What kind of music you hear while you trade?

Is this the biggest thread in forexfactory? I’m shocked to see 2296 pages and people are still answering it xD
However, when it comes to the question, I don’t understand how people can listen to only one music. My music for trading day depends on my mood and how I feel. Plus, it also depends on my trading strategy/asset that I’m using. For instance, if I scalp or take trades intraday I tend to listen to something very energetic and aggressive at the same time, because charts are moving quickly and I’m there excited to find set ups. However, if I’m looking for swing trades or making a fundamental analysis for some stocks, I prefer listening to something chill. I really started to like Brent Faiyaz recently, matches the vibes perfectly

It’s different. Sometimes I wanna sit and listen to something calm, just for concentration. I have days when I wanna something more dynamic - heavy rock, or something from action movies you know. Sometimes I don’t wanna listen to music at all. So it depends - the main thing is that music or not, it should help me concentrate when working with charts.

Butler, Blake & Grant.
An indie supergroup. Bernard Butler (from London band Suede) along with Norman Blake and James grant (from Scottish bands Teenage Fanclub and Love&Money).

An easy timeless West Coasty type vibe on this one (might be your thing TT. could have been recorded any time since the 1960s)

And Edwyn. A national treasure since his Orange Juice days. He had a devastating stoke 20 years ago and that was the last we thought we'd ever hear from him. But he persevered and learned to talk and use his limbs again, and even a bit of guitar again. Moved out of London and went to his Highlands home of Helmsdale to recuperate and build a new studio - where this recent video is filmed. Some of his albums since the stroke are actually career highlights. He still has that lovely distinctive baritone voice you probably recognise from his biggest hit - A Girl Like You.

Wooly Bully in my early memories of records I played over & over (on my brother's fold out low-fi suitcase phonograph, which he had spray-painted day-glow orange). Pretty sure this was the flip side:

One of my fav Eno tracks (with John Cale). Always find it a very uplifting song.

They paint the picture of Van Gogh painting A Starry Night.

Little punky classic from Canadian band Hot Hot Heat.

This caused quite a stir in the UK when it was released I remember.
You can't be mentioning bandages that many times in a song when we're trying to have a Gulf War


Rising stars HOT HOT HEAT have seen their track ‘BANDAGES’ removed from playlist at BBC RADIO 1, as the nation’s programmers get jittery over the output on their stations.
The track had been on the B list on the station, guaranteeing 15 plays a week and a potential audience of millions. It has been removed because of a “prevalence of the word ‘bandages’ in the song”, a spokesperson said.

Being playlisted on Radio 1 practically rubber-stamps a healthy chart position. ‘Diamonds And Guns’ by The Transplants has also been removed from the B list.
“We’re attempting to be sensitive to the expectations of listeners,” the Radio 1 spokesperson said.
