Sentiment analysi<\/strong>s is used to gauge how other traders feel<\/em>, whether it\u2019s about the overall currency market or about a particular currency pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, we said that price action should<\/em> theoretically reflect all available market information. Unfortunately for us forex traders, it isn\u2019t that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forex markets do not simply reflect all of the information out there because traders will all just act the same way. Of course, that isn\u2019t how things work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Forex<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is why sentiment analysis<\/strong> is important. Each trader has his or her own opinion of why the market is acting the way it does and whether to trade in the same direction of the market or against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market is just like Facebook \u2013 it\u2019s a complex network made up of individuals who want to spam our news feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kidding aside, the market basically represents what all traders \u2013 you, Warren Buffet, or Celine from the donut shop \u2013 feel about the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each trader\u2019s thoughts and opinions, which are expressed through whatever position they take, helps form the overall sentiment of the market regardless of what information is out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that as retail traders, no matter how strongly you feel about a certain trade, you can\u2019t move the forex markets in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you truly believe that the dollar is going to go up, but everyone else is bearish on it, there\u2019s nothing much you can do about it (unless you\u2019re one of the GSs \u2013 George Soros or Goldman Sachs!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a trader, you have to take all this into consideration. You need to perform sentiment analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s up to you to gauge how the market is feeling, whether it is bullish or bearish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you have to decide how you want to incorporate your perception of market sentiment into your trading strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to simply ignore market sentiment, that\u2019s your choice. But hey, we\u2019re telling you now, it\u2019s your loss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentiment analysis is often used as a contrarian indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of ideas why this is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One idea behind this is if EVERYONE (or almost everyone) shares the SAME sentiment, then it\u2019s time to go hipster and trade against the popular sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if everyone and their mamas are bullish EUR\/USD, then it might be time to go short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Unfortunately, you\u2019ll have to go further down the School to find out! Ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another idea is that most retail forex traders (unfortunately) suck. Depending on where you find statistics, between 70-80% of retail traders lose money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you know that these all these unprofitable traders who are usually wrong are all currently long EUR\/USD\u2026.well, theeeeeen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be a good idea to do the opposite of what they do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being able to gauge market sentiment aka sentiment analysis can be an important tool in your toolbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on in school, we\u2019ll teach you how to analyze market sentiment and use it to your advantage, like Jedi mind tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
