Whether you’re naked and hungry on the savannah, driving in traffic or at the controls of your favorite video game, being slow to react can get you eaten, injured or splattered across the screen. While we intuitively know this, a new study offers dramatic evidence of how much speed of response still matters: In men and women from ages 20 to 59, slower than average reaction time turned out to be a pretty good predictor of premature death.

To my mind this is the opposite of what a trader wants to do.
Shooting from the hip and knee-jerk reactions, as far as I know,
don’t help your trading.
Being able to take a breath, take a moment to asses and then
make a measured response is counter intuitive, yet, as far
as I know is the way to greater trading profits.

‘Go slow’ in the bedroom
‘React fast’ to life threatening situations
‘Be mechanical and consistent’ with your trading

If my hips are shooting and my knees are jerking then I’m probably just dancing.
