</html><description>By trend trader, whose aim is to fine tune tools and examine critical economic and industry data to help himself and others navigate the rise and fall of equity and currency markets. Via Macrobusiness, originally published at tradersrant.  &#x2026; aka, equity market agents and non-linear dynamic behaviour. Inspired by reading Professor Steve Keen&#x2019;s book on &#x2018;Debunking Economics&#x2019;, this is a first pass at quantifying what many call the &#x2018;herd&#x2019;. Understanding herd mentality/crowds/group behaviour is a cornerstone to successful investing. In my (slow and winding) path of development of a better toolset for analysing price history for investment decisions, I have a string of projects that are effectively Engineering applications to the field of economics.</description><thumbnail_url>http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/StampedeMentality-300x216.jpg</thumbnail_url></oembed>
