Does a long/short ratio above 1 mean that longs are in control? Many people can’t answer!
Binance’s publicly available contract statistics include the account long/short ratio and the top trader long/short position ratio. They’re calculated at intervals as short as 5 minutes and cover Binance USDⓈ-margined perpetual contracts.
The long/short ratio describes how positions are distributed, not the direction of the price. When one side is heavily concentrated, a move in the opposite direction may trigger a series of stop-losses.
Keeping the loss on a single trade to a small portion of your account is more important than guessing the perfect entry point.
