S Williams

Anchored Trades dives deep into one of the most pervasive yet overlooked biases in trading—anchoring bias—and equips readers with the tools and knowledge needed to overcome it.
This groundbreaking book explores how anchoring bias distorts perceptions of value, influences price expectations, and impacts critical decisions like stop-loss placement, position sizing, and stock picking. By blending insights from behavioral finance , cognitive psychology , and neuroeconomics , this guide explains why traders often fixate on arbitrary reference points and how these habits lead to costly mistakes.
From understanding the science behind emotional trading behaviors to addressing challenges such as overconfidence and a lack of self-awareness , Anchored Trades provides actionable strategies for achieving rational, objective decision-making. Readers will discover cutting-edge innovations like AI-driven analytics platforms , algorithmic trading systems , and real-time market sentiment analysis designed to minimize bias and enhance performance.
But this isn’t just about smarter trades—it’s also about fostering trust and accountability in financial markets. The book delves into the ethical implications of biased trading decisions, debates around manipulative pricing tactics, and regulatory frameworks aimed at ensuring transparency and investor protection . With principles rooted in Kantian ethics , it emphasizes fairness, inclusivity, and respect for universal values in trading practices.
