Huitong Finance reminds readers that the positioning signals are derived from a comparison of "latest net long %" and "yesterday's net long %." If net longs increase, the signal is "net longs expanding." If net longs shift from negative to positive, this implies a "reversal to net longs," and so forth. In the table, "latest net long %" refers to the current difference between percentage of longs and percentage of shorts, while "yesterday's net long %" refers to the most recent prior update (usually from the previous trading day), for comparative purposes. A negative net long means that the percentage of longs is less than the percentage of shorts. A positive net long means that the percentage of longs exceeds that of shorts. By comparing the latest and previous net long %, a total of 13 positioning signals—including net longs expanding, net longs decreasing, net shorts unchanged, net shorts shifting to balanced, and others—are identified and only those matching current data comparisons are shown in the chart.
