Fear and Greed in Financial Markets: A Clinical Study of Day-Traders

Andrew W. Loy, Dmitry V. Repinz, and Brett N. Steenbargeryy
First Draft: December 27, 2004
Abstract
We investigate several possible links between psychological factors and trading performance
in a sample of 80 anonymous day-traders. Using daily emotional-state surveys over a ve-
week period as well as personality inventory surveys, we construct measures of personality
traits and emotional states for each subject and correlate these measures with daily normal-
ized prots-and-losses records. We nd that subjects whose emotional reaction to monetary
gains and losses was more intense on both the positive and negative side exhibited sig-
nicantly worse trading performance, and large sudden swings in emotional states seem
especially detrimental to cumulative prots-and-losses. Psychological traits derived from
a standardized personality inventory survey instrument do not reveal any specic \trader
personality prole", raising the possibility that trading skills may not necessarily be innate,
and that dierent personality types may be able to perform trading functions equally well
after proper instruction and practice.

The focus of the present book is once again
on the U.S. segment of the global foreign
exchange market. Chapters 1-3 describe the
structure of the market and how it has
changed. Chapters 4-6 comment on the main
participant groups and the instruments that
are traded. Chapters 7-8 look at foreign
exchange trading from a micro, rather than
macro, point of view�how an individual
bank or other dealing firm sees things.
Chapters 9-11 comment on some of the
broader issues facing the international
monetary system and how governments,
central banks, and market participants
operate within that system. This is followed by
an epilogue, emphasizing that there are many
unanswered questions, and that we can expect
many further changes in the period ahead,
changes that we cannot now easily predict.
