Mature reflection of the EMH considering the evidence provided during the investment exercise. Please reflect on the Efficient Markets Hypothesis in light of your experience

"Mature reflection of the EMH considering the evidence provided during the investment exercise."

Please reflect on the Efficient Markets Hypothesis in light of your experience in managing your portfolio.

In this part, you are to reflect on what work well and what did not do well. You should be able to learn from this experience. You were required to record your strategies and the reasons for trading. Your answer should take advantage of this record and reflect on these reasons.

You should explain why you have chosen a particular strategy. You can also link the success of your strategy in relation to the efficiency of the market. For example, if you had chosen a technical trading strategy and you made money from this strategy, then there might be reason to believe that the market was not even weak-efficient.

Sometimes, emotions could have gotten the better of your judgement and resulted in your sub-optimal decisions. This is a form of behavioural bias that you could explain if that have affected your trading outcome.
