TL! Market Barometer

[Soultrader]

I have added a little feature title TL! Market Barometer



Rating explanation

-2: Very Bearish
-1: Bearish
0: Neutral
1: Bullish
2: Very Bullish

The question is which market? Since the majority here are index futures traders, the main index will be on the S&P 500 futures. These stats are reset daily at midnight. Enjoy!

Oh great, an excellent contrarian indicator

In all seriousness, what timeframe is the viewpoint for? Just that current day?

It would be interesting to have two or three for different time frames. Maybe the next day, week, and month. Also, in my opinion it would make more sense if the new poll was opened after market close and closed before market open. Or maybe you could have it close after the first hour for those that like to see the open first. This way we could keep track of the results and compare them to what actually happened. Just some thoughts.

Hi Hlm,

Since its rather a simple feature, I can not make it have multiple timeframes. I did change the reset time to 10am EST. Unfortunately I cant include a close time... only a reset time.

Why not just place three different polls then, each with a different time frame listed?

The implementation is only coded for one timeframe. I cant do much to change it.

Probably worth establishing some guidelines so every one is singing from the same song sheet. How about Market outlook for the week? Maybe Reset it before Fridays open?

Maybe just voting on the next day is better and have it reset at the days open.

The important thing is that people are approaching it consistently. It would be good if you could see the previous days results but I guess those that are interested will have a look and vote at the appropriate time.
