Long/Short ratio

The long to short ratio on Binance (USDT contract), every 5 minutes, in three cuts:

• All accounts («Все аккаунты»): the crowd, the share of accounts that are long.
• Top: accounts («Топ: аккаунты»): top traders by number of accounts.
• Top: positions («Топ: позиции»): top traders by position size.

How to read it

• The crowd is long while the top traders by positions are short: big money against the crowd, a reason to be careful.
• The crowd’s long share jumps during a drop: catching a falling knife, fuel for the drop to continue.
• Look at the change, not the level: on most coins the crowd is almost always long.

Settings

View («Вид»)

• Change («Изменение»): how much the long share rose (green) or fell (red) over the period: 68 % → 70 % = +2 %. If the candle is longer than the period, it is compared with the previous candle.
• Divergence («Расхождение»): top by positions minus all accounts; up means big traders are more long than the crowd.
• Lines («Линии»): the levels themselves.
