On my social media feeds, I have a number of people who class themselves as trading psychologists. That is individuals who purport to have particular expertise in the field of trading psychology. My expectation would be that these people’s feeds would be full of advice on things such as building resilience, coping with losses, understanding and recognising mania both in groups and yourself, and any range of topics relating to performance imporivement.
If that would have been your expectation then you are as incorrect as me since their feeds consist of conspiracy theories about algorithmic trading, magic pivot points, and predictions about where instruments are going. To be honest I really shouldn’t be surprised about this since I was asked many decades ago by a world renowned trading psychologist if I could program them a zero-lag moving average -I had to tell them that was price.
And that is priceless
