Introduction

Trading, unlike any other business activity requires the successful trader to make many many decisions about a constantly shifting stream of information, all day, every day. Traders fail and triumph on the quality and reliability of their decision making.

Claradan has developed an approach that rapidly equips our clients with the ability to solve genuine trading and investment problems.

                                                                                     “Traders trade, coaches coach.”

Approach

Strategy Centric – The importance of using strategy not only to measure performance but as a tool to alleviate both impulsive decisions and behavioural biases.

A Five Point Behavioural Framework – Initially concentrating focus on five key behavioural drivers allows us to quickly build knowledge and make critical changes.

Tools and Methods

Performance Identification – Where and how performance is being derived.

Impulsive Behaviour V’s Strategy – Help clients identify what leads them to impulsive behaviour, whether decisions are driven by strategy or impulsive behaviour and whether the outcome was positive, neutral or negative.

Behavioural Bias Identifier – What are the behavioural biases that may be influencing the design of your strategy and what individual biases may influence the execution of your strategy.
