What are your thoughts? I tend to have the news on the TV on but since I trade forex on those weird hours i find music soothing to fill the void of quitness and to allow me to focus better
I find Jazz or Classical music enhances my concentration. I only have CNBC on for a few minutes at the beginning of the trading day and during economic number releases.
Trance music. Nothing like a bit of PVD, Armin Van Buuren or Ferry Corsten to listen to while studying or trading. Though for me, trading right now = watching/analyzing the markets while monitoring position trades.
if the market's slow i'll listen to jazz or pop but when we are in a mean downtrend and i'm trading volatility names i like to listen to black sabbath, guns & roses, or blue oyster cult.
