I've always been uncertain what sentiment adds to price and volume as far as understanding the state of the market goes.

Sentiment seems to be another way of identifying turning points or reversals, a very common approach to investing, but not mine. My approach, which I learned on this board, is pure momentum-based trend-following, which is about looking for persistence. I'm definitely not a natural contrarian. When something is rolling, I want to be pushing!
