Hey guys,

I'm curious if any of you are using pit noise or squak audio from S&P 500 pit (specifically for trading YM). I know that Tradethemarkets is using it for daytrading and I wanted to get an outside opinion.

For myself, I've been listening to it for the past month and I can't really say yet if it helps or if it makes it worse....


Thank you for your opinions!

Hi Sergey,

Here's something for you.

Cheers

Interesting Post. I have been pondering adding audio to my trades as well but have yet to do so.

If you could, please add what service you use to pipe into the pit.

Thanks.

It's a distraction in my opinion.

I agree with brownsfan about it being a distraction. However, it can be very interesting to listen to during large news announcements such as FOMC. I also find the commentary interesting when a top ten local comes in and pushes the market his way during a slow lunchtime. Such a service gives you a better look at the human nature behind the market...but I would never trade off of it. As to using it just as background noise...it completely depends on the individual.

I am only familiar with tradersaudio.com

Anyone have pit noise that would be up for broadcasting direct on the site? I can build a audio server called shoutcast. Or is that not legal?

Don't know how that works James - I've seen chat rooms that broadcast it into the room, so I guess you can.

I have no idea on the legality of it but it's being done to my knowledge. Been awhile since I was in the chat room circuit however.

James, it would certainly be worth asking Ben at TradersAudio.
