  • Position Ratios—Shows the percentage of open positions held for each of the major currency pairs. For each pair, the percentage represents the total open positions (both long and short) relative to the total number of positions held for all the major currency pairs. Note that the percentages always add up to 100%, even though minor currency pairs are not included in the calculations.

  • Long-Short Ratios—Shows the ratio of long vs. short positions for each of the major currency pairs. The left percentage shows long positions; the right percentage shows short positions.
