SentiQuant

We built Sentiquant after losing money ourselves despite having what we thought were “correct” market views. What we kept seeing was this gap: most tools focus on prediction, signals, or headlines, but very few help traders think clearly about risk — what can go wrong, how much it can hurt, and whether a trade is worth taking right now. Early on, we tried doing more — more indicators, more signals, more complexity. Backtesting and real usage quickly humbled us. Many impressive-looking features added noise, not clarity. So we stripped things down. The process evolved into something simple but strict: sentiment as a filter, price and structure as the truth, and risk as the final gatekeeper. If a trade doesn’t make sense from a drawdown and discipline perspective, it doesn’t matter how good the story sounds. This launch isn’t about claiming we’ve “solved” trading. It’s about sharing an early product, learning from thoughtful feedback, and continuing to build something that prioritizes survival over hype. Curious to hear from the community: How do you personally decide when a trade is not worth taking, even if the setup looks good?
