Our Trading Team use many forms of analysis to keep ahead of the market - our team is multi-disciplinary with skills covering financial market analysis, economics, psychology, neurology, cybernetics, astrophysics, statistics, quantum physics, political philosophy and logic.
In recent years, we have noticed that it has become increasingly important to undertake Psychological Profiling (PP) of the key individuals in the markets that we trade. The value of such profiling is that it enables our analysts to predict how an individual might react to a given set of circumstances. This obviously provides a trading edge.
We are all a complex mixture of Personality Styles and Disorders. Although we may possess individually unique traits and attitudes, there are holistic generalisations that might be applied to, for example, all individuals suffering from Obsessive/ Compulsive Personality Disorder. Because of this, PP is a critical part of our trading armoury with respect to sports, political and financial markets.
In a future post, we will provide our PPs of a few characters who are about to leave centre stage. From politics, Tony Blair; from football, Fabian Barthez and from globalised capitalism, Rupert Murdoch.
We're with Sun Tzu on this matter - know your enemy.
