Sentiment Analysis In Trading Decisions
Sentiment analysis in trading is frequently misunderstood. It is not about following the crowd — it is about understanding where the crowd is positioned and what that means for the risk profile of a trade decision.
What Sentiment Analysis Covers
- Commitment of Traders (COT) data and positioning analysis
- Retail sentiment indicators
- News flow and market narrative
- Contrarian signal identification
- Sentiment extremes and potential mean reversion context
Sentiment As Context, Not Direction
Sentiment data does not tell traders what to do — it provides context. A heavily long market in a weakening fundamental environment may carry different risk than the same positioning in a strengthening fundamental environment.
