What is sentiment?

if I had trade on sentiment since 3 years. Everything would be fine.

depends how you define it

I've always used it as readings from investor sentiment surveys like AAII. In a sense you can also see it in the put call ratio or vix.

Vix's pretty good gauge. I was told about it only recently... hmm..

If you have a good TA system that consistently works, I've found that sentiment doesn't come into it - especially personal sentiment.
