noooooo idea what they are talking about lol. If you want to be a day trader, you are not making phone calls for trades. You have never day traded a single day or your life if you think their is an argument against what I'm saying. Platforms nowadays are capable of doing anything, ANYTHING someone on a phone can do, but way way way faster (which is super important, it is actually so important that you won't be able to day trade without fast order fills that platforms provide, it's impossible). Don't listen to these comments coming from people who have never traded a day of their life and are going off assumptions.
I saw a wedge drawn on one of the guys screen, don't remember where. They are prob using basic technical analysis to help find entry points. They made a point in the beginning that everyone will trade differently, and fundamental analysis is probably what most people believe to work best, so it's natural to see people trade based upon news more so than technicals.
amazing and i will like to help people to understand the their value.
Loved this what gets me though they seem like they are just buying and selling at will. There seems to be no form of chart knowledge or technical analysis involved
Making money is secondary goal. Catching move is primary goal. If catch the moves money comes. So don't focus on money. Focus on catching moves. If you do opposite you loose. You have to understand market on your level of understanding. First step is observation. Observe and research until now question left in your mind about market. It took year or less then year. Depend on your power of understanding. In that time of period don't take trade. Do trading in mind. Trading is like loving someone. You have to give time that relationship. So you can understand your partner.
I’m not usually into stuff like this but it was fascinating to watch how people cope under pressure. I’d love to see how I would get on.
Don't, never go near this world if you value your mental health and financial wealth.
@@ageofechochambers9469
You sound defeated. I guess you should adhere to your own words, you’ll be correct.
@@ageofechochambers9469 No this is wrong advice. Many people who go into the stock market do it to get rich quick and end up losing everything. The people who have their mental health in jeopardy are those that treat the market as a casino. I’m full time licensed trader and I’m having the time of my life. If you want to take the stock market or any other market seriously, the first step is education and control of your emotions.
@@Steves_fish
You sound like you would make a good trader. 👍. Too many fail due to emotions and attachment.
@@Steves_fish
Oooh. Not sure so sure on the sitting tight bit mate. If I’m wrong, I’ll cut. I’ll never sit on a losing trade.
Interesting stat: over 90% of the companies listed on S&P 500 are no longer in existence. So ‘sitting tight’ in hope it’ll recover didn’t work for the majority. But I wish you well in how you trade. You sound successful in your comments.
90% emotional control, 10% technical…u win big

@44:14 Ive made a fundamental mistake.... oh Simon!
@58:50 I've made a small mistake 😲
amazing and i will help more people to understant the real value of themself
You need guys like these to keep the quants rich and entertained.
Trading is fun and is like a game but in reality it produces nothing in reality. Maybe you will win and make money but the businesses you trade are the ones producing things and the economy relies on them. People always act like being a good trader is so admirable. I can tell you it’s just a game and kind of leaves you feeling empty.
Facts , that’s why gotta be honest with yourself and find something beside that’s fulfilling , you cannot just trade
found this to be the best doc about trading in general It's the emotional landscape that kills you.

They should get all the internet day traders together and make a week long trading special like this.
We're working on the idea! Stay tuned
i recently got the opportunity to take part in a similar experiment with a team of strangers ive never met before.

its incredible where the process can take us :-)

I remember walking up Box Hill years ago, just plodding on, and then looking back behind me and being startled at how high I'd climbed ... I've been trading for less than a year, but (re)watching this now it feels like I've travelled a million miles from where I was. Okay, this was pre-crypto, and things have moved on immensely since this was made, but still. Love it:)
The steps on box Hill are big too.

Fuck banks. They're never getting my money!
Yea... thats kinda weird.. tbh, the first year you are just learning. As a trader myself its not easy
No technical analysis just randomly buying and selling this is pure gambling not trading.
This is what i needed to watch as a Forex Trader
WOW im in chock on how these people made decisions. I guess they were extremely good at selling themselves at the interviews.

Thry were the best candidates available on the day. Let wanted people from.all walks of life. Remember this is a tv series and needs to appeal to a broad audience.
That citigroup trade is textbook baptism by fire 🔥 trade for a typical retail trader.
Trading is a hard way to make easy money.
If it was easy, everyone would be rich.
It's easy once you get the hang of it tbh.... But for absolute noobs, it will be rough
@@Ijaf98 No it is not. Find me a professional trader who has a hang of it and thinks it's easy. When you work at a Hedge Fund or a massive Investment Bank and trade millions of pounds every day, it is never easy.
@@Ijaf98 Spoken like an absolute noob
@@ZygimantasA yeah markets are unpredictable, but the better you are and the more experience ypu have you can understand your markets a bit more but yeah, he's not right all traders find it hard
@@ZygimantasA What about retail traders? Since they are not working for a massive investment bank, do u think it would be easier for them after getting the hang of it?
i learn quickly due to watching videos and many loss came to conclusion it is just lines and know who is making money as option buyer and it is also game of premium
Wasn't expecting Anton Kriel, nice!
Very true, people downplay advisors role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, my stagnant reserve of $225K has yielded nearly $1m after subsequent investments so far
