BTC: Futures Top Trader Long/Short Ratio by Venue (Accounts)
Shown as its 2–31 Oct 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Plus.
The long/short ratio of the largest BTC perpetual traders on Binance, OKX and HTX by headcount: how many of them are net long for each one net short.
Why use it. Counting heads shows how widely a view is shared among the large traders; set against the position ratio it shows whether a few big positions or many smaller ones drive the lean. How to read it. Above 1, more top traders are long than short. When the account ratio is far above the position ratio, many top traders are long but the biggest positions are short.
Calculation. Each venue picks its top traders itself: Binance its top 20% of accounts by margin balance, OKX and HTX their largest accounts as each defines them. HTX's account ratio leaves out accounts holding both sides. A period's value is each venue's last sample in it; the summary value averages the venues present.
