In optimal conditions as Andrei explained the reassurance factor is a pivotal marker for conditioning the mind to high risk-reward decisions. What happens when the environment is sub-optimal and the subject is under heavy scrutiny, economic depression, etc?

Environment conditions are real and each subject has characteristics which ultimately enable or hinder responsive actions. In the securities sector there is the common (FOMO) effect also known as, “fear of missing out.” This psychological barrier abates the optimal point of entry to a catastrophic scale in time, judgement and perception which is the tumbling cause of other decisive factors.

The takeaway is that humans are calibrated by regression, state of living conditions, social conditions etc. The human compass is a peripheral conception of cognitive predictability, which is also a resistance to our instinct of survival.
