The present research was carried out using a test method based on a staged method of Medium and high volume (Overload) accounting information in the Google Forms software and 98 acceptable quiz of the investors were randomly selected and analyzed in 2017. In order to test the hypothesis, structural equation model was used in SMART-PLS software, and In order to test for the moderating role of Information Overload, was used the Effect Size Index Cohen (1988). The results in Medium volume accounting information showed: Metacognition have a significant effect on investors judgment, but cognitive failures don't have a significant effect on investors judgment. Metacognition and cognitive failures by mediating judgment have a significant effect on investors' decision making. With the moderating role of the Information Overload, Metacognition and cognitive failures, there is a significant effect on investors judgment. With the moderating role of Information Overload, Metacognition and cognitive failures through mediation of judgment, there is a significant effect on investors' decision making.
