I enjoyed it, but I would have liked it much more if they were trading more technically fromt he charts rather than analysing news stories, and on US stocks / forex rather than mainly UK shares
I agree - I think I only saw a couple of charts on screen throughout the whole of the programme! Just seemed a load of guess work to me! That old bloke was a t**t though wasnt he?

Yes...although he has the exact same voice as that guy from 'peep show'.....David Mitchel

My criticism of the show is that the trainees didn't appear to have been given proper training.
It's one thing to be undermined by your own emotions and psychological approach when you know what you're doing. But the trainees do not appear to have been given a clear methodology, so it wasn't too surprising that they resembled headless chickens!
A comparison has been made with the Turtles, but as understand it, the Turtles were given very clear instructions on exactly when to enter and exit a trade.

what a load of crap!
put a load of newbies in a room and don't tell them anything and then get angry because they don't have any open positions just for the sake of it. Must be just like the turtles (NOT)

It's exactly what I would have expected from new traders starting out:
They are all randomly punting the market, struggling to deal with their emotions and believe that trading is a game of being right. It will be interesting to see how their mentality changes as they become more experienced.
The old guy won't learn and I can't see him making the cut ever - he just has the wrong attitude. As Lex said on the phone, "Anyone who says buy when they mean sell has sh1t for brains" - wonderful!
enviro guy - wtf, "only buy"
Indeed.
But where would a reality TV programme be without a car crash or two?
