Coin Flip Theory and Trading

What is a coin flip theory? When You flip a coin You know that there is only two possibilities - heads or tails. You have 50% chance that You will get it right. When You flip the coin 100 times You should get the same ratio or very close to that. You still know that you have 50% chance of being right. What You don't know is the sequence of the results. It won't be necessarily one time heads and one time tails. This is the important part of this theory that can be paralleled to trading. It is e…

More than anything, we’re crowd followers

I was reading an interesting article on what researchers are learning from big data on how shoppers behave. Buying and selling in financial markets isn’t much different from the grocery store in many ways so there are plenty of lessons to take away. This one, in particular, was striking.
