1. Three-quarters of dealers rated themselves above average, which is consistent with results from other psychological studies of overconfidence. Statistically, only 50% should have rated themselves as above average without the effect of overconfidence.

2. Dealers also overestimate their professional success, an effect known as the “better-than-average-effect”.

3. Trading experience eliminates the reluctance to realize losses.

4. Individual investors who think that their investment skills or past performance are above trade more frequently.

5. By examining over 400 traders with trading experience over 12 years at a bank, currency dealers show two types of overconfidence. They tend to overestimate the precision of their information and their personal competence.

6. The most senior traders are no less overconfident than their more junior colleagues.

7. In theory, irrational traders will be driven out of asset markets by trading losses. However, the examination of 400 experienced traders indicates that overconfident currency traders are not driven out of the market despite losses.
