Listening to Music While Trading

sep34 · #1 01-09-2009, 06:04 PM

Hope its appropriate to post this here..

I was doing my part and checking some of the Folks that support TL and came across this Web ssite. Its s a cool web site.

Although I have never used nor plan on using them or similar services. Non the less very nice site and more importantly the music as the page is loading has a very cool beat And thats what prompted me to post this thread, I listen to music while I trade and I can definitly trade whith that beat.
Types of music I prefer

Anything that raises my energy, however there are types of music that assist me to focus zone in sorta speak and those are my favorit to listen to while trading.

Im trying to figure out the name of this Group or Artist or CD name. Any one out there know them???

Classic Rock works best for me. They sing about the 'tough times back on the River" and about "being a cowboy", haha, which puts me in the mood to relax and focus on the markets.

I like to stick to calm and relaxing music with a light tempo to keep me away, but not too fast to get me anxious.

Also, stay clear of cafeine if you have a hard time focusing, and stick to doing routine excercizes that will condition your focus.

For a list of excercizes I do, you can PM me

Hope it helps, Mav

Just about any music will do for me--I don't find that I have better results while listening to certain genres of music (though honestly I haven't done any testing in this area to correlate music to profit). However, I mostly listen to various styles of metal, such as Carcass, Megadeth, Overkill, Evergrey, Cacophony, etc, because that is typically my favorite genre.

I've got a few stations on Sirius that I listen to, but mainly it's Octane during the trading day to keep the blood flowing.

Great thread,

That electric classical guitar piece in that video above is incredible.

I haven't posted here much, but this kind of conversation gets me going.
You guys probably all know about this, but there is a site called pandora.com where you can design your own "stations" based on certain types of music. They can get repetitous at times but you can keep changing it up. I keep my thing going with Tuck and Patti, Leo Kottke, Ben Harper, Blind boys of Alabama, Led Zep, Hendrix, etc, though that higher octane stuff can be distracting to me at crucial times, I need to reach over and turn it down, (I have it going on a machine next to me). Also a radio station I like is www.kumd.org. A good mix there.

I also have my own guitar hanging here that I can grab when I need to step back for a minute.

...speaking of Hendrix, here's a version of Little Wing done by my favorite guitarist:

YouTube - Tuck & Patti - Castles Made Of Sand/Little Wing

Or how 'bout a Santana classic:

YouTube - Tuck Andress Europa

Doesn't get much better than that.

I know this is all "off topic", but ya gotta have something to keep you going.

Thanks,
John H

I just ran this through Tunatic and it returned "Holding On" from Ferry Corsten feat. Shelley Harland. And then searched this on YouTube and found a 8min version of it:
