Abstract
• We analyze how internal characteristics and an external factor are related to the disposition effect
• Internal characteristics: • one is gender, remains fixed over the lifetime.• The other is age that changes over the lifetime.• External factor is product type: electronic- and
financial-sector index futures contract.

Abstract
• Electronic sector: ever-changing nature, compete with the world-wide competitor.
• Financial sector: more conservative investors, compete mostly domestically.

Abstract• We show that women and mature
traders, compared with their male and younger counterparts, exhibit a stronger disposition effect.
• The effect is also stronger among traders who trade the financial-sector futures contract than those who trade the electronic- sector futures contract.

Internal biological characteristics: gender and age
External factor: two specific types of futures products
Behavioral bias: disposition effect

Introduction
• Rules from Commodity Research Bureau (CRB), the most familiar ones for the successful traders are “cut your losses short” and “let profits run.
• But most of investors behave just the opposite. They exhibit the disposition effect, the tendency to hold onto losses too long but realize gains too readily.
![Page 7: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction
• Going beyond the aggregate investor approach, we track the trade-by-trade history of each individual,
• How variations in internal biological characteristics such as gender and age affect trader’s behavior
![Page 8: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Introduction
• We further investigate how external factors also play a role in the disposition effect.
• The electronic sector index versus financial sector index futures —with different volatility nature and attract different traders.

Literature Review• Disposition Effect (in stock market)• Kahneman and Tversky (1979)• Shefrin and Stateman (1985)• Odean (1998), Barber and Odean (2000), and Dhar and
Zhu (2006) look at retail investors of a US discount brokerage house
• Garvey and Murphy (2004) examine 15 proprietary stock traders,
• Feng and Seasholes (2005): individual level• Barber et al. (2007) analyze four types of investors
(individuals, corporations, dealers, and foreign investors) in Taiwan;
![Page 10: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Literature Review• Disposition Effect• Relatively few in futures market:• Heisler (1994) (retail), Locke and Mann (2005)
(professional floor) and Frino et al. (2004) (local traders)
• Frino et al. (2004), Locke and Mann (2005),
![Page 11: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Literature Review• Gender issue:• Barber and Odean (2001) and Agnew et al. (2003) that
men trade more actively than women, • A large amount of research in sociology and
psychology has revealed gender differences in the perception of risk associated with risky behaviors, various hazards, and dangerous activities (e.g., Spigner et al. (1993), Flynn et al. (1994), Boverie et al. (1995) etc.
• Campbell (2006) for an extensive review of the literature on gender differences in investor behavior.
![Page 12: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Literature Review• Age issue:• Risk tolerance decreases with age, Mclnish
(1982) and Hallahan et al. (2004).• Xiao and Anderson (1997) and Donkers and
Van Soest (1999) find a positive relationship.• Many other studies (e.g., Cutler (1995),
Sunden and Surette (1998), and Van de Venter and Michayluk (2009) find little or no relationship
![Page 13: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Data• Tracking the trade-by-trade transaction
histories, individual traders on the Taiwan Futures Exchange.
• Two different characteristic underlying assets: Electronic and Financial Sectors, mature between January 2003 and December 2004.
![Page 14: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Data
• In total, there are 65,631 traders trading TE and 71,896 trading TF.
• We further require that the traders trade more than ten days over the sample period and have more than ten roundtrips.
• 18,172 TE traders and 22,950 TF traders meet these criteria.
![Page 15: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Methodology
• We calculate, after each trade, all the necessary statistics such as the open interests (OIs), weighted average costs, and realized and unrealized gains/losses.
• We exclude institutional and proprietary traders and focus only on trades that are executed by individual traders.

![Page 16: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Methodology• Originate from Odean (1998) proportion of
gains realized (PGR) and proportion of losses realized (PLR)
• We construct the proportion of offsets that result in a realized gain, called proportion of positive offset (PPO),
• and proportion of offsets that lead to a realized loss, called proportion of negative offset (PNO).

![Page 17: An Examination of the Relationship between the Disposition Effect and Gender, Age, and Product Type Presenter: Teng Yuan Cheng](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061607/56649ea25503460f94ba6752/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Methodology• By examining PPO and PNO at individual level we can
further investigate whether and how it varies among traders.
• If PPO>PNO , the disposition effect exists, the trader is more inclined to offset her position when doing so results in a realized gain while loath to offset if it leads to a realized loss.

Variables• Note:• Disposition Effect = PPO – PNO.• Profit Per Contract = Cumulative net trading profit ( after
transaction cost) over total trading volume• Volume Per Day = Total trading volume over trading days• Tenure = last trading date less open account date (by months)• Age = trader’s age in years from birth date to the last trading date
in years• Gender = 0 for male; 1 for female.• DTE-TF =0 for trading TE; 1, TF• DBoth= 0 for trading only TE or TF; 1 for trading both TE and TF• Dprofit=0 for profitable traders; 1, loss traders

Result• Volume per day: negative impact on
disposition effect• Tenure is not a significant factor in this test.• Age: Mature traders show stronger
disposition effect tendency than younger traders
• Gender: Female traders show stronger disposition effect tendency than male traders

Result
• DTE-TF : Financial futures traders show stronger disposition effect tendency than electronic futures traders
• Dboth: Traders who trade both electronic and financial futures show stronger disposition effect tendency than those who trade only one futures
