What this lesson covers
Hindsight bias is the sense that a move was obvious once you can see it on the chart, and it is everywhere on social media. This lesson makes a sharp distinction between traders and forecasters, the latter being people who explain moves that have already happened with great confidence and treat that as evidence they can predict the next one. The problem for anyone learning is that hindsight makes charts look far more readable than they are in real time, which sets an unrealistic standard and encourages overconfidence. The lesson explains how the bias forms, why reviewing your own charts after the event is misleading unless you are careful, and how to study past price in a way that builds skill rather than illusion.
