Shows the ratio of crypto accounts holding longs to accounts holding shorts, from the exchange's own published figures, in a lower pane.
Overview
Long/Short Ratio adds a lower pane with one line: the number of accounts long divided by the number short, as published by the exchange. A dashed line marks 1, where the two are equal.
In Settings you can pick the source: all accounts on one of three exchanges, or, where an exchange publishes them, its top traders by accounts or by positions.
How it works
Your browser reads the exchange's public long/short ratio history for the coin on the chart, every 5 minutes or longer, using the finest step that is not longer than your bar. Each bar takes the last reading at or before its close.
The exchange decides who counts as a top trader; the ratio is shown as the exchange gives it.
How to use it
- Some traders watch for a ratio far above or below 1 as a sign of crowding on one side.
- Use it next to the funding rate to see whether both point to the same side.
- Some traders compare all accounts with top traders to see whether they lean the same way.
These are ways some traders read it, for learning. They are not trade signals.

Notes and limits
- It counts accounts (or, for one top-trader source, positions), not the size of each position.
- Crypto perpetuals only. An exchange that does not serve your region is shown as not available; pick another source in Settings.
