People come from blocks around to join in the festivities. The bandwagon effect is now in full swing. Unfortunately for me, I arrived late to the party thus missing most of the performance (upward stock price movement). Getting to the show early will pay off.

Everyday life has a way of revealing a better understanding of your most puzzling problems. Early on in my stock trading career, I struggled with producing consistent profits. I decided to get away for a while and clear my head. I went to New York City. The mental frustration of losing my initial capital was taking its toll. All of this will make more sense shortly, so just bear with me.

New York is an incredible city. There are people everywhere you look. I grew up in an urban area but I had never experienced anything quite like this. All five of your senses immediately come to life. As I walked, more like side-stepped, down the busy sidewalk I could here the faint sounds of music playing off in the distance. I love music, especially live performances. I was curious so I followed my ear. I noticed that a majority of the people were headed in the same direction as me, presumably to find the source of the music. We were all being funneled down the overcrowded sidewalk. A smaller number of people were headed in the opposite direction.

The volume and clarity of the music increased with every step I took, as was the size of the crowd . Eventually, I arrived at the source of all the excitement. A band was performing a live set and hundreds had gathered for the free concert. Im not very tall, so I couldn't see a thing! I remember saying, Why couldnt I have gotten here earlier? Eureka! I had just been given stock trading manna from the heavens. It all made perfect sense now.

Stock trading is a lot like the concert in New York City. The band represents, in this case, institutional buying. In essence, they get the party started. Secondly, there is the audience and those moving in the direction of the music source. This group consists of investors, traders, speculators, and gamblers. And lastly, there are those moving in the opposite direction of the crowd. You will be shocked as to why they are leaving so soon. Below is a break down of each groups role starting with:

1. The Band

The band is the smoking gun for every major stock price movement both up and down. They are the proverbial big fish in the game. It only makes sense to follow their lead. Institutional buying and selling greatly affects volume. Always be on the look out for the band because they perform many unannounced shows. Their influence on the stock market is inarguable.

2. The Audience

This group of traders, investors, speculators, and gamblers comes in waves once the band begins to perform. Some of the most clever audience members are there as the band sets up the stage (hint, hint). People come from blocks around to join in the festivities. The bandwagon effect is now in full swing.

This last group is completely in tune with the band. While hoards of people are flocking towards the musical performance, they are quietly making an exit. Why would they be leaving now? Your answer is in the question! Party Poopers exit at the climax of the show. In other words, they are cashing in their profits. Who are these contrarians ? You have already been introduced to them . These are the same folks who watched the band set up, enjoyed front row seating for most of the performance, and were seen headed in the opposite direction while we were still trying to find the party. Surprise.

There you have it. This is a true account of how a short hiatus from the stock market allowed me to experience a stock trading epiphany by means of an everyday life experience. As a trader, your comprehension of misunderstood trading principles often occurs when you least expect it. We sometimes need a real world example to make it all click in our brains. This example spans a period of only one day. In reality, this process can take shape over several days and even weeks in the market. Remember this story the next time you come across a rapidly moving stock. Resist the temptation and find another party that's just getting started. Be a party pooper.
