Immediately yes, it will keep them in gear, but it will have no consequence because the output would come forcibly delayed, so the result will come not so immediately. Hence being anxious has no payout and being cool does.

Wouldn't be that with time, the next generation of traders for example, they will relax more when things feel bearish and put the "normal gear" when it feels bullish?

That's assuming people are way more rational and less emotional than they really are.

Actually no because the output (reward or penalty) is not selective on your rationale. You can be bullish or bearish. The the input and the output are both allowed, just working at asymmetrical speeds (slower for bearish).

Wouldn't overall cause a "sustentation effect" similar to the asymmetrical speed in the airflow in the wings of a plane?

I'm not convinced myself of this, but the idea made me curious and maybe worth of experimenting with in a limited context?
