Listening to music while trading

[no_agenda]

Is this a bad idea?

Some posters on other threads have said they listen to music as it helps keep them in a groove and is part of their daily routine; others consider it a distraction and possibly damaging as it may result in missing an important news event on CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.

If music is part of your trading day, what are you listening to?

I rarely watch CNBC, if I have the TV on it's CNN. I get news flashes from quote platform.

Here is my post from a similar thread:

Quote from RAMOUTAR:

Daytrading - "Fire" Jimi Hendrix , "Been a Long Time (I think thats the title?)" Led Zeppelin, the opening drums especially. "Ran Kan Kan" Tito Puente, "Pepino The Italian Mouse" Lou Monte


Swing Trading - "Magic Carpet Ride" Steppenwolf, "LowRider" (War?), "Policy of Truth" Depeche Mode, "Lazy Mary" Lou Monte


After Fed announcement or day after a nifty fifty earnings report, "Crazy Train" Ozzy

Wave file for fill alarms, "Yeah Baby!!" Austin Powers.

Just to name a few...

It depends upon my mood and what is happening around me. I prefer what I'm listening to to be entertaining, but not distracting.

Anything from Queen to Verdi...

I know from past experiences and observation that music can affect your actions hours or even days after listening. Rock is the deadliest and most harmful 2 the mind.

why take a chance?

ha ha, judging from your trading performance I agree, no harm yet.

But, be careful in the future. Eventually it might, just might all catch up 2 you.

have a nice day,
