Music affects our mood... it doesn't represent the current market. If you think you do then you're in a complete illusion. But... knowing(a little bit) about surf, the market is what we percieve the market to be. Considering that... people should trial and error what kinda a music to listen to.
One of the best improvements that I've made to my trading in the last year was to turn the TV off. If you think watching CNBC is going to get you important news fast then you really need a wake up call. Even if you do get the news, you need to know how to react to it. Want to know the quickest news service? Just watch the futures. So I listen to Howard in the am...then I switch to the CD player.
