One of the surest way to learn something in the modern world is from the screen of one’s TV. News, talk shows, interviews. All of that is unlimited in the number and through internet is available 24/7 to everyone. But, as weird as that may seem, movies can be educational as well. Movies can also be quite an influential tool at this time. That is why a lot of people do not turn to books or special programs when they want to submerge into the fascinatingly difficult world of trading. They want to see right there in from of their eyes. So, here is the list of the best movies about trading there are to this day.

Wall Street. This movie has already become classic. Released in 1987 it is telling a story of a young broker who only starts learning about the world of trading. The movie masterfully tells the story of trading world along with rising the questions of morality and legality of the actions. Human nature intervened with the world of trading – perfect movie for those who want to get a lot of interesting action and have some food for the thought as well.

Boiler room. Although known for his comedic talent, Giovanni Ribisi brought depth to his character in this movie. Spectators together with the characters of the film learn a lot about the consequence of one wrong action. Put in front of the seductively big amount of money – who of us wouldn’t take a chance to have it all? This movie shows the insides of the trading world.

Margin Call. 2008 financial crisis is still looming over our heads, 10 years later. And we all still remember how crazy it was out there in 2008. Margin Call tells a story of several bank workers who saw the storm coming as they realized they could do absolutely nothing with the approaching catastrophe. Put in the crisis situation not a lot of people would find themselves into throughout their entire life, the situation is very relatable to many of us.

The big short. But if you really want to understand what happened back in 2008 The Big Short is the movie for you. This relatively new flick is based on a real story of people who foresaw the bubble bursting and taking stock and equity market sown for years to come. Fast narration along with the hard to swallow story this is the movie for real traders who will not get lost in all of the terminology. Although by the end of the movie every spectator will have a basic understanding of the trading world and how it is influential for the rest of the world.

Wolf of Wall Street. This movie is already becoming a classic for traders. Based on the recently happened story of a very real trader Jordan Belfort it is a story of a dream, professionalism and embezzlement. Looking at the life choices it is hard to believe that the story really took place, but every bit of it is true. Leonardo DiCaprio was excellent in his portrayal of the main character and the world of trading shown in the movie attracts with the glamour and noise.

These are only top-5 trading movies in our opinion. Watching all of them will not give a true picture of a trading world, but it will help understand how things work behind the glamour of the stocks exchanges. Interesting world of trading gets only more exciting after watching the movies on the list.

Long and short are the terms used by professional traders to indicate whether a certain trade in worth buying ir selling. It also indicates the action of buying or selling itself. Long trade is the one that initiated by buying and the assets is expected to rise in the price and sold for trader’s profit. A short trade is the one when a trader sells off his assets with the intention that very asset back after they fall in price. That would also come to be profitable for said trader.

Long trades are the one where a trader bought an asset. Some of the brokers even went as far as not to have BUY button in their interface. Instead they have a LONG button for the same purpose. Trader also quite frequently use the term long as in owning an asset. So, saying “I am long Microsoft shares” means that the traders owns said shares. To go long means that a trader is interested in purchasing a certain asset.

Short trading on the other hands has a whole different concept. Of course, there is the same goal in mind, but short trading stands for the much more complicated process than a long one. First a trader has to sell chosen assets and wait for the price for them to drop lower than the one those his sold them for. After that the assets are bought back and not sold until they are back up in price again. Most of the financial markets allow traders to go short. Most of the stocks are quite prone to be short.

So that is the difference between going short and long in trading. Simple. But there is a certain beauty to it.

I have right now 10,000usd

I need another 10,000usd

Instead of going to a bank and ask for a loan of 10,000

I’m going to divide my company

Pie itself has 20 slices:

I have in one hand 10 pieces of the pie that is mine and in a second hand i have another 10 slices.
for each slice in the second hand I’ll ask 1000usd from investors.

My company is now running

After a year I manage to make my business bigger - and now it worth not 20,000 - it worth 40,000usd

That means my 50% of the company worth instead of 10,000usd it worth now 20,000usd

and each investor doubled his 1000usd investment - now each investor has 2000usd

Each investor also now can sell his pie for 2000usd and make a clean profit of 1000usd (invested 1000 and earned another 1000usd)
