Explain the Concept of “Disposition Effect” in Financial Trading.

The disposition effect is the behavioral bias where investors are reluctant to sell assets that have lost value (the "losers") but are eager to sell assets that have gained value (the "winners"). This is driven by loss aversion and the desire to realize gains for psychological satisfaction, while avoiding the pain of realizing a loss, leading to sub-optimal portfolio management.
