Behavior
Why is following the investing crowd dangerous?
Crowds often buy when prices are already high and sell when prices are already low. Herd following is a common way to buy expensive and sell cheap.
How StockIT helps you practice this
Flash Sales and Panics tempt FOMO and fear. Correct Buy/Sell follows the event clue (priceImpact), not peer hype. Wrong-direction taps miss clovers - herd brain has a cost.
In-game tip: “Don't Follow the Crowd” — If everyone is buying, prices are high. If everyone is selling, prices are low.
