FX168 reminds you that the position signal is derived by comparing the "Latest Net Long Position %" with the "Yesterday's Net Long Position %". An increase in net long positions indicates "expansion of net long positions", while a change from negative to positive indicates "reversal to net long positions". 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 the previous trading day's) net long position data for comparison. A negative net long position means the long position percentage is less than the short position percentage. A positive net long position means the percentage of long positions exceeds the percentage of short positions. 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 shifting to a balance between long and short positions." Some of these signals are shown in the charts below, based on actual data comparisons. These position signals are for reference only and should not be used as the basis for trading decisions. Current price movements may contradict the position indications; these contradictions may contain potential opportunities. Furthermore, subsequent price movements are influenced by various complex factors, and traders must make their own decisions.
