One of the most persistent errors in market operations does not relate to incorrect information, but to the way that information is transformed into action. The problem is not seeing a signal where there is none, but assuming that every observed signal requires an immediate decision. Between observing and acting, there exists a critical space that many operators traverse without realizing it.

In a first layer, it is advisable to separate two planes that often mix: the informational plane and the decisional plane. A signal belongs to the former. It is a datum, a condition, an observable configuration within a specific context. By itself, it does not imply an operational obligation. The decision, on the other hand, belongs to another plane: it implies commitment, assumed risk, and irreversible consequences. Confusing both planes generates artificial pressure to act, even when there is no real justification to do so.
