Sentiment is one of the most important tools we have as technicians. There is a lot of data out there and I think SentimenTrader does the best job of compiling it all and making it available for both professional and retail investors.

Andrew Thrasher, CMT
Portfolio Manager & Founder
Through my studying for the Chartered Market Technician designation I learned more of the importance of sentiment data. SentimenTrader is the gold-standard in my opinion for curating all that is sentiment, from surveys, to fund flows, to proprietary data sets, to COT data, they have it all. Each morning I make a point to read their daily newsletter and often learn something new about a market move I wouldn’t have been able to read about anywhere else.

In my fifty-year professional career in the investment business (stockbroker, trust investment officer, and the last forty years as a Registered Investment Adviser), I have always placed investor sentiment very high in my decision-making process. SentimenTrader fits the bill perfectly! Thank you, Jason, for producing such a valuable investment service; keep up your great work.

I've been using SentimenTrader for years... YEARS. I analyze a plethora of charts on a weekly basis, but I don't have the time to crunch data in the way they do, which also happens to be in a manner that is both informative and make sense. I've unsubscribed from several resources over the years, but I can never bring myself to turn off the switch on ST. There's just too much value for the cost.
