Biases That Affect How You Trade Your System

(curated from "Trade your way to Financial Freedom" by Van Tharp)

1. Gambler’s Fallacy Bias

People assume that the probability goes up for a win after a long losing streak or up for a loss after a long winning streak. 2. Conservative-with-profits-and-risky-with-losses Bias

People want to take profits quickly & give their losses some room. This gives them the illusion of being right, but what they are really doing is cutting their profits short and letting their losses run.

There’s a person who has a respectable corporate job, decent earnings, nice family & some good savings kitty parked in FD which he wants to invest in equities now. But he's lacking in financial knowledge & has no time for market research. Then there’s a full-time trader. All his working hours are dedicated to equity market research, trading & investing.

Some hard facts one should be aware of.

The only Life Insurance Policy is “Term Policy” where u get a lump sum for the price of the premium paid. All other bundled policies are scam. They neither give good cover not good returns. Whenever these bundled policies are sold, they are marketed as “Invest Rs 50,000 per year for 10 years & u will get back Rs 7.5 lakhs after 15 years.” Here the cover will be for mere Rs 5 lakhs & the return on so called investment is merely 4%.
