Once you realise that a financial market is composed of nothing other than a series of actions and reactions, your performance in the altcoin market will transform.

Simply put, trading is a mind game. Just like chess... dots and boxes and even connect four.

Your one objective is to out manoeuvre the person on the opposite side of the trade. Therefore, in trading, the skill is in one’s ability to out-think his opponent. 

So clearly “buying with the pack” is an option that can immediately be thrown out the window because, “if everyone is thinking the same thing, then someone ISN’T thinking.” ... Or perhaps, someone else is doing the thinking for them?

Trading is a battle of the wits, and there is a lot to be said about a person who is buying today what another person bought cheaply several weeks ago.

At PumpersPicks we are advocates of simple market psychology.. the simple acknowledgement of the fact that prices move upwards or downwards when “the herd” is in a state of reaction. So in order to out-perform the herd and “get there first” we endeavour to employ strategies that exploit this innate nature of human beings to “react” instead of “act.”
