Long/short ratio

The balance of trader accounts or positions on the long side versus the short side.

The long/short ratio compares the weight of long positions against short positions on an exchange, usually as a ratio of accounts or of position size. A ratio above 1 means longs outnumber shorts; below 1 means the reverse. It is a crowd-positioning gauge, not a timing signal.
