Can I have some Serotonin please

Most traders want to excel in their trades. It is the unwritten rule of the capital market game. It is also to increase the pie for the proprietary account or the client account. Which ever way the market moves the trader needs to be on top.

Not all traders are aggressive and as in any field you always have the so called laggards. It is always good to be the top of the line metro sexual alpha male.

It has always intruded me if I can find out what kind of mentality these people possess at the work floor by following some of the common and often ignored traits that people display at the work place. A few pointers on this.

Talk: If the person is extremely loud and talkative. You might very well find that they are aggressive in the field and the anxiety brings them to be very loud to get things across to the other pesron. Being loud can be taken as a symbol of authority. More often when there is no one to question you. A more subtle and non-aggressive person on the other hand is bound to make a softer landing approach and in a more unhurried manner.A relaxed approach is bound to have more safer than rough handling.

Walk: In a similar manner the most of the aggressive person more around quickly as the time that they have is not enough or at least thats the signal that you tend to get across. It is make or break at any moment for these kind of people.The cool cat trader on the other hand takes his time and is more risk averse and is more often found leaning towards the safer side. This type have a good risk management in place that at the slightest hint they wind up the position. Even thought the upside is unlimited the down side is also limited.

We can immidiatly figure out when a aggresive guy have fallen out of place. There will be a sudden breaking effect that shows up. You can feel that extra bit of lethargy in place with the person.The area becomes gloomy as the sound bytes die out. The way things shape up the unlimited risk would have hit like thunder bolt out of the blue.So if you could watch out you can probably see it coming.

So it if you get a chance do check this out and let me know the results. Well you make ask what Serotonin has got to do with behaviour.Well higher level of Serotonin plays a very important role in your behaviour pattern. A time is not far away when we can have it as a pill !!
