Trading Mindset: Overcoming Cognitive Bias to Improve Performance


Listen Later

In this episode I’m diving into some of the most common cognitive biases that can affect traders: loss aversion, confirmation bias, and familiarity bias.

First, let’s discuss confirmation bias, the tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing beliefs. This can lead to a lack of objectivity and an inability to consider alternative viewpoints. I’ll discuss ways to mitigate confirmation bias and make more balanced, unbiased decisions.

Next, let’s delve into loss aversion, the tendency to avoid losses and seek out gains. This bias can lead to poor risk management, as traders may hold onto losing positions for too long, cut winners short or be too hesitant to take on new risks. I’ll explore strategies for overcoming loss aversion.

Finally, let’s talk about familiarity bias, the tendency to favour familiar markets or strategies over those that may be less familiar but potentially more logical choices. We’ll discuss how to overcome this bias and make more diversified, well-rounded trading decisions.

Join me as I explore these common cognitive biases and learn how to overcome them to make better decisions in the markets.
