The Trading Game

Gary Stevenson grew up in an impoverished area of East London where he could hold his life's belongings in two arms. About three years after graduating from the London School of Economics, Citibank made him a millionaire at a very young age.

Gary was 'all in' on winning the trading game. But did overnight success bring him happiness? And why did he want to leave the Citibank trading floor?

Gary tells his story in his new book, The Trading Game, which I believe is this era's Liar's Poker, but with more life lessons shared in this special book. Some of the topics explored include:

• The reason why it's challenging to get a job on a trading floor
• Gary's childhood and how it influenced his drive to mastery
• The reason poor people are looked down upon by the rich
• Gary's first day on the trading floor in 2007
• Profound thoughts on the mindset of a trader
• The P&Ls of traders and how they got paid
• The meaning of negative 4.5% interest rates
• Money was never Gary's driver
• Health and mental stress in Tokyo
• Advice for kids wanting to be traders
• Gary's YouTube channel
• Return to the classics
