Does market/news sentiment actually matter for day trading?
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to trading, and ive been kind of overwhelmed by all of the different tools / dashboards, and I don't know what to pay attention to regarding news / overall market sentiment.
For people here who are experienced and actively day trade,
- do you guys actually look at the news / market sentiment?
- based on your experience have these sentiment "scores" been accurate and actually affect the market?
- or do you guys just trade off of price and indicators etc?
Im just trying to understand what is genuinely useful. I would appreciate any advice.
