Professional stock market trading, gambling or competition

[Guest guest]

Aum Durgayai namah

 

Namaste Hari ji,

 

Your point is correct, even more so now with Options trading, where there is no "market" per say to feed, and every trade is a fierce competition between a buyer and a seller to negotiate a "best" price.

 

Lately I have also become addicted to stock trading, so I can tell you, that it is "war" , and 6th house is factor, so is moon and manas, and its not for the weak hearted...5th house and gains thereof are to be examined certainly, so is the important placement and strength of Ketu, because no matter what "reasoning" one gives, its ultimately a "hunch" which drives a stock trader....

 

as a light note:- I am still smiling after loosing a few lacs already !

 

Namaste

Dear Members,

 

Many professinal stock market traders I have spoken to do not describe

their profession as gambling. They see it as competition with other

traders in the market, many see it as a game of strategy even like

chess.

 

These are life long career traders, not those who do it once in a while

to get rich quick.

 

Bearing this competition idea in mind, can this come under the dictum

of a connection between the 2nd house and the 6th house for income

through competition?

Dear Gaurav,

 

Yes I can see your points. I was more interested in the long term

career traders in markets such as stocks, derivatives and forex. Guys

who have been doing it full time for more than 10 years as opposed to

recreational or short term dabbling.

 

From what they say they don't have hunches, it's based on reccuring

patterns which they wait for patiently. They trade on these patterns.

 

So I think the traders can fall into two categories, those who gamble

using hunches and those who trade based on predictable patterns over

the long term. ie a trend follower?

 

Most I have spoken to speak of it as strategy and a battleor war.

They say that when they win a trade some others have lost money, more

go as far as saying they have taken the competitors money. Many also

say there is a winner on one side of a trade and a loser on the

other. This is very 6th house isnt it?

 

So this long term competitive trading would have something to do with

the 6th house. Where as the 'hunch' type trading would be more 8th

house, where it is an unknown which way you think the market is going.

 

Some people are advised not to enter the stock market based on their

charts. What if they were suitable for 6th house competitive type

trading as opposed to 8th house trading?

 

I think the advice for entering or not entering the stock market

should maybe be based on the criteria for gains from the financial

markets, maybe using Jupiter and Libra as significators? Rather than

assuming stockmarket activities will always be 8th house related or

gambling/speculation.

 

Depending on how you trade in the stock market you may not be

gambling or speculating at all, if these long term career traders are

anything to go by. So then there is no 8th house connection?

 

I know of mechanical traders who simply program a computer system

which automatically enters and exits trades. This makes them

consistent money in the long run. This would not be gambling or

speculating.

 

Sudden large gains from speculating on the unknown market direction

is 8th house related?

 

Long term steady career wealth from competitive trading in the

financial markets is 6th house related?

 

Hope someone can shed somemore light.

 

Thanks

 

Hari

Namaste Hari ji,

 

Lets put things into real perspective. Below is the data of someone known to me. Based in India, he is massively into derivatives, commodities trading and lately also into stocks. ( multi corores Ruppes daily trading )

 

TradingMarkets

 

August 15, 1975Time: 4:15:00 pmTime Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT)Place: 70 E 24' 00", 26 N 55' 00"

 

 

So now, Sagittarius lagna with LL retro in 5th house of Aries, whos lord mars is in 6th along with Ketu in the sign of taurus. Both are co-lords of 12th house. 6th lord is venus retro sitting in 9th house with mercury and aspected by LL jupiter. Also, 8th lord is Moon in 12th house, debilitated with rahu and under aspect from mars and ketu. Saturn as 2nd and 3rd lord sits in the 8th along with 9th lord Sun.

 

Moon is under serious affliction here, and venus is flaring quite satisfactory so far in its mahadasa for the natve.

 

What are your perspectives?

 

Namaste

II hraum namah adityaya II

 

Dear Jyotishi , Namaskar

 

 

First the stockmarkest must have all the time passion about improvment

of finances, this comes from Rajasic grahas influencing Lagna

(personality) or ninth bhava (worldview), here Me and Ve are in AL and

in ninth bhava!

 

Second, very important is eight bhava as risk is vital part of stock

markets, so the 2H in D9 is 8H in D1 gives a person which is focused on

this type of activity.

 

Third - person must be focused on gains, so preferably the Lagnesh must

have some connection to eleventh bhava, here we see aspects of Gu which

has strong chesta bala, whats more eleventh bhava in D1 is fifth bhava

in D9 giving attitude related to gains, gains, gains.

 

Forth career, or rather how he acts, is connected to this two aspects :

fortune (10L in ninth) and risk (2/8 axis tulya in D9)

 

Fifth - his AK is in eight bhava as dispostior of 10L and AL Lord!

 

Sixth bhava doesnt depend so

much on luck and risk.

Dear Gaurav,

 

I will just list out the points as I see them:

 

 

Atmakaraka and 10th lord from Moon is Sun, placed in 8th house. So

8th house activities he cannot escape.

 

2nd and 9th lord join in 8th house, 8th house is very strong, lord of

fortune and King of the horoscope is there.

 

10th lord Mercury is in navamsa of 8th lord Moon. So there is yoga

between 8th and 10th houses.

 

Benefic Jupiter is in the 5th and more benefics aspect 5th from 10th

by rasi drishti, good for correct speculating

 

Jupiter and Mercury influence on the AL, this gives correct

predictions.

 

A10 in the 8th house, indication of 8th house related karma.

 

8th house is 12th from AL , 8th house activity is a possible source

of losses.

 

HL is in the 6th, he may be very competitive or likes battles.

 

Yoga between 8th lord Moon and 12th lords Mars/Ketu, occuring in 6th

house, very good for competitive victory.

 

Lord of HL Venus conjoins lord of 2nd and 11th from AL Mercury, yoga

for wealth.

 

Lord of Artha saham is Mercury, so there is strong connection between

9th house, Artha saham, HL, 2nd and 11th from AL

 

Darakaraka is Lagnesh Jupiter and aspects AL, fame from making money

 

Darakaraka and Subhapati Mars have parivatana yoga in navamsa,

charakaraka for wealth and controler of mind's desires should be

connected.

 

Can't see a strong link between 2nd and 11th house. There is link

between 5th and 11th and between 2nd and 5th.

 

 

 

In D2 chart:

 

HL is in the 8th house in the sign Libra, so speculation in the

financial markets is a possible source of income.

 

8th lord Venus is in the AL, so arudha has influence of 8th house

matters.

 

A10 in the 8th house, indication of 8th house related karma.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would say this is more a gambler/speculator and he has strong

competitive abilities too.

 

This person would not be a mechanical trader or systems trader.

 

 

He has to be careful as 8th lord Moon is also lord of 12th from Al

and is debilitated vargottama. If he has to experience bad effects

due to this then it may well come through 8th house activities and

also losses (12th from AL)

 

Furthermore Moon is debilitated in second from HL in D2. Maraka for

HL in D2. This may not be correct method of analysis though.

 

 

 

His income is normal for a professional trader I would say. I don't

see his wealth being that of a billionaire, eg George Soros or Bruce

Kovner

 

This would be my reasons as to why:

 

Moon is in a dusthana with Rahu. This would not help build huge

amounts of wealth over a long period of time. Which is needed for

billionaire status.

 

There is no Graha Malika Yoga, this usually helps with building

something like a financial empire.

 

There is no key planet that is in an extreme state like exaltation or

debilitation in rasi or navamsa. HL lord, 11th from AL , 2nd lord etc

Dear Hari / Gaurav,

 

I've been associated with the stock Markets since I was 17, I am now 40.

There is no part of the securities trading business that I have not been

part of. To name a few I have been ..

 

1. A young inexperienced greedy gambler,

2. a serious fundamental equity analyst,

3. an authorized assistant in the trading floor (those days there was

floor trading),

4. a dealer,

5. a technical analyst,

6. a designer and programmer of systems for securities trading

applications

7. writing algorithms for studying patterns in stock markets

8. designing systems for stock exchanges for trading equities /

derivatives and commodities

9. Technology advisor to a stock exchange...

 

Here are a few observations that are pertinent to the current

discussions:

 

a. Is trading investing a science - Yes it is

b. Is trading investing an art - Yes it is

c. There is always a hunch involved (even if I'm writing some algorithm

that is grounded deeply in mathematics / statistics)

d. The fundamentals and the technicals are not mutually exclusive.

 

Its strange that the markets have been described by you as a war or a

fight. Because apart from markets I have an obsession for studying

warfare, defense and strategic thought.

 

I feel the Mercury, Ketu, the 6th, 8th and 11th houses have something to

do with the way a person invests / trades. Also major events in the

stock markets have an uncanny correlation with *the nodes* transiting

some key points in my chart. I don't look at Markets as just a means to

make a living or just money, to me, its a living, dynamic, ever evolving

philosophy that gives you insights into the kaleidoscope this universe

is, in just the same way jyotish does. Perhaps you can call it a modern

day storehouse of Nimitta.

 

This birth's co-ordinates are:

2nd March 1967, 8:55 AM

78E35, 25N26 - (Jhansi Uttar Pradesh)

5:30 East of GMT - India

 

Regards,

Dear Simha,

 

I would probably put your birth time back to 8:47. Pisces lagna makes

more sense to me.

 

For life long involvement in the speculative field you would need

combinations in the Rasi involving 8th house. 8th lord exalted in

lagna, karaka for speculation Mars in the 8th house, in Libra (

financial markets ), AL in Scorpio, 8th house of zodiac.

 

Lords of fortune Mars and Ketu are in 8th house.

 

Jupiter would give you talent in the financial field, influence on

lagna, navamsa lagna and AL.

 

Obsession or deep desire about warfare, have to look at the

Atmakaraka for that, your Atmakaraka is retrograde (strong desire) in

Aries navamsa, with Saturn and Mars ( battles warfare ) in trines to

it.

 

If you say you are 'in tune' to the financial markets then you would

definitely need the strong influence of Jupiter (intuition) on the

9th house (intuition). I know some people with foresight into the

financial markets, they all have Jupiter strongly associated with 9th

house.

 

Thanks

 

Hari
