        With the growth of financial-behavioral hypotheses and conducting numerous studies to identify the effect of behavioral biases, one of the areas that has been considered by researchers is the field of research related to momentum strategy.The purpose of this study is investigating the disposition effect and anchoring bias separately and in combination with each other to impact momentum profits ad the role of retail investors in this relationship. The statistical population of the study includes companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange and the statistical sample includes 136 companies during the years 2007 to 2020. In this study, the effect of disposition effect has been calculated using the approach of Greenblatt and Han (2005) and Frazzini (2006) and the anchorage bias according to the method of George and Hwang (2004). The methodology of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) has also been used to calculate momentum profits.To test the research hypotheses, the five-factor model of Fama and French (2015) has been used. The results of testing the research hypotheses show that the disposition effect increases the momentum profit. Anchoring bias also leads to an increase in momentum profit. Another result of the research indicates that the interaction effect of anchoring bias and the disposition effect while these two reinforce each other, is also associated with an increase in momentum profit. Finally, when anchoring bias and disposition effect work together, the presence of a high percentage of retail investors increases momentum profits. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is to investigate the informational uncertainty as a criterion to explain stock returns by a behavioral approach to the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The informational uncertainty criteria include the book value to market value (BV / MV), company age (Age), the size of the entity (MV), lowest price to the highest price of the stock ratio (LHR), the standard deviation of stock returns (STD) and the standard deviation of operating cash flow (CFVOLA). To investigate this issue a main hypothesis and four sub-hypotheses developed for this purpose and data of 99 companies of Tehran Stock Exchange was analyzed for the period 2007 to 2014. Results show that for all the variables except for STD (standard deviation of stock returns), by increasing the degree of informational uncertainty, stock returns trend increases for winning portfolios.   Manuscript profile

        After the global crisis of 2008 and the severe fluctuations of financial markets around the world, the study of investor behavior has received more attention in the field of behavioral finance, and investors' emotions have been one of the key factors determining market movements. Behavioral finance is an evolving field that studies how and what. In this context, it seems important to study the role of emotions such as fear, greed, expectation, as well as the impact of the unconscious mind and beliefs in shaping investment decisions and its impact on market efficiency.

Also, structural equation modeling or partial least squares method was used for data analysis.The findings of this research show that there is a positive and significant relationship between overconfidence biases and representation with the perceived efficiency of the market and investors' decisions, as well as a negative and significant relationship between familiarity with market efficiency and investors' decisions. Yes, but the significance of the relationship between these two variables with reliance bias was not confirmed. Manuscript profile

        Most of the financial theories are based on the fact that people act rationally when faced with economic events. This hypothesis is the main basis of the efficient market hypothesis. However, behavioral researches ignore this basic hypothesis and shows that investors have behavioral biases when making decisions about investment issues. The present study tries to investigate the effect of financial literacy on the behavioral biases including representiveness and anchoring and their effect on the performance of investors. For this purpose, information related to 509 investors in Tehran Stock Exchange was collected through a questionnaire, and for analysis, after designing the conceptual model, non-parametric modeling of structural equations and PLS software were used. The results of this research showed that the increase in financial literacy reduces the behavioral biases of representiveness and anchoring among investors. Reducing the behavioral biases of representiveness and anchoring increases and improves the performance of investors in the Tehran Stock Exchange. On the other hand, the results of the research showed that representiveness behavioral bias has a significant effect on anchoring bias, which means that people who are subject to representiveness bias are also likely to be subject to anchoring bias.

        The Financial market analysis is an important issue that influences investors' decisions. This paper developed the stock pricing model by comparing the predicted stock price based on the anchoring and adjustment theory and the real stock price through collecting and analyzing the initial information and data of 122 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 2011 to 2019. The results of this study show the effectiveness of the anchoring and adjustment theory based on the separation of stock return components and measuring the irrationality coefficient and emotional reactions of investors' decisions in stock prices. Accordingly, the limitations of investors 'ability to process information seem to affect the level of use of reasoning and rationality in decision-making and the effect of bounded rationality through the irrationality and limited attention on stock pricing. Therefore, it is expected that knowledge about the process of bounded rationality based on the rational bounded of investors and the behavioral biases resulting from the irrational part of their thinking, will provide a good explanation for the process of changes in financial markets. This can provide both profit opportunities and costs in investment management so that it can be used in modeling, analysis and investmentstrategies. Manuscript profile
