The Overtrader
Trades too often — quantity over quality.
You're always in something. Not out of revenge or panic — out of an itch to act. But Barber & Odean's landmark study found the most active traders earned 11.4% vs the market's 17.9%: every extra trade beyond your edge is a small tax on your account. More clicks ≠ more money.
Action bias + overconfidence. Overtrading = taking trades your strategy never generated.

- +Never misses a real setup
- +Fast to execute
- −Overtrading dilutes quality
- −Higher costs and slippage
- −Fatigue and tilt from volume

It is an excellent mirror and starting point — your true, data-driven profile comes from your actual trade history in the app.
