Anchoring bias is the tendency for traders to allow an initial piece of information to have a disproportionate influence on future decisions, regardless of its relevance. For example, research showed that individual's estimates of stock returns were significantly influenced by the starting value they were given – the 'anchor'. The best way to prevent anchoring bias in trading is by performing comprehensive research and analysis of the market to identify your own anchor.
