1.1. Opening the Global Opinion widgets

To initiate the Global Opinion widgets, open a chart for any symbol in the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) trading platform. Then add the Expert Advisor (EA) Admiral Radial Gauge, Linear Gauge or Market Watch, to the chart. Now either:

  1. double-click on the EA in the MT4 Navigator list and drag the EA onto the chart, or
  2. right-click its name and choose Attach to a chart from the context menu.

1.3. Global Opinion components

The Global Opinion tools consist of three components:

  1. Market Alerts
  2. Radial Gauge
  3. right-click it, and
  4. Linear Gauge

These revolutionary new trading tools harness the power of news sentiment on a global scale, by detecting subtle, but significant, changes in the undercurrents of the financial markets. Reading and contextualising millions of financial news stories and social media content every day, these tools give traders an unrivalled, dynamic perspective on the changing mood of market participants.

The Global Opinion tools drastically reduce the amount of time and effort that traders need to spend on daily research; highlighting the best assets to trade and signalling the changes in sentiment activity that are likely to directly impact trade success.

2. Components

2.1. Market Alerts

The Market Alerts tool is specifically designed to surface new trade ideas that are often too difficult to be identified using traditional tools.

Suitable for traders of all experience-levels, finding new trade ideas is very easy with the availability of a number of filtering options which can be used to highlight the trades that most suit your trading style, asset preference and risk appetite.

Triggered by substantial short-term changes in news sentiment, the tool compares these levels to historical events, determining the effect they had on price and how quickly the changes occurred, helping to predict reversals or continuations.

Combine Market Alerts with Radial and Linear Gauges to create an even stronger indicator. When both tools are in agreement, the probability of a price movement is higher.

2.2. Radial and Linear Gauges

Global Opinion Linear and Radial gauges can provide you with a no-nonsense indication of market consensus towards your chosen asset. This can help corroborate or build confidence in your trading ideas.

As the tools use sentiment data rather than price, they are a powerful additional indicator which can be used alone, or alongside your existing trading tools, to uncover trading opportunities. Alternatively, once you`ve placed your trade, these tools can act as an excellent monitoring tool, helping you determine when to exit a trade.

With speed-o-meter styling, the Radial and Linear Gauges provide an instant visual snapshot of how sentiment is building compared to the last 30 days – or your preferred time scale.

Display single or multiple assets in a single view; select the sentiment type* you wish to monitor and the period you wish to compare against.

If using within MT4, gauges will hover on your charts.
