Reminder from Huitong Finance

Position signals are derived by comparing the "latest net long %" with the "previous update net long %".

An increase in net longs is signaled as "net long expansion"; a shift from negative to positive net longs is "position reversal to net long", and so on.

In the table:

Latest net long % = current long percentage minus short percentage
Previous update net long % refers to the net long data from the last update (usually the previous trading day) for comparison.

Negative net long = long percentage < short percentage

Positive net long = long percentage > short percentage

From the comparison between the latest net long % and the previous trading day’s net long %, the interpreted "position signals" cover 13 types, including net long expansion, net long reduction, no change in net shorts, shift from net shorts to neutral, etc. Corresponding signals are displayed based on actual data comparison. For details, see the chart in this article.

These position signals are for reference only and shall not be used as trading basis.

Current price movements may contradict the direction indicated by positions, which may imply potential opportunities. Meanwhile, future price trends are affected by various complex factors, so traders must make their own decisions.
