Behavioral Science Project: looking for your trading history

Discussion in 'Journals' started by extraMileage, May 25, 2022.

  1. Hi all -

    I am working on a personal project applying behavioral science analytics to individual investors. This is strictly a personal project at this time and I'm curious about how unconscious biases can impact our (investment/trading) behavior. Before analyzing large scale data sets, I need to do this at the micro level with maybe 10-20 individual data sets.

    What I need: data!
    - I can study my own history, but that only gets me so far
    - I need more data sets than that

    What I can offer:
    - Once I've done my research and analysis, I will come back to you a report of any findings and insights on your investing/trading behavior.
    - Maybe they are insightful, maybe they are not. We will see and you can judge.

    To be clear:
    - I am not looking to learn your trading strategies, nor copy your investment strategies or emulate anything you are doing. I just want to learn human behavior
    - no personal info!

    More Details:
    - I would need a data file download from your historical trades (scrubbed of personal data of course), the more meta data (e.g. commissions, fees) the better
    - at least 1 years' worth (the longer the better)
    - more suitable for "active" investors (if you're a Boglehead with a 2 ETF portfolio, you've already won the mind game)
    - equities or options for now (more exotic stuff for another time)
    - manual trades (not algo based)

    Please feel free to PM me if this is of interest.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ACTUALLY a lot of us are doing that \
    except few would measure more commissions as better\LOL even though a few daytraders could make a case for that more fees the better/LOL.
    I do like the idea of more SEC exit fees generally speaking but i wish they had not raised rates a bit, so dont get me wrong. I seldom do PM:caution::caution:
