Frequently asked questions
What is the long/short ratio?
It is the share of trader accounts holding a net long position compared with those holding a net short position on a perpetual futures contract. A ratio above 1 means more accounts are long than short.
Does a high long/short ratio mean the price will go up?
No. The ratio counts accounts, not money: many small accounts can be long while a few large ones are short. Very one-sided positioning is often read as a contrarian warning rather than a signal to follow.
How often is it updated?
The source publishes a new value every 5 minutes, so the figures can look unchanged between refreshes. The time of the latest snapshot is shown above the table.
Where does this data come from?
From USDT-margined perpetual futures (global long/short account ratio) through a third-party public market data API. Information only — not investment advice.
