News Sentiment Indicator

by QuantShare, 5471 days ago

This is a function that could be used with a database that contains text data (for example a news database). The function accepts as arguments, the database name, the field name, a positive list of words and a negative list of words.
These lists of words are simply words separated by comma. (word1, word2, word3...). The idea is to calculate an indicator that tries to measure the news sentiment. If a positive word is found in a news title, then the indicator will add a value of one in this news bar and if a negative word is found, then a value of one will be subtracted.

Here is an example:
news_sentiment('yahoo_news', 'title', 'buy,good,better,bull', 'sell,bad,lower,bear');
For each bar, each time the indicator finds one of the following words: buy, good, better, bull, it adds one to the current bar result, and each time it finds one of the following words: sell, bad, lower, bear, it subtracts one to the current bar result. It finally returns the indicator time-series.

For the news database, you can use one of the following downloaders:
US stocks:
Yahoo News
Smartmoney news for US equities
News data for US companies from Google RSS feed
Insiders' Blog stories
Analyst comments

London Stock Exchange:
London Stock Exchange News

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
