š WIN RATE & MARKET SENTIMENT (FGI) ANALYSIS ā updated through 2025-10-04
Community scalping data shows the FGIāwin rate correlation remains very weak (ā -0.07). Win rate does not track FGI linearly; Extreme Greed continues to be the riskiest zone for performance.
š Quick take
In Fear (20ā<40) and Neutral (40ā60), performance hovers around the average, with Neutral slightly higher. Greed (60ā<80) shows no clear improvement. Extreme Greed (ā„80) drags win rate sharply lower. Extreme Fear (<20) has a small sample, so treat as indicative only.
š Average win rate by FGI band (with day counts)
šØ Extreme Fear (<20): 45.93% ā n=5
š Fear (20ā<40): 44.86% ā n=95
š Neutral (40ā60): 45.17% ā n=136
š Greed (60ā<80): 44.92% ā n=198
š¤ Extreme Greed (ā„80): 40.52% ā n=25 (lowest)
Share of days above the overall average win rate of 44.76% by band:
Extreme Fear 60.00% ⢠Fear 51.58% ⢠Neutral 50.74% ⢠Greed 47.47% ⢠Extreme Greed 12.00%.
This reinforces that Extreme Greed is where discipline must be tightest, while Fear/Neutral deliver steadier, around-average results.
š Implications for scalping
⤠FGI ā„80: lower TP expectations, tighten SLs, favor early profit-taking when momentum fades.
⤠FGI 20ā<80: keep R:R discipline; avoid stretching TPs due to FOMO (differences across Fear/Neutral/Greed arenāt large enough to warrant a full strategy shift).
⤠FGI <20: small sample; act cautiously and keep order management front and center.
