Strange question for traders at home

Ticketwatcher

What classic FM do you listen to, is it available through internet ?
I think classic music may be good for traders

Quote from Ticketwatcher:

I listen to Classic FM out of London. It is early afternoon there.

.................
I have CNBC on but rarely turn on the sound, I just go with the classical music.

Quote from illiquid:

I am definitely not a morning person; I've always felt the markets were somehow easier to read during the overnight sessions but I think it's just because my mind is much clearer at night as compared to the early morning.

If I could live anywhere to trade, it would probably be Europe. I would love to be able to get up around 11, exercise an hour, have lunch for breakfast, then have my trading day start around 1pm. Finish my trading around 9pm, just in time for dinner, then bedtime would be around 3am.

dude! this is my day if i trade:

out of bed 9-10 am depending on the night before.

breakfast, get some fresh air, insult some neo-cons on et, check e-mail news etc.

healthy lunch at 12.30. mental exercises for 20 min, then i start trading between 13.20-17.00. usually i am done before.

i dont day trade that long because life is too short.

after 17:00 i insult some more neo-cons for another 30 min on et (i get a lot of smiles winding those brainless jerks up!).

then i update my logs etc.

19:00 im on my way out for the evening - maybe dinner with some mates, pub/bar etc. if ive done really well i may go to a club, get hammered, do some drugs, get jiggy wid da honeys etc - in which case i probably wont trade the next day.

if i dont do out on a bender, im usually back in bed by midnight. yes i sleep usually for a good 8-9 hours. i sleep like a baby.

oh, what do i wear?

clothes! shirt, slacks or jeans. im not wearing any socks at the moment :D (jfyi)

sometimes i may wear a rubber gimp suit if its cold.
 
5:00 (cst) get up, shower, shave, dress in the usual blue shirt and khakis.

5:30 eat breakfast, watch bloomberg tv for europe and asia action.

6:00 hit PACE parknride to Lisle metra

6:26 Metra express to union station

7:05 at the BOT firing up the TT and charts!

Its like going to work at a factory. Only you dont come home smelling like chemicals and the only thing you do is make sure the one line in the little box on the lower right corner of your screen is green by the end of the day!!!!
 
Today sucks..........I'm bored. Good Friday is not being good to me... to add insult to injury the weekend is going to feel longer.

A few months ago the weekends were my favorite days of the week..... now they are more like a prison cell.

I want market action!
