> Monitor live retail trading positions and sentiment across forex, metals, indices, commodities, and crypto to see what percentage of traders are betting long or short on each asset. Use contrarian signals to identify potential trading opportunities when retail sentiment becomes extremely skewed in one direction.

Pay-per-use API proxy for Locus Pro. Each call burns credits from your workspace balance.

## Access

**Base URL:** `https://api.beta.paywithlocus.com/api/wrapped/credits/a1trading/`
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer <LOCUS_CREDITS_SECRET_KEY>` (an `lcr_` secret key or a scoped `lcac_` agent credential)
**Required header:** `Idempotency-Key: <fresh UUID per call>`. A retry with the same key replays the stored result without a new charge.
**Response:** the provider response after any endpoint-specific normalization. `X-Locus-Credits-Charged` carries the charge and `X-Locus-Credits-Balance` the remaining balance. Insufficient credits return `402` before the provider is called.
**Pricing:** estimated costs below are USD. Locus debits the credit equivalent at your workspace rate.

> Using a Pay With Locus wallet key (`claw_` prefix)? Wallet routes are documented separately: https://docs.paywithlocus.com/wrapped-apis/for-agents

## Endpoints

### Get retail sentiment

Retrieves live retail sentiment data showing what percentage of retail traders are long vs short on each instrument, along with the contrarian signal (Bearish when majority is long, Bullish when majority is short, Neutral when balanced). Results are sorted by long percentage descending. When no category is specified, returns all instruments across all categories. Each instrument includes its pair name, long/short split as percentages summing to 100, and a contrarian signal derived from the imbalance.

**Estimated cost:** Metered
