What song lyrics go throw your head as you're trading? A few recent ones for me: Bob Seger - Still The Same "You always said, the cards would never do you wrong The trick you said was never play the game too long A gamblers share, the only risk that you would take The only loss you could forsake The only bluff you couldn't fake" Kenny Rogers - The Gambler "Know when to hold them, know when to fold them." Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown "Feel like you're winning when you're losing again.' Lately, though, for some reason it's been: Curtis Mayfield - Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die
ABBA - Winner takes it all The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall Its simple and its plain Why should I complain.
Hey, what a great thread! Thanks. I like to trade to a piano concerto or a sonata, but i've got to try some of the above.
Usually some Verdi(requiem, doesn't get any better than that), Wagner(any of his overtures but Lohengrin especially), or Beethoven (piano concerto 3 &4 Emuanuel Ax/Previn), or a young Winton Marsalas playing Hummel's trumpet concerto in E Flat major but today it was Amy Winehouse's new Back to Black (minus the track that the rapper ruins). When I can't take the market anymore I thrown on Jim Carrey singing the beatles I am the walrus. From reading the posts on ET I suspect that some of you have a Touch of Grey by the Greatful Dead as a staple in your playlist, or maybe even I will survive by Gloria Gaynor (best version of this song was reprised by two drunk chics on HBO's taxi cab confessions)
Oh, I didn't think it was about what you played while trading. I certainly don't play ABBA while trading . Mostly shoutcast mp3 streams radio with anything between minimal electro ambient. Laid back rhythmic lounge style. Ursa..
Goodfellas theme <i>"When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy."</i>
Glad I'm not the only stuck in the 70's guy on this forum..... Winning by Santana I was living in style When the walls fell in When I played my hand I looked like a joker Turn around Fate must have woke her 'Cause lady luck she was Waiting outside the door Chorus: I'm winning I'm winning I'm winning And I don't intend on losing again ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Straight On by Heart Quite some time, I been sittin' it out Didn't take no chances I was a pris'ner of doubt. I knocked down the wailin' wall Ain't no sin Got the feel of fortune; deal me in Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind. Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through Straight on, straight on for you Straight on for you.
This one rocks, from stratovarious Looks like is made for the market: "hunting high and low" I feel the wind in my hair And it's whispering, telling me things Of the storm that is gathering near Full of power I'm spreading my wings Now I'm leaving my worries behind Feel the freedom of body and mind I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind I go I am Hunting High and Low Diving from the sky above Looking for, more and more, once again I'm Hunting High and Low Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose It's just a game that I play After the storm there's a calm Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun I am carried from all of my harm There is no one that I can't outrun Now I'm leaving my worries behind Feel the freedom of body and mind I am starting my journey, I'm drifting away with the wind I go I am Hunting High and Low Diving from the sky above Looking for, more and more, once again I'm Hunting High and Low Sometimes I may win sometimes I'll lose It's just a game that I play
