Instintos de negociação

A psicologia de trading apresenta-nos diversos fatores psicológicos que podem ter impacto na tomada de decisões financeiras.

The concept further purports that these factors can result in behaviours like biased thinking, irrational choices, or subpar knee jerk actions. Trading psychology also highlights the significance of self-awareness, effective risk management, emotional regulation, and a balanced mindset to navigate the stress that trading evokes and make rational decisions.

 

Trading instincts are a key component of an individual’s trading psychology. They refer to those gut feelings or intuition that a trader often develops over time or through trading experience. They’re usually acquired through ongoing learning and practice, and require staying informed about market news and events, and economic indicators.

 

Para poder confiar nos seus instintos de negociação tem de ter um bom autoconhecimento. Tem de ser capaz de diferenciar entre uma decisão baseada em informações e dados lógicos e uma decisão baseada em emoções ou sentimentos. É saber que a linha que separa aquilo que é objetivo daquilo que é subjetivo é por vezes ténue e, para que possa tomar boas decisões, é fundamental que saiba separar uma da outra.

 

Trading instincts are typically impacted by 3 psychological phenomena. Let’s explore these in more detail.

Viés sensorial

Sensory bias is derived from the notion that we form an opinion using information that may be biased. We constantly gather data from multiple sources all around us. This action is what allows us to operate day to day.

 

Mas também contribui para a nossa aprendizagem. No entanto, nem tudo o que ouvimos é obrigatoriamente imparcial, mesmo quando acreditamos que sim. Isto é ainda mais verdade se estivermos expostos a uma opinião única sobre um determinado assunto ou evento, de forma continuada. Se nada contrariar esse ponto de vista, é provável que se forme uma opinião baseada apenas “num lado da história” e que um “facto” se torne numa parcialidade.

Evitar o vago

This concept refers to fear of the unknown. It is an action whereby we avoid something we don’t know, something unfamiliar, something that may (or may not) occur. In the world of trading, this type of behaviour may lead to a very low tolerance for risk, and thus unprofitable financial outcomes.

 

 

There are a variety of reasons that avoiding the vague comes about. Losing money may be one reason. Another lesser known reason is the fear of making money. This is because the trader may become scared that their gains will be lost, either through tax obligations or by other means, like aggressive market fluctuations.

Tangibilidade de antecipação

Normalmente, a tangibilidade de antecipação acontece quando o sentimento de antecipação se torna o ponto central e não o objetivo de alcançar o pretendido.


That feeling of anticipation can become so all-consuming, almost addictive, that the trader loses sight of achieving what they anticipated. Notably, anticipation is influenced not only by objective analysis but also by the collective psychology of market participants.
