The nine bodies of work that shaped TIP's framework

TIP is inspired by and grounded in the published research of these scientists. None of them are affiliated with TIP. Their work belongs to the academic record. TIP applies it to trading psychology.

Important context

The researchers listed here did not design their work for financial trading applications. TIP uses their peer-reviewed frameworks as theoretical grounding for a behavioral assessment instrument. The application of these frameworks to trading psychology is TIP's own, not the researchers' endorsement or affiliation.

A note on scientific validity

TIP is a theoretically grounded behavioral assessment built on validated research frameworks. It is currently in normative development. The scoring architecture is anchored in peer-reviewed behavioral finance literature. Correlation to live trading outcomes will be rigorously measured as the assessment database matures. TIP is designed to provide insight and direction, not clinical diagnosis. Use your results as a framework for reflection and structured development, not as a fixed or permanent judgment of your capabilities.
