The show captures the visceral thrill of trading hand-to-hand in the open outcry pits in Chicago. We profile how these two working-class guys became the business world’s least-likely tycoons. We follow them as they trade the ups-and-downs of the market with their own money. Colorful characters abound on all sides of these tight-knit but cut-throat environments. However, these masters of the free market may prove vulnerable as computers begin making the open-outcry obsolete.

This pioneering and edgy firm is the future of Wall Street. Cutting out the middle man and going right to a growing class of new private traders, Thinkorswim’s CFO, Kristi Ross, fights to keep the start-up growing and running smoothly while nearby Tony Battista trades his own money and shows people how they, too, can make it in the markets. However, when the credit crisis hit all the rules of the game change on them.
