Let’s talk about the long/short ratio for futures.
The platform-wide account long/short ratio = the number of accounts net long divided by the number of accounts net short. Each account counts as one, regardless of its position size.
One thing many people overlook: the account long/short ratio counts accounts, so it’s more like a measure of retail trader sentiment. The top traders’ position long/short ratio compares position sizes, and can show which side large accounts are betting on.
When comparing long/short ratios, first check whether they’re based on account numbers or position sizes—the same figure can mean different things depending on the metric.
