Forex - Long-Short Ratios, Open Trades and Open Orders

[OddTrader]

These charts look somehow useful.

Are they really/ practically useful? Does anyone use them constantly? How do you use them?

No wonder market making in forex is so profitable.

In EUR/USD 30% of the shorts have an open position loss of 300 pips or more.

And about 27% of the longs have an open position loss of 300 - 400 pips.

Either they have a lot of hedging customers or a lot of dumb customers.

Think that supplying historical data would be interesting for backtesting.
