Read the weekly CFTC report on your chart and see whether funds, commercial hedgers, and smaller traders are net long or net short.
Futures and macro-aware traders who want to see whether a move is backed by fresh positioning or already crowded, directly on the chart they already use.
Net-position lines for funds, commercial hedgers, and smaller traders, plus simple views showing whether current positioning is unusually crowded.
Research and education only — not trade signals, not advice. Crowded positioning can persist for a long time before it resolves, and extreme readings are context, not a timing trigger.
See who is long, who is short, and by how much.
Know whether today's positioning is unusual, not just which way it leans.
See whether an extreme position is easing or becoming more crowded.

Individual equities don't trade as futures contracts, so there's no COT report to show. Positioning covers the major index, metal, energy, rate, currency, crypto and grain futures — chart the underlying future or a closely tracking ETF (GLD for gold, SPY for the S&P, and so on) to see the data.
Yes. The underlying positions come from the CFTC's public weekly report. astrostock places that data on the chart without estimating missing positions.
