Million Dollar Traders - Part 2 | British reality TV Series & Course created by Lex van Dam

Learn how to trade and join other graduates of the "Million Dollar Traders" Course! Head over to milliondollart...
Savvy investors know that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest!
More about the TV Series and our online course training:
'Million Dollar Traders' was a British reality television series created by a hedge fund manager Lex van Dam (milliondollart...)
Eight ordinary people are given a million dollars, a fortnight of intensive training and two months to run their own hedge fund. Can they make a killing?
The experiment reveals the inner workings of a City trading floor. The money is supplied by hedge fund manager Lex van Dam: he wants to see if ordinary people can beat the professionals, and he expects a return on his investment too. Yet no-one foresees the financial crisis that lies ahead.
The traders were selected in spring 2008, before the US credit crisis gathered pace. The successful candidates were chosen, trained and dispatched to their specially created trading room in the heart of the Square Mile. Among them are an environmentalist, a soldier, a boxing promoter, an entrepreneur, a retired IT consultant, a vet, a student and a shopkeeper.
The eight novice city traders struggle to ride the storm as stock markets around the world go haywire. Some of them take big risks, and others lose their nerve in spectacular fashion.
As you progress through the course you will gain a better understanding of how professional investors like Lex approach the markets and begin to develop your own style of trading using his framework. Crucially you will be equipped to recognize and adapt when market conditions change, and take advantage of trading opportunities that other strategies cannot possibly prepare you for. By the end of the course you will be fully prepared to invest on a personal basis or pursue a career as a professional trader.

[@elastronaute1198]

But I think he was trying to sell his course. He offers for sale the same course that these traders apparently went through. And they did beat the market. They lost less as a unit during the period of this show than the average professional trader, so while they still lost, during this very difficult and tumultuous period they still technically outperformed most professionals. So I guess his course kind of got the publicity it needed. Obviously trading is a very difficult discipline. I think in a way, he probably hoped that taking non-traders might be easier than attempting to train traders that already have so many bad habits, nuances and biases.

[@Siegefya]

SAME...that stinging feeling inside brought me back to 2017-2020...I did nothing but get my ass handed to me for years trading...wasn't until more recently did I start having green weeks, months and years...on track for my third straight green year and no red months...just red days and a few red weeks this year. It's hard af and it takes a long time...took me a long time. Tbh it's not worth doing unless you are really into it, because if you aren't one of those rare people who are pretty good fairly quickly...you are gonna have a very hard time and you'll have to grind, and it's fvcking painful...only thing that will get you through the pain, is having a real zeal and passion for the markets...and good money management skills. Some people get into this, think they really want to do it...experience that pain, and then they give up. It's not nice constantly getting your ass handed to you by the markets....but since I dealt with it so long I don't even got bothered by losses anymore, cruise through them and look for the next play.

Not sure how people can say Cleo is awful. She makes a pretty valid point as to why she isn't trading lol. This show was filmed during the worst crash sense the great depression. Just about everyone was affected in a really negative way during this time, everyone got hit by the crash pretty harshly. Her point she keeps trying to make to the boss is that she is finding it hard to trade during this time, which she is right. Only the best of the best that really knew their shit would be able to profit during the crash, which is like less than 5%, probably much lower... You have to be a pro to make $ in the market during this time, period. She realized this and that is why she was playing super passive. Then she has everyone telling her to trade and forcing her to trade, which is a recipe for disaster when you start to get emotionally involved in your trades. It's not her fault, she was doing the smart thing and being super careful in a very bad market. The reason the boss was being so dumb and forcing them to trade is because THIS IS A SHOW, and he is basically forced to be dumb so the show would be a hit and he would make his $ from it. If anyone truly things Cleo is awful, you are an idiot and would of done no better than her. I've been trading the market for years, it isn't easy to just pick it up and start profiting. If you are a beginner and decide to jump into the market during a market crash lol, yeah good luck with that.

If you're watching the price action, going, "Oh no, it's going down. Should I sell now?" that's a huge red flag. You should know exactly where and why you're exiting a trade before you even enter the trade. Take all human element out of it or else you're basically just going off gut instinct, which mostly runs on fear and doubt.

As far as investing goes, just buying every company that you like is actually the best thing you can do. Randomness wins in equities investing.

[@skliu]

I have a really dumb question, why didn't they just simply do the reverse of every position simon put it on? Like tell the broker to do exactly opposite of what simon wants to do.

[@arthursandomine5464]

Yeah! I thought about that as well. I’m guessing it’s out of respect for Simon that Anton didn’t say that, but one of the other traders could have done it!? Maybe it’s a unspoken rule or something?

[@BrandonBarbera]

Exactly what I thought

[@su1eman282]

you dont just countertrade everything blindly. hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20

[@Monty-Rose]

skliu 😂😂😂😂this got me

[@weepingangel6805]

Most retail brokers do this, as 75%+ of traders lose money. So a lot of retail brokers will just do the opposite trade of all their clients and they will win 75% of the time.

[@thrivinglife995]

So much better and less stressful to just trade technical analysis at the comfort of your own home, remotely, any time, without a suit, following a rule based strategy and risk management... Much less stress, uncertainty and consistent opportunities, never had to rely on fundamentals. But if it works with fundamentals, absolutely!

[@lexvandamofficial]

Fundamentals are important, but we also like technicals as many people do. A combination of both is best, in our experience

This should be an advert for anyone wanting to be a trader. Don't day trade, and keep emotions out of it entirely.

[@jamesmiddleton8335]

The dude talking about the morality of what they're doing just should nt be in trading, you are there for money. Not for saving the world. You don't think of the victims you think of the profit.

[@CHURCHISAWESUM]

Trading is a morally neutral activity. Especially day trading like this. You're not producing, they are. Day Trading is betting on price movements and investing client money is acting in the best interest of clients (at least they're supposed to), you're a services employee not a global influencer. Trading isn't any more moral or immoral than taking out a loan for a house. It's a purely financial decision. And putting your clients ahead of lofty college idealism is no more moral or immoral than a mother bear killing something that gets too close to its cubs. It's just instincts and human nature in practice. And every trade is a voluntary transaction by 2 parties who both believe they benefit. Any attempt to be more ethical than that is just hubris thinking that you know what's best for everyone more than they do.

[@BrandonBarbera]

The only victims are other traders, there is no such thing as ethical trading its bs leftist crap.

[@adamu1978]

@@CHURCHISAWESUM It's not a question of morality. There's no such thing as morality. But it is a question of ethics. Ethics is a dynamic set of criteria that we apply to changing situations in order to act in a way to do the least amount of harm. Ethics in trading implies refraining from taking the naive view that the decisions an individual makes have no effect or consequences on the world around them. Investing, no matter the duration, in munitions companies is unethical. They provide the weapons infrastructure for governments to enforce illegal foreign policies around the world. It doesn't get any more clear than that.

[@John-qi9cj]

Moralizing is for narcissists

[@JamieLannyster]

It's funny but he ended up being right, a lot of companies are moving to "ESG" investments. Basically a lot of big banks won't lend or invest in fossil fuels especially fracking. but not investing in fracking ends up supporting middle eastern countries who aren't the biggest fans of the gays.
