High morning levels of testosterone can help city traders to make more than just average profits, as per a research conducted at the University of Cambridge.

The involved scientists hypothesized that the improvement in terms of performance can be attributed to the fact that testosterone is known for increasing the appetite for risk and confidence - two factors that are good enough for augmenting the performance of a trader.

From News-Medical.Net:

The researchers also speculated that if testosterone continued to rise or became chronically elevated, it could begin to have the opposite effect on a trader’s profitability by increasing risk-taking to unprofitable levels. Previous studies have shown that administered testosterone can lead to irrational decision-making. They believe that this is because testosterone has also been found to lead to impulsivity and sensation seeking, to harmful risk taking, and in extreme cases (among users of anabolic steroids) to euphoria and mania.

Testosterone may therefore underlie a secondary consequence of the ‘winner effect’ in which a previous win in the markets leads to increased, and eventually irrational, risk taking in the next round of trading.

The study noted that naturally produced steroids in the body, especially cortisol and testosterone, can have a positive influence when it comes to finding as to how and why people caught in crashes often find it tedious to make a rational decision.
