Poetry for Traders...

Sometimes, no matter what I do,
Nothing seems to work.
I've been stopped out, and without a doubt,
I am a massive berk.
 
It started off a damn good week,
I made some pips, but now it’s bleak.
The chop this morning cost me money
Off to the pub whilst it’s still sunny.
 
I'm sure you'll be amused to know that cable must have read that poem I wrote yesterday. By 9am this morning I'd traded 4 times and been faked 4 times - spooky.....
 
If at first you don’t succeed - try and try again.
No matter how much cash you bleed – buy and sell again.
The only way you’ll ever know – if that trade will win,
Is if you place order now – and take it on the chin.
 
It's funny how some days
Are totally obscene
Trading oh so badly
But still end up in green

Others I trade perfectly
Purely from the head
Doesn't matter what I do
I still end up in red
 
The day started bad,
And now it’s getting worse.
I’ve had to move to halfsize,
To avoid the fiscal hearse.
That’s waiting in the wings
To carry me to my grave
I’m going down in style today
Why won’t cable behave?
 
I'm sure you'll be amused to know that cable must have read that poem I wrote yesterday. By 9am this morning I'd traded 4 times and been faked 4 times - spooky.....

Maybe there's something in these things we're writing... :eek:
 
Thank you and likewise to you. It's one way of ignoring a terrible morning's trading!!
 
Well this is it, last trade today….
I’m all done in and shot away,
By the vicious whips that triggered my stops.
I feel beaten up by market chops.

How can it be so hard sometimes?
When other days the market climbs
With me on board and in the money,
I try to cry but it’s so funny.

So funny how I carry on,
Going short when she’s gone long.
Trading’s fun or so they say
I’ll try to fight another day.

Another day of ups and downs,
I’m feeling depressed, or so it sounds?
But in point of fact I’m happy still,
I know that cable bears me no ill.

Ill she offers not to me,
The devil is in me you see.
The only reason for my loss,
Is because I took that trade whilst cross.

Cross and angry at the world,
At all the pain at me was hurled.
Pain of loss and pain a fear,
Muddled up with last night’s beer.

Last night’s beer I should never have drank
It’s cost me dear and broke my bank.
To try and trade with a fuzzy head,
Is suicide, I’ll end up dead.

Not dead in body, just with my broker
He’s stopped my credit, it’s such a choker.
“Please let me take just one last trade?
You know I’ll win, you’ll be repaid.”

“Repaid with what” I hear him say
“You lost the lot – you’ve lost your way”
And on those words I say goodbye
Put down the phone and start to cry…..
 
Magnus my man you are indeed a man of very many talents !!!

lol... Rest assured I didn't write poetry on the 'rigs... would no doubt result in a man-overboard situation... :p

I'm wingin' it... kitejedi seems to be full of the good stuff...
 
Haha yup, reading some great stuff here. You guys got some real talent.

You know Felix Dennis ?

One of the richest guys - self-made, mind - in the UK ?

If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened

Excerpt from his pretty good and interesting book "How to get Rich" which is so refreshing because he has been there and done that to an extent that he is Britains 55th richest person worth half a billion, and isn't just writing about some hearsay or wild theories haha.

Well anyway, now that he has made his bundle he's really into poetry:

From parties to poetry


And gives poetry readings to promote his books:

Felix Dennis has promoted his poetry with an extensive series of readings. These readings were attended by thousands of poetry lovers. Billed as the 'Did I Mention the Free Wine?' tour, over 20,000 glasses of French wine were served to audiences in 32 American and British cities. At each venue, long queues formed waiting for Dennis to sign books - he estimates he has signed over 7,000 copies of his books for readers so far.

Book sale proceeds are donated to his forest charity btw and don't make him any richer.

Sounds like yet another career option Magnus !!!

Star struck girls in the first audience rows adoring you on stage instead of stewardesses in the cockpit ?!?

:D

OK don't want to derail the thread any more haha but you've got the skills so why not a reading tour.

:clap:
