Using Moodix in Short‑Term Time Frames

(10‑minute, 5‑minute, and 1‑minute charts; positions last a few hours at most)

5.1  What “intraday sentiment” means

Intraday sentiment is the running sum of all measured breaking‑news Impact Scores inside the current trading day. At the opening bell it starts at zero and grows bar‑by‑bar as fresh headlines arrive. The curve sits directly under the S&P 500 (ES) price chart, so you can watch news pressure and price action together.

5.2  Why the first hours matter most

Session	Typical pattern	What to check in Moodix
Asian hours	Sideways; thin liquidity	Any early spike in intraday sentiment? That headline often sets the tone.
European open	Sentiment picks a first direction	Compare with yesterday’s weekly bar – is today extending or fighting it?
US macro windows	Volatility bursts	Use Moodix event lines to see when shocks are likely.
Late US session	Position‑squaring	Does intraday sentiment reverse, or hold its sign into the close?

Rule of thumb: If Monday lacks a prior daily bar (because Friday’s context is stale), sit out until Tuesday; the risk of stepping on the wrong foot is high.

5.3  Align three sentiment layers before you trade

You want all three pointing the same way (or at least not fighting each other) before allocating capital on a minute chart.

• Moodix sentiment (long‑term wave) – RiskOn or RiskOff?
• Weekly sentiment – positive or negative so far this week?
• Intraday sentiment – building, flat, or reversing right now?

5.4  Signal confirmation: buying the DIP in a RiskOn day

1. Environment: RiskOn wave, positive weekly bar, and intraday sentiment above zero.

2. Catalyst: a temporary intraday pull‑back (DIP) caused by a headline or data miss.

3. Entry: after price stabilises and intraday sentiment resumes climbing.

4. The same logic applies to shorts inside a RiskOff environment (sell the rally).

5.5  Signal rejection: when to stand aside

If the background is RiskOff and weekly sentiment is negative, any bullish price spike is probably noise. Moodix treats it as a rejection: skip the trade and wait for alignment.

5.6  Five‑step intraday checklist

1. Open intraday sentiment at the start of the session.

2. Compare it with yesterday’s weekly bar (or the whole week if Thu/Fri).

3. Mark macro release times (vertical lines) – expect spikes.

4. Trade only when Moodix wave + weekly bar + intraday bar agree.

5. Re‑check after each macro event; close positions before sentiment flips.
