Can you teach trading through music?

I would also have chosen "Kenny Rogers: The Gambler".
Since it was posted already I would choose "Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody". (more like a metaphoric song of trading)

I think I was 8 when I first heard this song. I didn't like it. I heard it over the years growing up. I think, the only time I truly appreciated this music was when I learned music at 25. Started playing guitar, drums, piano and singing since I was 14. I thought this song was just a total rubbish. Now, I think this song is one of the best song ever produced.

Its not your typical song/music. It contains different and multi-level of music. One could never imagine of mixing and incorporating so much into one and expect it to be an excellent piece of art. I mean, when you mix every color of paint, you would get a shitty-dark-brown color.

Trading is the same having multi-dimension. The ever changing and constant movement of transitions from one form to another (all happening in one trading session). And that's why a rigid trading plan will never survive such turbulent environment. A trading plan needs to accommodate and be able to identify every form of shift and transitions.

The first time I saw this thread title, I thought it was going to be about predicting the development of price in a similar way to predicting the development of a song.

Thanks - I had a private bet with myself that "The Gambler" would be the first to be posted... And guess what!

Nice- I really like the Hunt and Montezuma... They're going straight to the playlist, the other 2 I think creates falls feelings of safety lol so not good for trading...

Interesting though I've never really got into this sort of music I pretty much will listen to anything that sounds good from Moetzart to Pantera honestly I like every genre of music its all expression through different minds... I hold no bias.

Thanks again

I gotta admit I've never heard of people trying to predict the development of a song lol what is this?

The reason I strated this thread was cause like most of you I'm sure I spent the first year of my forex factory career (and trading career) with my head in the "trading systems " forum. I would watch these guys with their "systems" who would churn the pips out of the market consistently and then falsly beleive (much to my surprise) that anything they could do I could do better

Sounds a bit cocksure but I just thought if this guy could do this then all I need to do is learn it and sopend time on it until I was better even than them. I could name a bunch of people and systems but i won't bother.

Determination was my method. Great someone had done the thinking for me and now all i had to do was copy and paste in a nicer font. Hey I'm a smart guy this won't be hard...

Well, as I soon learnt the hard way there was more to trading than just a mechanical red light green light system.

I developed a motto or maybe a theory recently that - If what I'm doing can be programmed into an EA then I needed more... The thinking behind this was that if a profitable method exists that could run itself through programming then the banks could be doing the same but with massive ammounts of money.. In fact everyone in the world could do the same and they wouldn't even need to kno anything about trading.... In short, this just isn't realistic.

I'm sure theres EA's that work and all that but this was just my thinking as a manual operator...

Anyhoo. To cut long story short, if someone were to ask me right now to teach them to trade I would find it very difficult to know where to start. The mechanics of the entry are programmable into a computer in a way, but the thinking behind considering the entry in the first place is where the money is made (or lost).... this as I realised is the beauty of the market.

Is it realistic that a bum off the street could become a millionaire in 5 years by simply following with dicipline a set of rules that you have laid out for him... I don't think so.

This is why I don't bother with the tading systems forum anymore, just cause the systems have been created through another persons interpretation of the market....

So....... With that said (fk I'm waffling now) this thread was made to try and tap into that "6th sense" if you will, that all profitable traders possess. It's more about the undescribable that could only be describes (possibly) through music... Even just music itself with no lyrics. Its that feeling or warning or something that even right now can not be summarised in black and white....

That song "If I had a heart" I'd never heard before but as soon as I started listening to it I could feel the market and its relation to the song. Was quite amazing actually.
