Cognitive Bias Audit

Q: How does the Bias Scan detect these distortions in real-time?

Our system uses: 1) **Decision pattern analysis** comparing choices against historical norms, 2) **Journaling sentiment algorithms** detecting linguistic bias indicators, 3) **Trade timing correlation matrices** revealing impulsive patterns, 4) **Position sizing deviations** from risk models, and 5) **Biofeedback triggers** (heart rate spikes during certain decisions). Machine learning flags anomalies with 89% accuracy in validation studies.

Q: What mitigation techniques do you provide for loss aversion?

For loss aversion, we offer: 1) **Pre-commitment devices** locking in stop losses, 2) **Loss reframing exercises** converting fear to opportunity, 3) **Small-loss exposure therapy** building tolerance, 4) **Asymmetric position sizing** for risk control, and 5) **Neurofeedback conditioning** reducing amygdala activation. These techniques decrease loss avoidance behaviors by 55-72% in clinical trials.

Q: How do you combat confirmation bias in market analysis?

Our **Confirmation Interrupt Protocol** includes: 1) **Devil's advocate algorithms** generating counter-evidence, 2) **Blind analysis drills** evaluating setups without direction bias, 3) **Alternative hypothesis requirement** before trades, 4) **Cognitive diversity simulations** presenting opposing views, and 5) **Disconfirming evidence journals**. This builds neural pathways for balanced analysis.

Q: Can the Bias Scan be integrated into live trading workflows?

Yes. Our **Real-Time Bias Guard** provides: 1) **Pre-trade checklists** screening for common distortions, 2) **Cognitive load monitoring** triggering breaks during fatigue, 3) **Voice-command bias alerts** during analysis, 4) **Position review prompts** at volatility thresholds, and 5) **Automated journaling** with bias scoring. This creates continuous protection during trading sessions.

Q: What metrics track bias reduction progress over time?

We measure: 1) **Bias exposure frequency** decreasing across sessions, 2) **Decision consistency scores** under similar conditions, 3) **Journaling objectivity metrics**, 4) **Physiological regulation improvements** during stress, and 5) **Strategy adherence rates**. Progress dashboards show quantifiable neuroplasticity development through cognitive retraining.

Cognitive Bias Audit: Trading Psychology FAQ

Answers about our systematic detection and mitigation protocols for common trading distortions including loss aversion and recency bias.

What cognitive biases does your system specifically detect?

Our Bias Scan identifies 12 critical trading distortions: 1) Loss aversion (fearing losses more than valuing gains), 2) Confirmation bias (seeking supporting evidence), 3) Recency bias (overweighting recent events), 4) Overconfidence effect, 5) Anchoring (fixating on initial prices), 6) Gambler's fallacy, 7) Herd mentality, 8) Endowment effect (overvaluing held positions), 9) Availability heuristic, 10) Outcome bias, 11) Disposition effect, and 12) Sunk cost fallacy.
