Every Forex pair on this page carries a number most traders never check before entering a trade: how the rest of the market is actually positioned right now. Not an opinion. Not a guess. The real, live share of traders currently holding a Long position versus a Short position on that exact pair.
This page reads that positioning directly, in plain terms. If more of the market is Long, the card says Buy. If more of the market is Short, it says Sell. No hidden flip, no "the crowd is always wrong" trick applied behind the scenes — what you see is exactly what real accounts are doing.
Where This Data Actually Comes From
The numbers on this page are pulled from Myfxbook's Community Outlook — an aggregate of real trading accounts connected to Myfxbook, refreshed automatically in the background every 15 minutes. It isn't a survey, a poll, or a sentiment index built from social media chatter. It's the actual Long/Short split of live trading positions across major currency pairs, Gold, and Oil.
How To Read Each Card
Every card shows the same four things:
- Long % — the share of traders currently holding a buy position on that pair
- Short % — the share holding a sell position
- A colored bar splitting the two, so you can see the balance at a glance
- A label summarizing it: Buy / Strong Buy when Long dominates, Sell / Strong Sell when Short dominates, or Neutral when the market is roughly split down the middle
"Strong Buy" or "Strong Sell" simply means the split is lopsided — 80% or more of the market leaning one way. "Neutral" means the market genuinely can't decide, usually somewhere between 45–55%.
How To Actually Use This While Trading
1. Use it to confirm — not replace — your own analysis
If your chart setup on EURUSD points to a bullish move and this page also shows a real Buy majority, that's two independent signals agreeing. If they disagree, that's a reason to slow down and double-check your setup before entering, not a reason to panic.
2. Watch how the split moves over the day
Sentiment isn't static. A pair moving from Neutral toward Strong Buy over a few hours often lines up with real momentum building. Refresh the page occasionally through your trading session rather than checking it once.
3. Treat extreme readings as a flag to watch more closely, not a signal to reverse
Some traders do use crowd extremes as a contrarian warning sign — the idea being that when almost everyone is already Long, there are fewer new buyers left to keep pushing the price up. If that's part of your own strategy, this page gives you the real numbers to apply it. But that interpretation is a choice you make on top of the data, not something this page decides for you.
4. Don't trade on this page alone
Positioning data is one input. It says nothing about support/resistance, news events, or your own risk management. Use it alongside your chart, not instead of it.
A Quick Note on Honesty
This widget used to run on a third-party service that displayed sentiment in reverse (showing "Sell" when the market was actually mostly Long). It's been rebuilt from scratch to pull real data directly and display it exactly as it is — Buy in green when the market is Long-heavy, Sell in red when it's Short-heavy. What you see here is the real, current split — nothing more, nothing less.
