Re: squawk box?

I know some folks who have used and it seems to help so that's great, but for me I think it is distracting. Especially if you are trading a system you developed and backtest and have put into live action. If you "start taking positions" or "not taking positions" or based on the audio, then you are not sticking to your setups and sort of flyng by the seat of your pants IMO. After all your backtesting did not consider the audio. I mean maybe I should try hooking the audio output up to an audio meter and start testing to see at what decibel levels price starts to react and I could come up with a setup from it hahaha.
