When the long/short ratio is high, does that mean the market is bullish?
The total size of long and short positions across the market is always equal. So an account long/short ratio above 1 means short positions are concentrated among fewer accounts, with each short account holding a larger position.
The large-trader position long/short ratio looks at the top 20% of users by margin balance and divides their total long position size by their total short position size.
The most important thing to keep in mind when managing positions: when checking the long/short ratio, first confirm whether it is based on the number of accounts or position size. The same figure means different things depending on the basis.
