Factors Influencing Individual's Decision-making in Financial Markets

There has been an endless discussion on the efficient-market hypothesis between different academic schools. Many recent studies have opened up towards the paradigm shift in rational thinking problem. This thesis deals with the issue of asymmetric information interpretation during altered mental states. The purpose of this study is to discover the effect on agent's behaviour using a practical tool such as a daily trade plan. If traders succumb to irrationality, they probably make poor choices below their potential levels. Therefore the experiment was conducted with students of FM VŠE. The variables were measured before and after the intervention which was applying the trade plan. The additional data collection mapped the personal context of self-reflection and management of well-being. The results indicate the advantage of using the daily trade plan for manipulating the factors that can negatively influence the quality of decision-making
