The market has an equal amount of long and short positions, so why can the long/short ratio still differ from 1?
The account long/short ratio counts traders, so it more closely reflects the majority’s sentiment. The large traders’ long/short position ratio measures position sizes, showing which side big money is betting on.
The total number of long and short positions in the market is always equal. So when the account long/short ratio is above 1, it means short positions are concentrated among fewer accounts, with a larger average position per short account.
Me before: Place the trade first, figure it out later. Me now: Understand the rules.
Leverage magnifies the outcome, not your win rate. The higher the leverage, the less room there is for error.
