How it works

How Sentiment Analysis Works

Talos aggregates recent news headlines for a stock from financial news sources and applies natural language processing to score the overall sentiment. Each article contributes to an aggregate score ranging from strongly negative (−1) to strongly positive (+1).

Sentiment as a Trading Signal

Academic research shows positive aggregate news sentiment correlates with short-term positive price momentum (the 'sentiment drift' effect). However, sentiment can reverse quickly — markets can be irrationally optimistic or pessimistic.
