According to the above article the higher your testosterone - the better you are at trading... so we should be engaging in activities that stimulate the production of testosterone....like...


Physical exercise!
Sexual gratification!

the best traders are psychopaths.

emotionally impaired people are better at speculating on large stakes because they don't let their emotions cloud their rationality.

there's a book 'mean markets and lizard brains' which goes into it.

Psychopaths could be best financial traders?

LONDON (Reuters) - "Wanted: psychopaths to make a killing in the markets."

Such an advert will not be appearing in the world's newspapers any time soon, but it may have a ring of truth after research revealed the best wheeler-dealers could well be "functional psychopaths."

So what you are saying is to be the best trader I can be.. I need to be an emotionally crippled (or brain damaged) testosterone fueled machine.
