Markets move on emotion—and fear is the loudest signal of all. During periods of uncertainty, investor anxiety often overrides rational analysis, causing prices to deviate from both fundamental and technical indicators.
Help your investors detect market anxiety, monitor risks, protect their assets, and uncover opportunities with the TC Fear Index.
Powered by Trading Central’s proprietary AI model, the TC Fear Index scans millions of global news articles and social media posts to detect and measure the level of fright and panic within markets, identifying spikes and alerting investors of potential downside risks.
By keeping investors informed ahead of market turbulence, the Fear Index strengthens investor confidence, enhances your platform experience, and drives meaningful engagement and trading activity on your brokerage platform.
The Fear Index has a time-tested track record. At the end of 2019, Trading Central’s Fear Index fluctuated between 60 and 70, detecting the nervousness among investors ahead of the COVID-19 health crisis 4 months prior to the VIX.
Trading Central’s Head of North American Research, Gary Christie, demonstrated how the Fear Index is a powerful tool to help your investors position themselves ahead of market volatility, especially when combined with TC Options Insight™—using Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) as an example.
