A few things to remember about the long/short ratio in futures:
1) The market-wide account long/short ratio is the number of accounts with a net long position divided by the number of accounts with a net short position. Each account counts as one, regardless of position size.
2) The total number of long and short positions in the market is always equal. So, an account long/short ratio above 1 means short positions are concentrated among fewer accounts, with larger positions per short account.
3) Don’t use the long/short ratio alone as a basis for trading. It’s safer to consider it alongside open interest, funding rates, and price.
