This study aims to examine the heuristic
behavior of male investors (availability,
representativeness, and hindsight) in Indonesia on the
formation of technical anomalies in the capital market.
The results obtained from 316 male investors prove that
availability is not the cause of the formation of technical
anomalies in the capital market, but that
representativeness and hindsight have a positive effect on
the occurrence of technical anomalies in the capital
market. This study is the first study conducted by
focusing on men as the object of research related to
research that discusses heuristics and technical anomalies.
The results of mediation exploration which were used as
additional testing found that technical anomalies were
unable to explain the relationship between availability
variables and investment performance, but technical
anomalies partially mediated the relationship between
representativeness, hindsight and investment
performance.
