Music for Trading

    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
     
  2. 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) :D
     
  5. 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.

  6. 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>
     
  7. 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.
     
  8. 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
