Strategic Interaction Theory

Strategic interaction theory examines how the decisions of one participant are influenced by the expected actions of others. In financial markets, this is the core of game theory applied to trading.

Every trade is a response to the perceived intentions of other market participants, from market makers to institutional whales. By modeling these interactions, traders can identify Nash equilibria or other stable outcomes in competitive environments.

This is vital for navigating complex markets where participants are constantly reacting to each other. It helps in formulating strategies that are robust against the actions of competitors.
