Available on Pro and Elite plansPro & Elite
The Market Sentiment filter adds an extra layer of protection to your copy trading. When enabled, SmartT checks whether each incoming trade idea aligns with the overall market mood. If a followed trader proposes a position that goes clearly against the prevailing sentiment, SmartT blocks execution on your account. That means fewer fights against momentum and more trades that flow with the trend.
How the Sentiment Filter Works
- Signal arrives: A trader you follow publishes a trade idea.
- Sentiment check: SmartT evaluates market sentiment for the symbol (e.g., XAUUSD, EURUSD, BTCUSD).
- Decision: If the idea conflicts with sentiment beyond a strict threshold, SmartT blocks it from executing on your account.
- Log: The block is recorded in your account activity for full transparency.
Sentiment blends multiple inputs (price momentum, positioning bias, and recent flow) into a simple pass/fail filter. It’s not a prediction model; it’s a guardrail that keeps your automation from forcing trades into unfavorable wind.
Why It Matters for Copy Trading
Fewer Bad Fights
Many losses come from fighting strong directional moves. The filter rejects those ideas so your equity curve avoids avoidable drawdowns.
Cleaner Risk Profile
By aligning with sentiment, your trade set becomes more selective and consistent with trend-following logic.
Automation You Can Trust
SmartT won’t execute a contrarian spike just because someone you follow took it. You stay in control of quality.
Pairs Well with Daily Risk Caps
Use the filter alongside your daily loss limit and position sizing for layered protection.
How to Enable It
- Go to Settings in your SmartT dashboard.
- Toggle Use Market Sentiment to On.
- Confirm you’re on a Pro or Elite subscription.
Once active, the filter runs automatically before any followed idea is placed on your MT4/MT5 account.
Best-Practice Use Cases
- Trend Days: When the market is one-sided, you’ll avoid the temptation of fading moves.
- News Volatility: Post-news chop often traps countertrend entries. The filter can keep you out.
- Multi-Trader Portfolios: If you follow several traders, sentiment alignment adds a consistent baseline of quality control.

What the Sentiment Filter Is (and Isn’t)
- It is a protective filter that prevents trades against the dominant market mood.
- It is not a trade generator or a guarantee of profit.
- It complements your risk settings (risk-per-trade, daily loss cap) and trader selection.
- It may skip some trades that later work—by design, the goal is to reduce exposure to lower-probability setups.
Quick Example
Suppose gold (XAUUSD) shows strong bullish sentiment after a breakout. A trader you follow posts a short idea against that move. With the filter ON, SmartT silently blocks the short from your account. If another trader posts a long aligned with sentiment, that trade proceeds as usual (subject to your risk limits).
