Before The Mets, Steve Cohen Was The Hedge-Fund King (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

How good is he? Showtime’s Billions is inspired by Steve Cohen’s life. Cohen is Bobby
Axelrod in real life.
He started as a young poker player in high school and college but wanted a larger casino to
play in so he moved to the stock market. He started his trading career as a predictive and
intuitive trader with a great skill for tape reading. He was able to sit in front of his screen,
scan the news, watch the price action, and consistently make a lot of money. He loved day
trading; it was his favorite time frame from the start.
