A negative net long indicates that longs < shorts, while a positive net long indicates longs > shorts. Based on the comparison of the latest net long% and previous net long% (last trading day’s net long%), the interpretation covers a total of 13 types of “position signals”, such as “net long increase, net long decrease, no change in net short, net short turns to balanced positions,” etc. Actual comparison results are illustrated accordingly in this article’s chart.
