Post subject:  Sentiment Index: is it weighted by positions amount?

the question concerns the calculation of the Sentiment Index https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Sentiment_index
is it the number of long positions / all active positions * 100 ?
or is it the total amount of long positions / total amount of positions * 100 ? where positions are weighted by their amount?

I suppose the second is true?

I have the same concern. Does anybody know the answer to this question?
