Abstract
Decision making in trading can be compromised when traders are under stress. In this paper is presented a case study where ambient intelligence has been used to provide traders with self-awareness of their stress levels. We illustrate how using specific stress sensors improved the results of the trading process by avoiding bad decision making at crucial moments.
