FX168 reminds you that the position signal is derived by comparing the "Latest Net Long Position %" and "Yesterday's Net Long Position %" data. An increase in net long positions indicates "expansion of net long positions," while a change from negative to positive net long positions indicates "reversal to net long positions," and so on. In the table, "Latest Net Long Position %" refers to the current "long position percentage minus short position percentage," and "Yesterday's Net Long Position %" represents the last updated (usually updated on the previous trading day) net long position data for comparison. A negative net long position means the long position percentage < the short position percentage. A positive net long position means the long position percentage > the short position percentage. By comparing the latest net long position percentage with yesterday's (previous trading day's net long position percentage), the resulting "position signals" cover 13 types, including "net long position expansion, net long position decrease, net short position unchanged, and net short position turning into a balance between long and short." Several of these signals are displayed based on actual data comparison results, as detailed in the charts in this article. These position signals are for reference only and should not be used as the basis for trading decisions. Current price movements may contradict the direction indicated by these positions; these contradictions may contain potential opportunities. Furthermore, subsequent price movements are influenced by various complex factors, and traders must make their own decisions.
