Thanks you for helping me to write a better dissertation. It is a sensible topic and I could have choosen an easier one, but I would rather write about something harder which I am interested in than to gain a better mark by writing some easy. The objective of my dissertation is to try to find a pattern and link between "rogue traders", emotions and regulations. I am really interested in why traders go rogue and break regulations. It is because of greed, chance of success or is it the system itself who pushes them to the edge. I hoped to find some common pattern from traders and bankers how they deal with their emotions and regulation with my questions in hope that it could be linked to why traders go rogue. Thanks again for taking your time to answer the questions.

Dear Banker and traders, I am a third-year Management student in Royal Holloway, University of London. I am currently writing a dissertation as a part of my BSc degree. The topic is on risk taking and speculative trading. I am writing to you to ask you whether it would be possible to discuss some aspects of your wide experience in this area. It would be extremely beneficial to the progress of my research if we could discuss some aspects of your experience in this area in this post. You do not to answer all of the questions and I am very grateful for every response. Questions: 1. Do you act sometime on instinct when making a deal or do you strictly follow the regulation? 2. Please give a small example If you acted on your instinct before, when and why it occurs. 3. In your opinion, can banker/traders become successful by only following the regulations? (Please give a reason why you think this way) 4. It is common sense that traders/bankers are under a lot of pressure and have to deal with stressful situations. How do you deal with it? 5. Do stressful situations and pressure increase your performance? 6. What is your opinion on the security regulations within your financial institution? (Are they more of a interference or help for surveillance for you) 7. Have you ever breached a security regulation? If yes, why? Thank you very much
