Overconfidence in Trading

Overconfidence bias is an magnified belief in your competence as a trader. Any trader who finds themselves thinking that they know the business inside-out and that they have nothing more to learn and that profits are theirs for the taking, may well suffer from an overconfidence bias. 

Dangers of Overconfidence 
Overconfident traders tend to get themselves into trouble by trading too frequently or by placing tremendously large trades with the plan of making a killing. It’s not inevitable, but an overconfident investor invites misfortune. 

Are You Overconfident? 
If you want to identify whether you have a tendency to be overconfident, ask yourself, “Have I ever delayed or reversed a decision because I couldn’t accept that I was wrong?” Likewise, you could ask yourself, “Have I ever placed more on a trade than what I know is really sensible?” 

Overcoming Overconfidence 
One way to overcome an overconfidence bias is to stick to a strict set of risk management rules. These rules should limit the number of markets you invest in, the number of Contracts for difference you trade at one time, how much you are willing to risk on any one trade and how much of your account are you willing to lose before you take a break from trading and re-evaluate your trading strategy. 

Jea Yu, Way of the Trade -Book Review

WAY OF THE TRADEHigh frequency traders are a fact of life in the markets. They justify their activity by claiming that they provide liquidity. But, Jea Yu argues in Way of the Trade: Tactical Applications of Underground Trading Methods for Traders and Investors (Bloomberg/Wiley, 2013), the algos/HFTs generate volume and magnify momentum “by luring in and trapping the greatest number of participants on the WRONG side of the trade so they can kidnap all the liquidity and ransom it out to the highest bidders. … They don’t steal liquidity, just as kidnappers don’t steal their victims. They just borrow long enough to extort the highest prices for the return.” (p. 15)
Whatever we might think of high frequency traders (and the debate rages on), retail traders simply don’t have the firepower to compete directly with them. They need new tools to navigate a treacherous landscape.
Jea Yu, cofounder of UnderGround Trader.com and the author of three earlier books, introduces the reader to the ideal trader for these conditions: the hybrid market predator who has “the precision timing of execution, risk averse scaling, and technical analysis of the daytrader, the premeditative assertiveness tethered by patience and risk management of the swing trader, and the relentless investigative fundamental prowess of the investor. Whereas all three roles have butted heads in the past, now they are components that converge to manifest into a more efficient market predator that can seamlessly shift between skillsets to adapt to changing landscapes, climate, and terrain.” (p. 43) Of course, as we know, easier said than done.
