"A fascinating trend emerging from France is the heavy rotation into systemic, rules-based trading. Managing risk across continuous 24-hour markets is a primary concern for the local trading desks operating across borders. Integrating physiological data like cortisol tracking into their trading routine is becoming the new gold standard here."
