PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICALLY ENHANCED FINANCIAL MARKET TRADING SYSTEMS AND SECURITIES EXCHANGES

摘要

Trading within the context of the financial markets is characterized by decisions that are made between buyer and seller that either conclude with a reward or loss. Thusly, trading can be considered a performance-based activity wherein one's success is directly impacted by one's performance. Like any other performance-based activity, trading can be negatively impacted by psychophysiological stress. The problem with conventional trading systems, securities exchanges and the methods and processes they employ is that they do not address the psychophysiological states of the participant and thusly ignore the impact stress can have on the trading process. This exemplary system facilitates improved decision making and mitigates loss during trading activities with the integration of non-invasive, psychophysiological, performance-enhancement tools and techniques embedded within a comprehensive trading and securities exchange system. The exemplary systems, methods, interfaces and software demonstrated herewith enhances the financial market decision making process for both the buyer and seller by quantifying their psychophysiological response to the opportunities and threats of the financial markets in real-time. This process of quantifying psychophysiological response serves to inform advanced decision making assessment, training, monitoring and evaluation toward the objective of attaining a state of consistent peak performance, thereby providing for improved real rates of return for traders, investors, portfolio managers and fund managers alike.
