NET Positions +
The Most Accurate Global View of Long/Short Positioning and Squeeze Risk
Qatalog’s NET Positions + is a state-of-the-art positioning analytics tool, engineered to deliver the most accurate, real-time view of global net longs and shorts across the market. Designed for professional traders who seek to understand the true landscape of market sentiment and positioning, NET Positions + empowers users to identify areas of crowding, anticipate short and long squeezes, and strategically position themselves ahead of major market moves.
Why NET Positions + Is Essential for Modern Trading
In today’s highly leveraged and fast-moving markets, understanding where the majority of traders are positioned is critical. Price action alone often hides the underlying tension between bulls and bears. NET Positions + lifts the curtain, providing a transparent, quantitative breakdown of global net long and short exposure—helping traders spot where the market is most vulnerable to forced liquidations, squeezes, and rapid reversals.
Key Features and Analytical Capabilities
Accurate Aggregation of Global Long/Short Positioning
Real-time data aggregation: NET Positions + pulls together open interest, funding rates, and position data from major exchanges and liquidity venues, offering a consolidated and up-to-date view of where traders are net long or short.
Visual net exposure: Instantly see the balance of longs vs. shorts, with intuitive color-coded charts and histograms that highlight imbalances and shifts in sentiment.
Squeeze Zone Identification
Crowded positioning alerts: The tool automatically detects when positioning becomes one-sided—such as extreme net long or net short build-ups—flagging these as potential squeeze zones.
Squeeze risk mapping: By overlaying net positioning with price action and liquidity data, NET Positions + highlights areas where a sharp move could force traders on the wrong side to liquidate, leading to rapid price acceleration (short squeeze or long squeeze).
Actionable Insights for Strategic Trading
Pre-emptive opportunity detection: Identify when the market is primed for a squeeze before it happens, allowing you to position on the right side of the move or avoid being caught in a liquidation cascade.
Dynamic adjustment: As positioning shifts, NET Positions + updates in real time, ensuring you are never trading with outdated information.
Custom Alerts and Integration
Customizable thresholds: Set alerts for when net long/short ratios reach user-defined extremes, or when rapid changes in positioning occur.
Seamless integration: Use NET Positions + alongside Qatalog’s other professional tools—such as OI Profile Pro, Delta Print Candles, and TPO analytics—for a holistic, multi-dimensional market view.
Multi-Asset, Multi-Market Compatibility
Works across all major crypto, futures, and derivatives markets (and any asset with available positioning data on Tradingview).
Adaptable to all timeframes: From intraday scalping to swing trading, NET Positions + provides the insight needed for every trading style.
Strategic Advantages for Professional Traders
Anticipate and exploit squeezes: By knowing where the herd is positioned, you can preemptively enter trades that profit from forced liquidations and rapid price moves.
Risk management: Avoid being caught in crowded trades and reduce exposure to sudden, adverse market moves.
Sentiment confirmation: Validate trade ideas by cross-referencing price action with net positioning data—trades that align with both are higher probability.
Qatalog’s NET Positions + is the definitive tool for traders seeking to understand and act on global net long/short positioning. By delivering the most accurate, real-time view of trader exposure and highlighting squeeze risks, it empowers users to anticipate market moves, manage risk, and trade with confidence—making it an essential pillar of the Qatalog trading suite.
