From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A noise trader is described in the literature of financial research as a stock trader whose decisions to buy, sell, or hold are not based upon fundamental analysis.[1]

In finance, noise obtained a formal definition in a 1986 paper by Fischer Black "Noise in the sense of a large number of small events is often a cause factor much more powerful than a small number of large events can be."[2]
