Synopsis

The Trading Game is Gary Stevenson’s account of how he achieved his dream, becoming Citibank’s most profitable trader, and how it made him angry, dejected and ill.

Ever since he was a kid, kicking broken footballs on East London’s backstreets, Gary wanted something bigger. Then he won a competition run by a bank: ‘The Trading Game’. The prize: a golden ticket to a new life. But what happens when winning starts to feel like losing? Would you stick, or quit? Even if it meant risking everything?

This is an outrageous, white-knuckle journey to the dark heart of the financial world.
