What are people without art? Since the creation of the world we, the humans have been inspired by all kinds of art. I have been inspired many times by books and movies about the financial world and traders. This is why i have decided to put together a list of my favorite (as it turns out 16) films about trading, finance, financial markets, crashes, motivation, inspiration, greed, fear and any other emotion that comes in this profession.

Some are TV Episodes, some are short documentaries, there are also featured movies but all in all i think you will enjoy pretty much all of them.

Following 11+ years of trading experience, trading my own accounts as well as for hedge funds and brokerages, I have decided to fulfill my destiny and to personally mentor Forex and Commodities traders. When I released the “Broker Nightmare” (software that hides trades from brokers) 8 years ago, I found an overwhelming number of frustrated people who genuinely wanted to learn how to trade the Forex market, but instead found themselves scammed and misled. Over the years I have also release other trading systems based on my trading strategies, and met a lot of people on my worldwide Forex seminars. We’ve formed a close Forex community and we meet once or twice a year in various locations in Europe.
