Where were you in prison? Where I was they didn't play good music.
Which reminds me that I meant to mention another reason for using audibles. Perhaps you can perceive multiple separated parts of a visual presentation simultaneously, but I cannot. However, I can follow perfectly clearly all the parts in a Bach four-part fugue. I have given others this test, and most cannot even follow a two-part fugue. Which led me to the conclusion that interleaved rapid-fire audibles would be a good way for me to assimilate market action coming from studies presented on different parts of the screen.

Ah, yes, I play the overture to Don Giovanni at the end of the trading day when I look at my poor execution reports.

You have THREE girlfriends, BigHog?
Spydertrader, just because you made fun of me I added hoot1.wav for an NQ spread of two ticks. Been getting hurt too much by that lately. Hard to make money with an expectancy of two ticks when a widened spread and the round trip commission takes it all away. Well, it does leave me 20 cents.
The decorative doctor is trading an extreme form of SCT wherein he scalps inside long one minute bars for ticks. In response to his need for a low-anxiety system that will have him in the market no more than 30 seconds, I developed several methods for determining the prabable extension of a one-minute bar. I originally coded it for him as a "helper" (red-light-short, green-light-long, yellow-light-flat), but he was so inattentive he often missed signals, hence the audibles that he claims he invented. A truly serious trader does not surf porn and drink cheap champagne all day.
