W Long/Short Ratio FAQ
Are the top W traders on Hyperliquid long or short right now?
As of 2026-10-18 17:37 UTC, 22.4% of open W notional held by profitable Hyperliquid traders is long ($154K long vs $537K short across 7 positions). Retail wallets are 22.8% long on W.
What is the W Taker Buy/Sell ratio?
Market buys divided by market sells in the W perp over the window. Above 1 means aggressive buying dominated; below 1, aggressive selling. It reflects short-term flow, not positioning.
What do Retail, Whale Account and Whale Position mean?
Retail counts every tracked wallet with an open W position once, by net side. Whale Account does the same for wallets with $1M+ equity; Whale Position weighs those wallets by open notional. Smart Money weighs wallets with $10,000+ verified lifetime profit by open notional.
Why doesn't a high ratio mean more money is long?
On a derivatives exchange each long is matched by a short of the same size. A ratio above 1 means more accounts (or more capital within one group) sit long than short — the counterparty capital is on the other side, often concentrated in fewer, larger hands.
