I can certainly see where sound could be used to tell whats happening in the market, I do something with the ES like that.

But historical charts would have to be a problem.

Market Sound. This is a computerised voice that speaks the quotes for futures markets. Gets noisier as market gets busier. It used to be free but looks like it costs now.

I've attended several times chess sessions with blindfolded players who were playing simultaneously against 10-40 players. And in most cases they won all or 99% of their games. Blind people develop , by nature, an extraordinary memory. If you would apply this to trading I would recommend a squawk box like www.marketvu.com or others, where you have real time (voice)coverage (free) of what's going on in the market.

Good trading

I've got a blind friend who's done quite well with stocks.Anyone know any other blind traders as I'd like to put my friend in touch.

I have been in the securities business since 1989, and trading with direct access since 1995. This is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing.

Please give him my information. I would love to speak with him for one-hour, and let him know that for his time, I will donate to a charity of his choice.

Thank you in advance!

Did notice in the public library recently;
the main library has a much better selection of braille books , regular books than the branch library.

Also nociced over many years some medical doctors study much better than others;
Dr. Reginald Cherry ,M.D.,of Houston Texas
also seems to enjoy his reearch .

Just read an interesting (fiction) book about a blindness epidemic
suddenly striking a European city.

Blindness by Jose Saramago. Very interesting read...
