Many people make their trading decisions based on emotions. Fear, greed, etc.

Oh I get it, I did in the beginning too. I lost money that way. No successful trader, at least ones that do it as a business trade on emotion. We trade based on the data given.

Things like the fear and greed index are okay for cycle tops and bottoms, but on a day to day, absolutely useless. Volume is a much better indicator.
