Retail

Open GBP/CAD on TradingViewCharts drawn with TradingView Lightweight Charts™ · Copyright (с) 2025 TradingView, Inc. Daily candles from our broker price feed, 2 October 2023 to 13 November 2026 (bid prices; the day closes at 17:00 New York); weekly and monthly candles are built from them. Drag to pan; scroll, drag the time axis or pinch to zoom. On a touch screen, drag the price scale with one finger to move the chart up or down, with two to stretch it, and double-tap it to reset. The 15-minute, hourly and four-hour candles come from the same feed and load when you pick them; older ones load by themselves as you scroll left, back to the start of the archive. Four-hour candles open at 17:00, 21:00, 01:00, 05:00, 09:00 and 13:00 New York, as on TradingView. Their last candle is still forming and refreshes about every minute while the view is open. On those views the retail positioning is drawn as steps: it is a snapshot every 3 hours, not a minute-by-minute reading. Retail positioning: daily snapshots since 12 May 2025, 494 so far · latest 48% long at 13 Nov 21:00 UTC; on the weekly and monthly views it is the average of the trading days. From 60% on one side it counts as crowded and from 75% as extreme, the same three states the Trade Panel shows. The positioning is refreshed every 3 hours on weekdays, not real-time.

How GBP/CAD positioning is sitting

Retail positioning · updated 13 Nov, 21:00 UTC

Retail traders are currently 52% short on GBP/CAD — balanced enough that our signals give positioning no contrarian weight, which they only start to do beyond 60%. That is 14 points more long than a week ago. The crowd has stayed net short for 10 readings in a row. Across the last 21 readings it has swung between 18% and 69% long.

A week ago34% long (6 Nov)

Range, last 21 readings18–69% long

Now48% long / 52% short

We read positioning against the crowd: the more one-sided it is, the more weight it carries as a contrarian signal, and below 60% it carries none. It is one of five factors in the signal for this pair — never a trade on its own. The full read, with levels, patterns and volatility, is on the GBP/CAD analysis page.
