    I find that having a rather large bowel movement, followed by the flushing of my toilet, gets me in the appropriate trading frame of mind.

  6. I'll 2nd the pandora recommendation, it's pretty neat.

    I could never sit in complete silence and trade.

  7. I usually listen to Dawn Upshaw's Girl with Orange Lips when I trade the open.

    During the day, I am partial to Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde and listening to Opera without Words employing Puccini's operas.

    I was listening to some electronic music during the middle of a rally and I did a great job holding my position all the way up.

  10. trance music is pretty good - as long as you are in the rythm

    no words so it is less distracting
