long short ratio

Summary
Transform your analysis with a clear view of the market's true engine: capital.

The Long/Short Ratio HUD is a visual analysis tool designed to offer an instant perspective on the battle between buyers and sellers. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only measure the quantity of assets traded, this HUD measures the actual monetary value (e.g., USD, USDT) flowing into the market, giving you a much more accurate reading of true sentiment and conviction.

This indicator is presented as a clean, non-intrusive Heads-Up Display (HUD) in a corner of your chart, allowing you to keep your workspace clear while receiving high-value information.

Key Features
Intuitive Sentiment Bar: Instantly visualize the percentage of dominance between buyers (green) and sellers (red) in the current timeframe.

True Monetary Volume: Calculations are not based on simple volume (number of shares or coins) but on quote volume (Volume x Price). Discover how much real capital is backing the bulls and bears.

Data Smoothing: It uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the volume data, showing the trend in sentiment rather than the noise of a single candle.

Non-Intrusive HUD: Docks to your chosen corner, displaying essential information without cluttering your price action and analysis.

Smart Number Formatting: Large monetary volumes are automatically abbreviated (e.g., 2.1M for millions, 850K for thousands) for a quick and easy read.

Fully Customizable: Easily adjust the HUD's position and the EMA's length (sensitivity) to fit your trading style.

How It Works & How to Interpret It
The indicator analyzes each candle's structure (body and wicks) along with its monetary volume to determine the buying and selling pressure.

Sentiment Calculation:

A green candle with a large body and a high close indicates strong buying pressure.

A red candle with a large body and a low close indicates strong selling pressure.

Long wicks signify a battle; the indicator intelligently distributes the volume to reflect who won that intra-bar fight.

Practical Interpretation:

Clear Dominance (e.g., > 70% Green): Suggests strong control by buyers. Look for confirmation of a trend continuation.

Balance (~50%/50%) with High Monetary Volume: Indicates a major battle or an absorption phase. Although significant capital is being traded, there is no clear winner. This is a key signal to be alert for a potential reversal or consolidation.

Divergences: One of the most powerful signals. If the price is rising but the buying sentiment on the HUD is decreasing, it could indicate that the uptrend is losing capital momentum and is vulnerable to a correction.
