AI Block: Fundamental Sentiment — what it is and how to use it in trading
Definition
Fundamental Sentiment (fundamental.sentiment) is an AI block that returns the overall sentiment for an asset based on news and on-chain metrics: Bearish, Neutral, or Bullish.
How it works in the builder
An enum operand encoded Bearish=-1, Neutral=0, Bullish=1 — compared to a constant with a normal operator (e.g. fundamental.sentiment == 1). Like the other AI blocks, it is read from a precomputed cache and always evaluates false in backtest.
What it looks like on the chart
Drawn as a 3-segment Bear/Neutral/Bull gauge using the same color tokens the rest of the builder uses for position direction (red for bearish, green for bullish) — the active segment is highlighted.
Typical use
Typical condition: fundamental.sentiment == 1 as an AI filter to avoid entering against the overall fundamental sentiment, often paired with fundamental.score for finer control. Available only in LIVE strategies and only on the Pro plan.
Common pitfalls
Three categories is a coarse scale — "Neutral" lumps together both a slightly positive and a slightly negative backdrop. The numeric fundamental.score is better suited to fine-tuning than sentiment alone.
