7 Best Trading Movies
Every Trader Should Watch
Trading Lessons Hollywood Accidentally Got Right
Alright, it’s Christmas Eve…
And let’s be honest, right, you’ve probably got better things to do than wade through a strategy breakdown or mindset hack today…
So instead, here’s something festive:
A few of my favourite trading-related films… just in case you get a shot at the remote control later.
TRADING MOVIES
Ok, starting with my fav!
#1 Trading Places
An absolute Christmas classic. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, and a wild frozen orange juice pit.
Are you even a trader if you haven’t seen this?
“Turn those machines back on!” 
#2 Wall Street
Gordon Gekko, braces, and peak ’80s alpha energy.
“Greed is good.”
#3 The Big Short
You’ve seen this one… Christian Bale as Michael Burry, shorting the housing market with a drum kit in the background.
Fun, clever, a bit silly at times, but still one of the best.
#4 The Wolf of Wall Street
Meh… not much actual trading, but Leo’s great and Margot Robbie… 
Supplied traders with memes for a decade.
#5 Rogue Trader
Underrated gem, I love this movie.
Ewan McGregor as Nick Leeson… the man who singlehandedly brought down Barings Bank.
Pit scenes and dodgy spreadsheets, if you’re fastidious about risk (which I know you are!) This one will make you wince…
#6 Boiler Room
Ben Affleck doing his best Gekko impression.
Vin Diesel in a tie. (I don’t even think he punches anyone or drives a car in this movie…)
It won’t win any awards, but it’s still fun.
#7 Floored
Never hit cinemas, but this one’s good.
A documentary about pit traders trying to make the leap to screens… some make it, most don’t.
Some right obnoxious characters in this!… Watch below:
