Chapter 1
Orientation note
61
Given the exhaustive nature of these topics, I tried looking for ideas on how best I can structure this module, and
what chapters to include, and to my surprise, there are no contents related to these topics. Of course, you can
find tonnes of content online, but they are all fragmented and lack continuity. This gives us both the opportunity
and the responsibility to develop some dependable content around these topics, centered on the Indian context.
We will have to work as a team here – we will take up the responsibility to post the content and you will have to
take up the responsibility to enrich it by posting queries and comments.
1. Risk Management
2. Trading psychology
Risk management techniques vary based on how you are positioned in the market. For example, if you have a
single position in the market, then your approach to risk management is very different compared to the risk
management techniques of multiple positions, which is again completely different compared to the risk
management techniques of a portfolio.
I’m guessing these topics will give you a completely different perspective on risk and how one can manage risk.
Further, we would be discussing trading psychology both from a trader and an investor’s perspective. The
discussion would largely involve cognitive biases, mental models, common pitfalls, and the thought process
which leads you these pitfalls. Here are some of the topics we would be discussing in this section –
1. Anchoring bias
2. Regency bias
3. Confirmation bias
4. Bandwagon effect
5. Loss aversion
6. Illusion of control
7. Hindsight bias
Of course, we will build upon this as we proceed. This is going to be an exciting discussing these topics.
Stay tuned.
