"To some it's a game. To others it's a habit. But to Dan Mahowny -- beating the odds is everything."
A great movie for traders is
Owning Mahowny
It's a great story about an out of control gambler, and it's difficult to believe the story is true. Whenever I think of Nick Leeson's mistakes, I am reminded of how similar his actions and responses are to an addicted gambler like Mahowny. This movie gives one a reminder about how easily one can slip into an addiction driven frenzy where emotions and random rewards drive your {trading} decisions.
--------------------
I second the recommendation for "Touching the Void," especially if you're into outdoors/adventure. It's another true story that's almost impossible to believe. A great story of how to succeed in the face of truly overwhelming odds through perseverance. It also shows how important it is to take advantage of every little gift that luck gives you.
I'm doubling size because I can just feel I'm gonna break even on the next trade,
