$RSR The platform-wide account long/short ratio is 1.17 (53.9% long / 46.1% short).
A newbie’s burning question: How should you interpret the platform-wide account long/short ratio?
The account long/short ratio = the number of accounts with a net long position divided by the number of accounts with a net short position. It counts accounts, not position sizes.
When the positioning of large traders and that of accounts platform-wide point in opposite directions, it’s often interpreted as a sign that large investors and most accounts disagree on the market’s direction.
Don’t place an order at the most volatile moment. Wait for the candlestick to close and settle before deciding.
