Retail Sentiment

*EDGEFINDER FREE, BASIC, & PRO

The retail sentiment metric displays data based on the positioning of retail traders. For us, this is a contrarian signal producer.

If retail traders are 60% long (or more), then this is a bearish signal. If retail traders are 40% long (or less), then this is a bullish signal.

Historical Backtest

*EDGEFINDER PRO

The Historical Backtest Scanner plots an asset’s price performance with the EdgeFinder’s score. You can see the score of the EdgeFinder change each day while price changes.

This tool plots the market open and close price on top of the asset’s score. This is helpful for traders to see how an asset would have performed relative to its score every day. It is helpful in spotting changes in momentum, a continuation of trends, and signs of a weakening or strengthening market.

GBPJPY has gone from a strong sell reading to neutral rating on the EF. This could be an indication of a shift in the pair’s sentiment overall. We could be seeing a buy rating on this pair soon. pic.twitter.com/1iGfhHx9Ci
