  • We explore the powers and perils of pattern recognition, which investors often cite as a basis for action.
  • While it can be powerful when applied appropriately, it can also be misleading and lead to overconfidence.
  • We define pattern recognition, discuss when it tends to work well, review why it may be misleading, and offer ways to help improve it.
  • Pattern recognition tends to work well in stable environments where cause and effect are clear and feedback is effective but poorly where causality and feedback are limited.
