What do you listen to during the trading day?

[autoloader]

I can't listen to music because I wind up focusing on it too much. CNBC, Bloomberg TV and the like are usually just a bunch of distracting scatterbrained noise, in my humble opinion. I don't like just sitting there in silence all day staring at the screen. I was thinking maybe some podcasts would be a possible option. What do you listen to?

do laundry lmao, or maybe chlean the house, but honestly i work at an office as an intern arch. so i so that too. You can also take the time to learn to code. or learn how to play chess

Yeah, a squawk feed would be good. I guess I'll try some podcasts.

I listen to the shadow trader room on TOS chat (on mobile too!) from 9:15 to 11:30 then again 1:30 to 4. Brad and scooter do a good job calling the market internals. A+ with light music imo

My morning routine is "the Real Investment Show" with Lance from RIA realinvestmentadvice.com. Then throughout the day either chess twitch streamers or Spotify (Tool or new Country - depending on my mood)

I have Trader TV widget running most of the day.
I do not focus on it. A low murmur in the background.
I keep one ear open to pick up on any news being reported that relates to my trades, economic reports, earnings announcements, and analyst rating changes.
They provide real market updates for stocks that I do not normally monitor; allowing me to get in on movements that I might have otherwise missed.

1. It is JUST market news. There are no "personalities" that overwhelm that news with their opinions.
2. They use ToS charts, which is a great way to get exposed to the myriad of ways that the ToS app can help analyze my trades.

To reduce overhead on the ToS app
This widget is available through youtube

My preferred access is youtube and then to save real estate, I caste it to a TV.

Schwab Network is good to listen to in the background.

Keeps you abreast of what is happening during the market day.

You can cast to the TV; keep it on low.
Two segments that are helpful to chartists honing their analytical skills are:
Chart Master
and
The Big 3: Three Stocks, Three Charts, Three Trades

In both segments, they do chart analysis using ThinkOrSwim.
They emphasize drawing support and resistance.

(if you are unsure where to draw your support lines, research Google.​

It is the single most essential trading tool in your tool box).​

Yes, it is cumbersome at first; but you will quickly become proficient in seeing your support lines; w/o having to draw them.

This Big 3 segment subject: When to trade on a stock that has been correcting?

The forum has no affiliation with Charles Schwab.
