Sentiment

1. 01

   What does long and short sentiment show?

   The percentages show the long and short consensus index for each asset, not total market volume. Above 50%, that direction has the majority.

2. 02

   Is sentiment a signal to enter a trade?

   No. Sentiment is not an entry signal and does not predict price moves: it only shows how consensus is split between long and short.

3. 03

   Which markets does the sentiment page cover?

   The page shows sentiment for Forex pairs and metals such as gold and silver. Assets without usable data are not shown.

4. 04

   How often is sentiment updated?

   The data updates automatically every 5 minutes. A last known value is shown only while still valid, for one hour at most, after which the asset is hidden.

5. 05

   How do you filter and sort sentiment assets?

   You can choose the market, search for an asset and select one or more currencies: a pair appears if either of its currencies is selected. The list sorts by majors first, name, most long or most short, and your choices are saved in this browser.

   What is the difference between Live sentiment and Forex Sentiment?

   Live sentiment shows the latest long and short values on the website. Forex Sentiment is a historical indicator used in the TotalTrade Backtester.
