Music for Trading

C

Cruzan

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) :D
 
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.

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
