It should be mentioned that traders may not wish to spend their time on studying Fundamental analysis and doing it themselves. Most of all they prefer following the professional financial analysts. Such kind of analysis is available, because it is published in newspapers, is present in Web, on TV and Radio. In addition, there are brokers which provide their own analytics on their websites which makes the process of trading much more easy for the traders.
An important part of the market analysis is the analysis of expectations, which deals with the mood and emotions of market participants (traders). In contrast to conventional methods of analysis, by learning expectations, we are trying to understand and measure (for example, through surveys) what traders expect for today and for the nearest future. During the trading, each participant has an opinion, and of course, these opinions of large groups of market participants may have an impact on the market itself, and trading results as well. These views form the overall mood of the market. Understanding and appreciation of these sentiments are quite effective for understanding the actions of market participants in the present and in the nearest future. A variety of indices of expectations (this is a part of macro-economic statistics) is regularly published in the Internet.
