I don't think candletrader is wrong. He's doing what he needs to do to support himself. It is not a cause and effect chain. People aren't dieing because candletrader is making trades. The market is moving because that is what it does -- no matter what the circumstance. If it goes up while others are dieing, that is just the way of it and that is the nature of society / economics, etc.
If you have personal problems with trading while we are at war, then sit it out and wait. However, don't assume that there is something innately immoral about trading throughout this conflict.
Should I stop going to work because of this? This is how I make my money, likewise, that is how a trader makes his money -- by trading.
Chill out. If innocent people die from our bombs, it will eventually be far less than the amount of innocent people Saddam would have tortured and killed.
