This is supposedly based on “verified, real accounts only” but these stats just don’t seem plausible at all. No way there are twice as many winning traders as losing traders and the average account size is 6 figures.
How are these stats actually being generated? Can someone explain?

Factors such as sample size, diversity of participants, and transparency in data collection can influence the accuracy of sentiment indicators. Additionally, sentiment indicators should be interpreted alongside other technical and fundamental analyses for a comprehensive understanding of market sentiment.

Sentiment indicators provide insights into the overall mood or positioning of market participants, which can be useful for gauging potential market direction. However, their accuracy is limited as they reflect collective sentiment rather than predict precise price movements. While sentiment indicators can highlight extreme bullish or bearish positions, they should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to make well-rounded trading decisions.

hi there
these stats are often based on selective data from a subset of traders or accounts, which can skew the results. they might not reflect the broader trading community and can be influenced by promotional or biased reporting methods.

I wouldn't put much weight on it. Some traders may be short term others long term. The data is probably just retail traders who generally get it wrong anyway

Sentiment indicators should not be taken into consideration in trading strategy. It can be a good indicator in normal market conditions, but bad with increased volatility.

Sentiment tools can help to being on the correct side of the market. They can't be used for timing. Use stop entry orders and wait for market to start moving in the direction of the sentiment reading.

You’re right. Sentiment tools are great for analyzing the general mood of the market but here, timing is everything. Waiting for confirmation using stop-entry orders is a good tactic.

You’ve got a valid point! It does sound a bit too good to be true. Sometimes brokers highlight a specific subset of accounts (like pros or high-net-worth clients) to skew stats. Also, “winning traders” could just mean those with a slight profit, not necessarily consistent big gains.

Not always 100% accurate, but it’s a good tool to gauge market mood. Consider using them as a guide, not the gospel—always pair it with other analysis!1

Just imagine how small is this fraction of the market and how changes in sentiment of this fraction can affect market prices.. maybe during some highly illiquid price but still hardly feasible to make profit using this data somehow. Useless for me, some fancy stuff tbh

No way those statistics are correct, the average deposit of $70k? Whose average is that, George Soros?

The sentiment indicator shows the market's mood, but it's not always accurate. It helps, but should be used with other tools for better results. Markets can change quickly!
In trading, knowledge is power; in practice, patience is key.

Not always accurate since it depends on market's mood and nature. the chance of switch can cause the change in sentiment which will affect badly in your trading performance.

One of the only non bot replies in here. That's exactly what I'm saying. According to the sentiment indicator there are nearly 3x more winners than losers and the average winner is up 300k while the average loser is down 50k? Come on these stats are so outrageously fabricated its not plausible whatsoever. Obviously 99% of accounts are losers and the average deposit prob isn't even $100. To make matter worse, myfxbook is charging for a subscription for a supposedly better version of this tool. This is such a scam and needs to be exposed.

So true! Market sentiment can change fast, and it can really impact trades. How do you manage sudden shifts in mood?

What I know is, sentiment indicators can give you some good insight, but they’re not always spot on, especially when markets are moving fast.

Honestly, I have found sentiment indicators to be pretty useful. Even in fast markets. If paired with other tools, they can still give solid insights—just gotta know how to interpret them quickly

Sentiment indicators are good for spotting extreme emotions (too much fear or greed), but they shouldn’t be used alone. Always combine them with other analysis before making a trade.

If 80-90% of the retail investors lose money trading CFDs, then is there value in the sentiment indicator?
