The scale

Seven steps say how clearly one side outweighs the other. Each step stands for a whole range of readings. Retail traders and large funds sit on the same scale; for the funds it measures the group's reported contracts, long against short.

: strongly: one side dominates so clearly that the other barely counts.
: clearly: one side clearly outweighs the other, which still carries weight.
: slightly: one side narrowly outweighs the other.
: balanced: long and short are in balance.

How it is measured

The retail data shows anonymised, aggregated live positions of many retail traders in the spot market. A pair shows how its positions split between long and short; a currency adds up its positions across all pairs. The previous week means the state one week earlier; the marks on the price chart sit one day and one week back.

The volume

Retail volume shows the open positions of retail traders compared with one week earlier; "positions" means the reported open volume. Each step stands for a range here too: steady means little has shifted, clearly more and clearly fewer positions stand for a large shift.

Three sources, kept apart

Exchange flow and funds come from the futures exchange and appear the same way in the exchange view. The retail row comes from the spot market. Each source stays on its own; the pair line only compares their sides.

How to read this view

Retail leans against the move

Our measurements of the last eight years show retail traders leaning against the move in progress. How you read that opposite side is yours to decide.

What this overview refers to

This overview shows who sits on which side. It names no direction and no timing.

When all three line up

When all three sit on the same side, the row shows it at a glance. What you make of it belongs to your own plan.
