$SKHYB : Regression Bias in Volume Gaps
A missed entry often feels like a personal failure. We anchor on the missing profit rather than the rule that guided us. This is regression bias. The brain wants to erase the friction of a valid decision just because the next bar moved against it.
Current Observation
$SKHYB trades below support at 128.37. The hourly direction is down. Relative volume sits at 2.27076. These are facts. They are not a verdict on your judgment.
The Bias Mechanism
When price breaks support, fear spikes. If you waited for a retest and it failed to return, regret takes over. You might abandon your stop-loss rule. You decide the next move is safe because you already missed the initial drop. This shifts from evidence to hope. You are no longer trading the market. You are trading your discomfort with inaction.
Practical Self-Check
- Write your entry rule on paper before the chart appears.
- If the setup invalidates, ask: Would I enter now, or am I just avoiding loss?
- Accept that some moves exclude you. That is normal.
Anchoring on what you did not earn corrupts the next trade. Volume at 2.7919e+06 confirms activity, but it does not confirm fairness. Stick to the process. The next signal will not care about your earlier hesitation.
Probabilistic market research, not a recommendation or guaranteed return.
Would you keep the same rule after missing a move?
