That's right - I've heard it said that the ratio of psychopaths to normal people are higher in CEO positions than any other profession. I'll bet day-trading wouldn't be far behind...and I actually wrote the bot because I was a terrible fear driven trader lol.

Indeed, CEO is the top profession for psychopaths:

however, accountants are the tenth least psychopathic profession. What makes a profession fit for psychopaths is not stress, but dishonesty. That's why the list starts with:

CEO
Lawyer
Media
Salesperson

I don't think daytrading is a good profession for a psychopath because there's nothing to be gained by lying.

Its not about lying its about recklessness.. something traders in ny and london thrive in. The more reckless thr better aslong as u dont lose your shirt then your a sucker.. until then keep playing the game.. they use bailout funding and tax payers and peoples retirement/investment funds to play this game so its not even theirs and they are reckless with it. Mayne thats why they dont care.
