Applied Sentiment Analysis – Trading & Forecasting

It’s time Market Sentiment analysis got a proper step-by-step guide. Why stick only with Technical and Fundamental Analysis when you are trading the markets? Adding this powerful tool to your arsenal will greatly enhance your skills and undoubtedly improve your risk-adjusted returns.

Whether you are just beginning or you’re already an experimented user of market sentiment analysis wanting to discover new techniques in this exciting field, then search no more! this course is for you.

It is specifically designed to guide you from A-Z with a focus on intermediate/advanced concepts that you will find very interesting through different applications and most importantly stepping-stones upon which you can build your supermodel and combine it with other promising types of analyses!

The CFTC publishes a goldmine every week, which is known as the Commitments of Traders Report – COT – which gauges the pulse and the feeling of the big market participants (i.e. the market movers).

Properly understanding and analyzing this report will allow the user to forecast the trend of the chosen asset (FX, equities, commodities) for the following days, weeks, and even months.

This course is split into 4 main parts:

1.       Introduction to Market Sentiment.

2.       Framework and COT Data Analysis.

3.       Advanced Concepts & Back-testing through Python.

4.       Other Sentiment Strategies (Put-call ratio, Dark pool index, Gamma exposure index, etc).

This is an APPLIED course, meaning we will not spend too much time with the boring theoretical albeit necessary stuff. There will be occasional notes for every major section to help you refresh your knowledge as you progress in the course. I will constantly be updating the sections with new sentiment and technical methods/strategies. All of the documents and code are downloadable.

       Disclaimer: We acknowledge that trading comes with risks, and therefore, we have to stress that success in this field comes with proper risk management. No model is perfect and the views expressed in this course are only based on market sentiment analysis and are for educational purposes only. Always do your homework and let no one affect your judgment unless objective data is presented.
