Positive achievements in trading and investment are reflected in the increasing public interest in investing in the Indonesian capital market. In theory, EMH assumes that there are many rational investors who try to maximize profits. Behavioral finance theory is an empirical study of contradictions that proves that investors are not completely rational. This is because there are psychological factors that influence investment decisions. The existence of this human psychological factor makes various financial decisions bias. This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of several behavioral biases, namely overconfidence bias, anchoring bias, and herding on stock investment decisions in Indonesian investors.
