A quick market observation today: $STRK The long/short ratio of accounts across the platform is 0.68 (40.4% long / 59.6% short), down from 0.75 an hour ago.
The long/short ratio is like picking a side, with one vote per person.
On a more serious note, the long/short ratio of accounts across the platform shows how many accounts are on each side—not which side has more money. These two things often don't line up.
Extreme readings often signal greater volatility. At times like this, it's better to reduce leverage rather than make a big bet.
Just my personal opinion—please view it rationally.
