Description

Mark Whistler is a full-time trader and author of several books on Swing Trading, Trading Psychology and Volatility who investigated a lot the sentiment and news technologies in the markets. He believes that markets and news are inefficient by nature and “the only real way information technologies will assist the masses, is to help dissect information to make it more easily understandable.” Whistler thinks sentiment and gossips tools can be useful, but the traders have to consider them as noise that alert them to some sort of imbalance. His advice is “not to depend on the last post you just witnessed” but “look beyond the hype.” He foresees that “when technology-based-data-sentiment finally collides with effective processes to ensure efficacy and reliability, technology-based sentiment tools will win out.”
