This YouTube video (Kardec Trader) explains how trading performance depends on emotion following an inverted-U (optimal arousal) curve: peak performance occurs at a moderate-to-high but appropriate level of emotion. Different traders reach that peak in different ways — some are hyper-aroused and need very high market activity (speaker cites "4 to 500% more trades per day") while others perform best in a calm, almost resting-heart-rate state; stress moves traders away from the peak and reduces performance.

Here's the relationship. Okay so here's this kind of upside down U curve. We've got performance and then like emotion, performance, emotion. So bottom line is your peak performance exists up here. This is where you are in the zone. So again you have a high amount of emotion but like the right amount of emotion. Now everybody experiences this state differently. Some are you know, kind of the bug eyed, know, kind of crackhead intense, right? They need tons of market activity, like 4 to 500% more trades per day because the market's just giving them just like constant and they're just, they're making a ton of money, right? There's, there's a lot of opportunity. Others more calm state, serene. You know you almost got to look heart rate wise, you know, almost like resting heart rate. You know when they're stressed they start to get a little bit performance drops.
