Many people think the futures long/short ratio is straightforward, but here’s where it’s easy to get confused:
Binance’s public futures stats include the account long/short ratio and the top trader long/short position ratio. The finest interval is 5 minutes, and the stats cover Binance USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts.
The account long/short ratio counts accounts, so it’s more like a gauge of retail trader sentiment. The top trader long/short position ratio compares position sizes, giving a better sense of which side big money is betting on.
When comparing long/short ratios, make sure you distinguish between account counts and position sizes—the same figure means different things depending on which one it refers to.
Finally, here’s the market update: $BTC reports 65304 (24h -1.71%).
