Abstract
Whilst trading (buying/selling shares) in the stock market, the number of data streams that can be monitored has never been greater. Consequently, traders who do not have years of experience can become overwhelmed and miss multiple opportunities due to visual fatigue. This study investigates using sonification to utilise the auditory channel so that the user can focus primarily on technical analysis whilst still receiving information in a serendipitous peripheral fashion. A custom sonification tool was designed and built to enable NYSE index data to be sonified in real time. One pilot study was conducted during the testing phase with an additional user study of 5-10 participants to take place after. Through this study it was found that having a continuous stream of data allowed for the trader to have knowledge of the NYSE whilst focusing on cognitively-demanding tasks such as technical analysis and research into further opportunities in different stock exchanges.
