trading poetry

Silent sets the sun,
On this golden autumn day.
As the echo of footsteps on the trading floor,
Slowly fade away.
As the daylight dims,
On the charts with which I play.
Now I'm left to ponder,
The bucks I made today. :D
 
There was a young trader called Gordon
Who seemed to be suffering from boredom
Since his trading sucked eggs he wrote poems instead
But while writing missed profits which galled him !!!

Quote from Katrina Johns:

There was a young man called GG,
The market he'd divine with a ouija,
But the market reversed,
And he lost his shirt,
And now he uses a squeegee!

Trader trader in the pit, why are the fills I get so shit?

When I bought S&P were you taking a pee?

When I sold Nasdaq were you taking a crap?

Its always the same cause my broker is lame and my profits are buying him dinner!

Gordon, you're pissed but obviously you're not pissed enough, if you still have your sense of humor and can write a poem about it. The day you'll be really pissed and really needing money you'll immediately learn to pick the right trades. I am sure there must be in one whole day 1 trade you feel more confident about than the others. And I am sure you don't just make the trade you're the most confident about, but all the other ones as well. Right? Can't you see? You don't want to win. You don't want to make money. You just want to play the game. I know you've already lost a lot of money, but it's still not enough to make you really crave money. When you will be really worried, you'll learn very quickly to stay flat and just watch the markets for many hours, before making a trade.

Jack Schwager asked Ed Seykota, Don't all traders want to win?

"Win or lose, everybody gets what they want out of the market. Some people seem to like to lose, so they win by losing money.

I know one trader who seems to get in near the start of every substantial bull move and works his $10 thousand up to about a quarter of a million in a couple of months. Then he changes his personality and loses it all back again. This process repeats like clockwork. Once I traded with him, but got out when his personality changed. I doubled my money, while he wiped out as usual. I told him what I was doing, and even paid him a management fee. He just couldn't help himself. I don't think he can do it any differently. He wouldn't want to. He gets a lot of excitement, he gets to be a martyr, he gets sympathy from his friends, and he gets to be the center of attention. Also, possibly, he may be more comfortable relating to people if he is on their financial plane. On some level, I think he is really getting what he wants.

I think that if people look deeply enough into their trading patterns, they find that, on balance, including all their goals, they are really getting what they want, even though they may not understand it or want to admit it."

Damn, you all are talented...

The best I could come up with on the spot was...

Often I scalp for some cents,
Occasionally I’ll trade the range,
Sometimes I swing for the fences,
It’s all fine and dandy,
If I manage to pocket some change.

...which is why I trade and don't write poetry for a living.
 
This has got to be my favorite...

Quote from Tech Analysis:

E-mini futures in uptrending markets,
long white candles on increasing volume,
fast order fills, the sound of the 'ding'
these are a few of my favorite things.

MAC-D and RSI, so much to look at,
candles and bar charts and even stochastic,
Where to place stops to avoid my losing,
these are a few of my favorite things.

When the bell rings, and Grasso's bald head,
shines so bright on TV,
I hope my account is greater today,
so I can return tomorrow, we'll see.

There once was a chairman named Pitt
His job, regulate the markets
But conflicts arose
His response, "I don't know"s
That Harvey doth be full of shit.

:cool:
 
Quote from ElCubano:

Market goes up Market goes down,
Leaving my head spinnin around,
Round and round she goes,
Where's my money? nobody knows.

Mrs. Market give me back my money biatch......

peace
