FX678 reminds you that the position signals are derived by comparing the latest "net long %" and yesterday's "net long %". An increase in net long positions indicates an "expansion of net long positions", while a change from negative to positive indicates a "reversal of positions to net long positions". In the table, "latest net long %" refers to the current "long percentage minus short percentage", and "yesterday's net long %" represents the last updated (usually the previous trading day's) net long position data for comparison. A negative net long position means the long percentage < the short percentage. A positive net long position means the long percentage > the short percentage. From the perspective of comparing the latest net long % with yesterday's net long % (the previous trading day's net long %), the interpreted "position signals" cover 13 types, including "expansion of net long positions, decrease of net long positions, no change in net short positions, and a shift to a balance between long and short positions". Some of these signals are displayed based on the actual data comparison results; see the charts in this article for details. This position signal is for reference only and should not be used as a basis for trading. The current price movement may contradict the direction indicated by the position signal. These contradictions may contain potential opportunities. Furthermore, subsequent price movements are influenced by various complex factors, and traders must make their own decisions.
