Realtime sensor monitoring correlation to technical analysis

Traders use as many tools as are available to improve their results. One of the most used tools is the technical analysis. Recent studies conclude how the direction of the prices is influenced by the psychological component of the own traders measured thought physiological variables. If traders' physiological variables are highly correlated with the market, and the market is analyzed with technical analysis, could the same analysis be applied to the trader's state?. This paper describes a possible application of the technical analysis techniques over the behavior of the trader. The behavior of the trader is monitored measuring physiological variables related to traders' stress through biometric sensors. Some tests are presented shown in a chart way that it is possible to see that the principles of technical analysis are applicable to the trader's state.
