The weekly CFTC Commitments-of-Traders report, read directly on your chart — fund, commercial and small-trader net positions for the futures market behind your symbol.
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, commercials and small traders, a normalized COT Index, and a smoothed COT Stochastic — all reading the real weekly CFTC report for your symbol's futures market.
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.
Smooth the index the same way you'd smooth a price stochastic.
Positioning ships with Pro, alongside Adaptive Filters, the astro research suite, Gann toolkit, Cycle Suite, Statistical and Extremes modules.
read the full guideThe CFTC publishes the report every Friday, covering positions as of the prior Tuesday. Positioning refreshes on that same weekly cadence — it will never be more current than the CFTC's own release schedule.
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 — it's the CFTC's own public legacy futures-only report, the same source used across the industry. We add the charting, the index normalization and the stochastic smoothing; we don't alter or estimate the underlying positions.
