Retail Position Intelligence
Beyond the price
Understand the crowd.
Price tells you where the market has been. Positioning can help you understand where market participants are exposed.
We provide comprehensive insights into retail traders’ positions across various financial markets. We gather data from reputable brokers, carefully aggregate and analyse it, and present it in easy-to-understand charts.
Our platform offers visibility into retail positioning across Stocks, Forex pairs and cryptocurrencies. The premium version provides an expanded selection of more than 100 pairs and extensive historical data for deeper analysis.
Our charts display Short and Long percentages derived from aggregated positions, together with the difference between them. Monitoring this difference can help identify changes in retail sentiment. A crossing of the zero line may indicate a change in positioning balance.
We also provide the total number of Short and Long positions, total open positions and average entry prices for buyers and sellers.
Increasing participation, crowded positioning and changes in average entry prices can provide additional context when you analyse price action and market conditions.
What the data reveals
Read the positioning.
Retail positioning is not a standalone trading signal. It is another source of information that can add context to your market analysis.
Contrarian Analysis
Identify periods of unusually concentrated positioning. Extreme sentiment can provide useful context when evaluating possible reversals.
Liquidity and Volume
Monitor changes in open positions and participation. These changes can help identify areas of potential congestion or changing market activity.
Market Dynamics
Observe changes in retail buying and selling activity to add another perspective to broader market trends.
Average Entry Prices
Compare average entry prices for buyers and sellers. Understand where aggregated positions may be exposed to changing market prices.
Risk Management
Monitor crowded positioning and changes in participation. Use this information as additional context when assessing volatility and exposure.
Understand the numbers
Look beyond the price.
A market price is the result of transactions. Retail positioning provides another perspective: the distribution of aggregated open positions among participating traders.
The difference between Long and Short percentages can help you identify shifts in sentiment. Changes in total open positions can reveal whether participation is increasing or decreasing.
Neither measure predicts price direction on its own. Their value comes from combining positioning data with price action, liquidity and broader market information.
