What kind of music you hear while you trade?

I was raised on classical music. I now enjoy passive music to keep me company.

www.hos.com - hour long tracks let me drop in and get a feel for the 15m movements without ever even switching over to them.

It keeps my emotions going in a straight line and lets me trade with my head.

I also like to experience my charts in different ways. I feed images of my charts through a sound mapping device and it turns the price movements into audible frequencies. The higher the pitch, the higher the price. See if you can follow this one. This is what real Forex music is This is the sound of gbp.jpy moving between the 25th of June and the 20th of July in 2007. Pull up a chart and enjoy it in a new way...

Of course it sure is nice having Beethoven's 9 symphonies on hand from time to time...

-R

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

As for classicals -

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture (finale)



If you like the finale, you should listen to the whole thing

Part 1
Part 2

Solemn to start with a dramatic end

Asking what type of music you hear is an entirely different query than what music do you listen to. Hopefully for most people it's the same. I don't listen to music while trading.

i did;

back to forex trading and classical TA :
-speaking of violin - there is no violin w/o N.Paganini - Caprice No.24 can't find it by Andre Rieu
closest versions :

p.s. related to forex trading and this thread very directly
it was episodes from educational movie "NPaganini" about MM and exchange of foreign currency (of several countries)
basically...that what i learned : ((((((

Anything by Enya....

I don't hear music but I listen to only for about five minutes though.

Jim Cramer, when he ran his hedge fund, made everybody in the office listen to "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio!

I'm sure Madoff is listening to that one

LOL.

I listen to a little bit of everything - from classical, to old country, classic rock, metal, hip-hop, progressive, etc.

Although, I do normally like to listen to whatever suits the situation. Such as back when I used to foolishly open ridiculously large positions pre-news releases, I used to turn on "Highway To Hell"- AC/DC.

Surprisingly, that was exactly what happened a good 90% of the time.

I had no idea! I'm a huge Tool fan and I think [FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Fibonacci [/font]is great too. My respect for the band just shot up a few more pips.
Thank you for sharing this.

I like all kinds of music, but the last year or so I've been into the Dance type music. Listen a lot to BPM on Sirius radio. Some samples:


(haven't partied like that in over a decade).

Best music on the planet




Plug in your headphones and relax while pips are running green.

Enjoy

Tubular bells isn't bad:

Some good music that...for charting of course

I don’t listen that much classical music; but anything calm.
To trade well you have to be smooth as a baby's bottom!!!!!

I like to listen to piano music, relaxed music, celtic.. and soundtracks.

i like to have some trance music going in the background. the driving pace keeps me awake and focused plus it's freakin awesome music. seriously though, it's fun, exciting music, which keeps me alert, which helps me trade better because i'm borderline ADHD and i need something to help me stay focused.
