Now that the world has far-reaching access to technology, does AI provide any relevant edge when creating a trading system? This coming Monday, May 15th at 12 PM ET, join instructor RJ Hixson for a live and interactive webinar where we ask that very question.

One bias that keeps people from developing a good trading system is called the representation bias. We tend to imagine that what we see or expect to see is typical of what can and/or will occur. Thus, if you observe a pattern in the market, you expect it to occur. If you develop some concept about the market, you will look for data to support that concept in the market, and you will probably find it whether it exists or not.

"A high proportion of people take their time and exchange it for money. Enter income tax. A sizeable chunk of your money is now the governments’ money but you still get to spend the rest whichever way you please.

While you weigh your responsible investment decisions you store your time minus taxes in a safe place, like a bank. Out of the blue, a banking crisis evolves because interest rates were, shall we say, “slightly” manipulated.

You feel your feelings when you wonder, “What if all of my time gets lost in the bank?”"
