Open Position Ratios

These graphs summarize the open positions from OANDA's books. Use them to compare current trading activity for the major currency pairs.

Sampled Hourly

  • Long-Short Ratios—Identify whether traders are longing or shorting the major currency pairs, and by how much. This graph (on the left) plots colored bars showing the ratio of long positions to short positions, one bar for each currency pair. Values are in percentages (the higher the bar, the higher the percentage of long positions).

  • Position Ratios—Identify which currency pairs have the most open positions. This pie chart (on the right) shows the ratios of the open positions (both long and short) held for each major currency pair relative to the number of all positions for all the major currency pairs.
