Notes

It is a vivid, rags-to-riches memoir by Gary Stevenson, a former Citibank trader who became the bank’s most profitable trader.
It chronicles Stevenson’s journey from the streets of East London to the high-stakes world of Citibank’s trading floor, where he made nearly a trillion dollars a day in trades.
It explores the moral complexities and psychological toll of working in finance, highlighting the conflicts between personal success and broader societal impacts.
It includes a detailed account of how Stevenson won a competition at the London School of Economics, which led to his entry into the world of trading.
It reveals the darker side of trading, where the pursuit of wealth can lead to ethical dilemmas, personal crises, and an unsustainable lifestyle.
It is praised for its dark humor and unvarnished look at the realities of trading, drawing comparisons to works like Liar's Poker and The Wolf of Wall Street【7†source】.* It is set to be developed into a limited series, emphasizing its engaging narrative and broader cultural relevance.* It touches on Stevenson’s decision to leave trading behind, motivated by his growing discomfort with the industry’s impact on global inequality.* It also delves into Stevenson’s life after trading, where he became an advocate for economic reform and public education on financial matters.
