Trading Against the Crowd

Trading Against the Crowd – Lars Tvede  

This book explains how mass psychology and herd behavior drive financial markets, often leading to bubbles and crashes. Lars Tvede shows that following the crowd typically results in poor trading decisions, while contrarian strategies—acting opposite to prevailing market sentiment—can offer profitable opportunities. It covers sentiment analysis, market cycles, and behavioral finance tools to help traders spot mispriced assets and time their entries and exits more effectively.
