How to read it. A ratio above 1 (green) means takers bought more LTC than they sold over the window; below 1 (red), more selling. Within 3% of 1 counts as even. The history chart shows the taker buy share, buys ÷ (buys + sells): 50% is a ratio of 1, 55% about 1.22. Its long history is Gate's LTC USDT perpetual (hourly, from October 2023, where Gate's history is stored); Binance's 5-minute futures taker ratio is shown from when this site began recording it. Net dollar flow is on the LTC CVD page, positioning on the LTC long/short ratio, price and funding on the LTC page. Not financial advice.

LTC taker buy/sell ratio FAQ
What does the LTC taker buy/sell ratio show?
It is LTC taker buy volume divided by taker sell volume, from this site's 1-minute bars of every exchange that reports a taker split. The history chart plots the taker buy share (buys over buys plus sells; 50% is a ratio of 1) for Gate's LTC USDT perpetual from October 2023 and Binance's LTC futures since this site began recording it.
What is the taker buy/sell ratio?
A taker is the side of a trade that crosses the spread with a market order. The taker buy/sell ratio is the volume bought by takers divided by the volume sold by takers over a window. A ratio of 1.20 means takers bought 20% more than they sold; 0.80 means they sold 25% more than they bought. It measures aggression, not positioning: every trade has a buyer and a seller, and the ratio only says which side was in a hurry.
How is it calculated here, and what is left out?
From the 1-minute bars this site records from each exchange's public feed: taker buys are the bar's taker buy volume and taker sells are its volume minus taker buys, summed over the window. Minutes whose feed carries no taker buy/sell split (a feed without the split, the first minute after a reconnect, or one the stream missed) are excluded from both sides rather than counted as selling. When nothing at all was sold the ratio is undefined and shown as a dash.
