Expert traders will tell you that 90% of trading success is related to understanding market psychology. The information we provide to you in the Wall Street Sentiment reports gives you a current and accurate read of not only public investment sentiment, but also the attitudes of the types of people who actually move the markets--the professional traders and analysts, as well as sophisticated individual traders.

The Wall Street Sentiment Weekend Report is comprised of the following sections:

The Fearless Forecaster Sentiment Poll

The Fearless Forecasters are a set of experienced traders and market analysts with a diverse set of set of analytical disciplines. Originally, in the early/mid 1990's, the Fearless Forecasters were selected from regular participants on the Fearless Forecaster Message Board on Decision Point, and later on Traders-Talk.com. While many of the original participants remain, the poll now includes a number of analysts and traders hand picked from the many trading venues all over the world.

The results are then compiled, analyzed, and published each Saturday. This means that the poll's results are clear and uncomprimised by any trading between the polling date and the publishing date. Thus, the Institutional Sentiment and Analysis may be the most current and unambiguous on Wall Street.

The results of the Fearless Forecaster sentiment poll are very useful on the short term, as the Fearless Forecasters tend to be right. Historically, our data has shown that the Fearless Forecaster Sentiment tends to be very predictive.  This is probably because these members have a greater level of market savvy than the typical market participant.

Usually, if the majority of the Fearless Forecasters predict a move in either direction, then usually we can expect that move to happen rather quickly. Upon rare occasions, Fearless Forecaster Sentiment can be a good contra-indicator. In cases when 90% or more are in agreement, (either Bullish or Bearish) the odds of them being right over the very short term are huge, but quickly thereafter you can expect a major turn in the opposite direction.

We have also found that when the Fearless Forecasters are evenly split, look for a dramatic move in either direction, but usually down. Historically, dead even Fearless Forecaster Bears and Bulls often mark a tradable top.

The "Smart Money" Sentiment Poll

The "Smart Money" pollees are very useful when there is divergent opinion amongst the Fearless Forecasters. It's generally not a good idea to go against the "Smart Money" unless "'EVERYONE'" (all sentiment measures) is in agreement. When in doubt about the meaning of the Fearless Forecaster Sentiment Poll, you should defer to the "Smart Money" poll. The "Smart Money" polees are traders with whom we've worked with or watched professionally for many years. They all have different approaches and they're all VERY good (not infallible, just very good analysts/traders).

They've proven themselves over time to be extremely accurate in mosts markets over the years.

The Senticator

The Senticator is our own proprietary measure of speculative emotion. When speculative emotion is Bullish, the Senticator will be Bearish, and vice versa. We know that the most emotional speculators are most likely to be wrong, and thus if we dispassionately do just the opposite, we're likely to be right.

We have found that the Senticator tends to be right by the end of the week (as much as 90% of the time), though it tends to be more accurate in a rising market than a falling one.

Please read the 5 Trading Rules for using the Senticator as a trading model, and note the incredible track record.

The Weekly Analysis

We provide the interpretation of these indicators in context of the current technical market landscape, as well as with other previously published sentiment measures. In short, we put it all together for you and give you a trading road map for the week ahead.

Often, traders can find the diverse trading opinions that they are bombarded with to be overwhelming. When one analyst is calling for a short-term rally, and another is calling for a crash, and yet another is looking for a new bull market, who should you listen to?

We eliminate much of that confusion by using an objective standard for measuring market opinion. In addition, we look for excesses of emotion, and provide warning to traders who might otherwise get caught up in the emotion of the moment.

Finally, we distill the data and provide a specific projection for the next week's trading.
