Poor emotional regulation skills and executive function, perhaps.

Yes, that's ADHD, and I can tell you that playing the stock market for income will lay bare every single thing that is wrong with you. Becoming a good trader turns into just becoming a better person, adopting better coping mechanisms and developing extreme discipline.

And that doesn't happen in just a year or two. I recommend people to start off paper trading for years before putting down any real money.
