YM Sentiment Analysis
E-mini Dow Jones -- social sentiment from Reddit, Twitter/X, TradingView, and Forex Factory. Updated March 24, 2026.
How To Use Sentiment Correctly
Use sentiment as a positioning filter, not a standalone entry trigger. It helps most when you want to know whether a trade is becoming crowded.
Extreme readings matter more than mild ones, especially when you are deciding whether to reduce size on a prop account.
What Not To Do
Do not buy because sentiment is bullish or short because sentiment is bearish. The better use case is checking whether consensus is already too one-sided.
Without an extreme reading, sentiment should stay secondary to structure, volatility, and your rule constraints.
