Market Sentiment

Market Sentiment - A feature in cTrader that shows the aggregate trader positioning on a given symbol. The market sentiment indicator (visible in the Active Symbol Panel) displays the ratio of all cTrader users (across supported brokers) who are long vs. short on that instrument. For instance, it might show 70% long and 30% short on EUR/USD, indicating how the community is biased. This real-time sentiment gauge can help traders gauge crowd behavior, though it’s used as a contrarian indicator by some. It updates continuously as traders open or close positions.
