Coverage shows how many of a symbol's intended data sources are actually reporting right now, e.g. "3/4" means 3 of the 4 sources configured for that symbol returned usable data on the last update. Not every symbol has all five possible sources wired up yet — where one is missing, it shows as N/A rather than a guessed number.
Sentiment is a simple three-way read: bullish, neutral, or bearish. Signal is more precise, with five tiers — strong buy, buy, neutral, sell, strong sell — giving a finer-grained view of how strong the underlying score actually is.
Yes — a paid, authenticated API for traders who want sentiment data inside their own EA or trading system, at api.tradelytics.cloud. The free, unauthenticated JSON endpoint that used to live on this domain has been retired; every symbol's sentiment is still free to read on this website itself, just not as raw JSON anymore.
No. TradeLytics aggregates public data using fixed rules — it doesn't know your risk tolerance, account size, or trading strategy. Use it as one input among many, not a signal to act on blindly.
