A central theme of the book is the "herd instinct". Plummer posits that most market participants eventually become part of a collective "crowd," which leads to predictable, non-random behavior.
: By assuming non-rational behavior, Plummer identifies an ordered world of rhythms and recurring patterns that are invisible to traditional economists. Mathematical Foundations and Cycles
Plummer argues that consistent profitability depends on an individual's ability to operate independently of the crowd. To achieve this, he outlines three essential skills:
: Developing a trading system that generates objective "buy" and "sell" signals, removing subjective bias from decision-making. The Primacy of Crowd Behavior
: Identifying and overriding personal emotional reactions—such as fear and greed—to market fluctuations.
: This is a model describing how the crowd reacts to new information.
