My understanding of this is that you want to classify what all of the other traders are doing, basically. That is, intro investment discussions build on intrinsics of what you are trading. As you trade more, you also want to trade on the behavior of everyone else that is trading.

Sadly, all market discussions I've seen are always "backward looking" and fairly useless for most folks. High frequency trading is basically cheating by do much smaller forecasts that can be acted on quickly and profitably. But if you can't react fast enough, the information is effectively useless.

Is like knowing tomorrow's rain forecast when you are trying to plant for the season. It is of little help. Even if it is far more accurate than the year's forecast.
