  2. How old is that video?
    Looks like it’s from the early 2000’s

    Then obviously you didn't watch it. He mentions that he left many years later after having been Citi's top FX trader up to 2014.

    Watched it yesterday. I've seen a couple of his youtubes, but this was much better. Kid is smart, worked hard, got lucky, and kicked ass. It's an underdog story and I can relate to the guy. That said, he does have Oxford and LSE degrees.

    Not surprised that to win his trading game his strategy was to "bully the price".

    In 10 years (or even sooner), most of these bankers will end up like the pit traders thanks largely to AI.

    Nah.

    a good banker is worth their weight in gold. There will always be a pipeline of bankers to find those good bankers.

    the pit analogy doesn’t work because pits survived on a built in inefficiency

    Maybe in M&A and IPOs, but not the type you see in the video.

    Agreed. All the "trading" against clients can and probably already had been done. I spoke to a few big banks and they said we want to reduce headcount. This was 5+ years ago
