Huitong Finance reminds that the position signals are derived from comparing the “latest net long %” with the “yesterday’s net long %” data. An increase in net long indicates “net long expansion”; a change from negative to positive net long indicates a “position reversal to net long.”
In the table, “latest net long %” refers to the current “long ratio minus short ratio,” and “yesterday’s net long %” shows the last update (usually the previous trading day).
A negative net long means long ratio < short ratio; a positive net long means long ratio > short ratio.
By comparing the latest net long % with yesterday’s, the “position signals” include 13 types such as “net long expansion,” “net long reduction,” “no change in net short,” “net short to balanced,” etc. The actual displayed signals depend on the data comparison results, as shown in the chart.
These position signals are for reference only and not for trading decisions. Market price movements may contradict position indicators, which could imply potential opportunities. Additionally, future price trends are influenced by complex factors, so traders should make their own judgments.
