Does anyone else watch trading streamers while they trade?

Trader TV Live.

I can't do the background noise thing, I need near silence or I start missing entries. But I get why people do it, the lonely silence can wear you down after a few hours. I'll throw on a playlist with no lyrics sometimes, just ambient stuff that doesn't pull my focus. Never got into the streaming trader scene though, feels like watching someone else's P/L would mess with my own head.

That is by far the most degenrate thing you can do! If it isn't for education it is just stupid and by the way most of them aren't good traders - they just make money by people like you who take the same trades as they do so their CFD scam platforms can make big bank by the commissions and spread

Nope. I have enough to worry about with my own book. I do leave CNBC on or sometimes Bloomberg TV, but just for the noise and the occasional urgent headline.

trying to stop doing this actually

I used to but not more.

Straight path to FOMO. Trading is a lonely, boring and stressful job.

Sometimes to stay focused so I don't make impulsive trades out of boredom.

I used to have FSP on while I traded but these days I’m in and out in around 20 minutes so by the time I think about it I’m already done. I trade with my discord buddies more these days. (Button on my profile if anyone needs a great group of futures traders)

I do and find it useful to hear their read on the market (which doesn’t always align with mine) I usually turn it off if I find myself on the losing side whilst they are catching a trend. There are pros and cons, but like having “colleagues” and helps with the loneliness of the job. It has also helped with my discipline and patience seeing someone else sit out chop / wait for the set up too.

No. They mess me up. If I trust them I usually do terrible. They are not always right. You have enough going on

I used to but they become a distraction, and can influence what youre doing that can go against whatever method you trade. Its nice as far as second set of eyes if you were already thinking of getting in or are in and they jump in too, but I think its dangerous for people to take trades copying what streamers do. Some make a lot of money and treat it like the wild west jumping in and out with an oh well attitude. Keep in mind they get paid for being affiliate, discord, courses etc, so their trading is being funded by others & viewers/followers which is why its so easy to take those risky trades, its not their money theyre risking its "yours".

If it's futures trading, the Power Trading Group daily livestream is solid for NQ. Patient and disciplined. Otherwise just some chill lofi music.
