Yes, the long and short positions at a certain stage are inconsistent. But at some point, the total bulls and bears are the same.

For example, on July 27th, the methanol futures company (the total approximate number of the whole month) was in the top 20 positions, with a single position 142 19000 lots and a long-short ratio of 1.0 1.065438 13600 lots. The net position was 8,254 lots, a decrease of 1.50 million lots compared with the previous day.
