This Looks Like a Very Interesting Way to Track Market Sentiment in Realtime.

Recommended Posts

I just signed up for this funky artificial intelligence driven by real traders thingy

 

"OpenFutur.es plans to harness the power of large numbers of participating traders to accurately predict movement of the S&P 500."

 

http://www.openfutur.es/

 

It's free and relatively new, and I have no affiliation just think it looks promising.

Anyone using this, or similar apps?

Considering that 80% traders are losing money, I don't think the "large numbers of participants" will "predict" the movements correctly.

 

Yeah but the system doesn't treat everyone's calls as equal, the point is it tracks a bunch of people and decides which to fade and which are accurate and weights them by different factors to arrive at what is the most probable trade,,, so i gather.

If 80% people predict the direction incorrectly, wouldn't that be a high probability signal to fade their prediction?

Weighting the votes sounds interesting. For some reason, I still don't think it will work. Maybe I've read too much of warnings that any chatroom tips, "guru" advices, etc. etc. will lead a trader to doom.

 

It will be interesting to watch the progress of this site though. Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to our focus.

 

Interesting approach that they use, pretty clever.

They reward people that make good prognoses.

 

The better you get the more the system provides you with better information.

 

 

But:

If you don't (yet) have an edge by yourself the thing is worthless because you get delayed information.

 

If you make good prognoses it would really be stupid to give them away to them because you can be 100% sure that they will take advantage of it thereby ruining your edge.

 

And after your edge is gone (the market always adapts if you use a strategy on large scale) they will just move to watch the next user who has discovered a working strategy.

 

Guess they thought about that too. So they know they will never attract people that already have a special edge. They probably count on statistics: Weighting the opinions of many mediocre traders that are just good enough (or consistably bad - special jewels) shall give them an advantage. For that reason you can be sure that they will give you information that is less valuable to you than the information that you provide to them.

 

So it might be better to spend time on searching for a real edge. The idea of looking for the commitments of other traders and where they enter into trades is a good starting point.

uexkuell i disagree, there's no way it's going to spoil your edge - users don't share the logic to their trading with anyone, you just share your timing for short / long / neutral. pretty hard to reverse engineer someones edge based only on their timing. as far as the delay, the signals are not for scalps, they seem to last anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days, so a 30min delay for newcomers isn't that big of a deal. right now i see there appears to only be 27 people using this though, i'll be interested to see how it preforms once there is 100+. in the past few days since i started paying attention to it, it's been pretty spot on for swing trades, there are no set targets or anything given - that's up to you, but the overall bias it has relayed has been reliable so far. i'm discretionary and would never trade strictly off of a system like this, but it could become a nice compliment to ones trading. just another indicator when it comes down to it, but anything based on behavior of real traders is useful imo.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
