Video transcript: So first of all, it's got the product name, and you can see there it says 'All Clients'. So, on the left hand side, you've got the number of clients that are trading this. Effectively, if you've got 10 clients trading in this, five are long, five are short, that would be 50/50. So the number of clients, number of unique clients that are currently trading and this is the percentage difference between the two. You'll notice that it's got a down arrow and 6 per cent, meaning that it has dropped. This was actually 69 per cent as of 10pm last night, and this figure is actually within the last 60 seconds. Client sentiment updates every minute and during the session you may actually see it tick up or down, depending on if there's a lot of client activity at this time. You can see that 37 per cent are buyers, 63 per cent are sellers, and this figure here, is down 9%. The inner circle is basically the time from 10 pm last night, and this is the current percentage within the minute. On the right-hand side, you've got 'by position value', which is basically the total exposure. This might be the number of unique clients, but let's say you had ten positions running, one guy was short or was selling a million pounds worth and all the other nine guys were buyers of ten grand's worth, there would be a massive skew towards the sellers, because there's a lot more money selling than there was buying. In this particular instance, you can see that by position value or exposure, 23 per cent are buyers and 77 per cent are sellers. So you can see there you've got 37 and 63, and here you've got 23 and 77. 'Being traded' are other related products. These are the ten most popular here at CMC. If I flip forward to top clients, this takes the exact same calculations, but only applies it to clients with a minimum of three months trade history, who have made a profit without taking into account spreads and commissions. You can see in this particular instance that top and all clients are similar, but if I flip to the next side, which is the combined view, this overlays the all and top clients with a slight change in yellow. You've got the all clients a darker orange, and the top clients, which is more of a slightly yellow colour. Some quite interesting data comes again within the last 60 seconds. It's increased so there'd be more sellers come in since 10pm last night, so there'd be an extra 2 per cent increase on the US 30. Now, ideally, if I just flip forward and make these all combined views, I try and spot products that have got the biggest difference between all and top clients. Right away you can see gold has quite a big difference, you can see that there's quite a big change. You can see that top clients are 52 per cent of the buyers whereas all clients are currently 63 per cent buyers. You can see the top clients are more heavily buying into Brent crude versus all clients, and conversely, you can actually see there that there's less top clients selling into GBP/USD. The Germany 30 is another example where you can see that the top clients are 66% sellers, whereas everybody else is 78%, so it can be quite useful to try and find products with the biggest differential. I like to look for products that have got the biggest change from 10pm last night, such as gold, where you can see that our clients were a lot more bullish last night versus right now. It is now at 10%, so there's been quite a big swing right there, obviously a big client trading on gold. Ideally, you're looking for big swings. Why is there such a big difference in buyers and sellers on this product from last night? You can utilise this any way you want. It's always product-specific and you can launch order tickets directly from here, look at new charts and open quote panels. But the client sentiment feature really does give a nice overview as to what the rest of the CMC Markets clients are doing in terms of number and positions.
