What music do you listen to when you're trading?

When I'm trading I like to have music on. I've always been like that. I need something which is pretty lively or aggressive so I put on things such as:

Rage against the machine
Nine Inch Nails
Soulfly
David Bowie
Tomahawk

If I've made my target for the day I relax and put on something soothing such as:

Air
St Germaine
Sergio Mendes
Depeche Mode (ok not very relaxing but I love em)
Grandmaster Flash (legend)

So what do you listen to when you trade?

I prefer Jazz or any lounge music. I love instrumentals.

Re: What music do you listen to when you're trading?

The sound of silence. The only way to focus and stay attentive. The problem with music is that it always carries some emotions, even classical music. Just wrong thinking in approaching the market objectively.

Silence can have an opposite effect on me and drive me nuts! I'm the type of guy who has a difficult time sitting still so that may have something to do with it.

Re: What music do you listen to when you're trading?

I have to have music or something on, mainly for background noise. Sitting here in complete silence would drive me insane.

I have Sirius and with the service you get an smaller online version of their service. It's great - I just use a non-trading computer to stream the music and there's a bunch of stations to chose from. I personally like Octane - not heavy metal, more modern alternative. It just helps keep the blood flowing.
