Overcoming Confirmation Bias in Trading

Ever noticed how sometimes in trading, we see only what we want to see? This could be the sneaky work of confirmation bias, a subtle but significant hurdle on your path to trading mastery. 

  • Define bias: Recognize confirmation bias in your trading.
  • Spot the signs: Identify its influence on your decisions.
  • How to counteract confirmation bias: Use strategies to neutralize its impact.

Define bias

Confirmation bias is the tendency to favor information that confirms your existing beliefs or hypotheses, often leading to skewed decision-making. In trading, this bias can cause you to over-focus on market signals that support your current positions or predictions while ignoring contradictory evidence. This can lead to missed opportunities or holding onto losing positions for too long.

Spot the signs

The first step to overcoming confirmation bias is recognizing its signs:

  • Selective information gathering: Seeking out news or data that supports your trading decisions while dismissing opposing views.

  • Interpreting ambiguity positively: Viewing uncertain or neutral market signals as confirmation of your strategy.

  • Overconfidence in decision-making: Feeling disproportionately confident in trades that align with your preconceptions, despite market volatility.

How to counteract confirmation bias

Here are a few ways to avoid confirmation bias in your trading decisions:

  • Diverse information sources: Actively seek out and consider information from a range of sources, including those that challenge your current viewpoint.

  • Pre-trade checklist: Create a checklist that includes objective criteria and market indicators to consult before executing trades, ensuring decisions are data-driven.

  • Post-trade review: Regularly review your trades to identify patterns of bias, learning from both successes and missteps to refine your strategy.
