What this data is

CFTC positioning (COT)

Every Friday at 3:30 pm Eastern the CFTC publishes who held what in US futures markets as of the previous Tuesday. Large traders are grouped by what they do, not who they are, and the report shows each group's long, short and spread positions. That's the Commitments of Traders report, published weekly for futures on currencies, rates, equity indices, energy, metals and agriculture.

Financial futures use the Traders in Financial Futures format: dealers and intermediaries, asset managers and institutional investors, leveraged funds, and other reportables. Commodities use the disaggregated format: producers, merchants, processors and users; swap dealers; managed money; and other reportables. Positions too small to report are shown as nonreportable in both.

The categories aren't interchangeable. Leveraged funds in currencies and managed money in commodities are the speculative crowd most people mean by 'the COT'. Asset managers and producers are the slower, structural side. This page lists the markets in the latest report with that week's positions; each market page shows the full history and the net position by category.

How to read it

  • Look at the net position of the speculative category (leveraged funds or managed money) relative to its own history, not its absolute size.
  • When speculators and the structural side (asset managers or producers) sit at opposite ends of their own ranges, the two groups are positioned against each other.
  • Open interest is the denominator. A net long that grew while open interest shrank is a crowd getting smaller, not more confident.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the COT report released?
The CFTC releases the report every Friday at around 3:30pm Eastern Time, covering positions held as of the preceding Tuesday. The new week appears here the same evening.
What do the trader categories mean?
Dealers are sell-side intermediaries hedging client flow. Asset managers are institutional investors such as pension funds. Leveraged funds are hedge funds and CTAs, the category most traders watch for speculative positioning. Nonreportables are positions too small to require reporting.
What is a net position?
Net position is a category's long contracts minus its short contracts. A large positive net means the category is positioned for prices to rise; a large negative net means it is positioned for prices to fall.
How far back does your COT history go?
Our charts currently cover 2010 to today for financial futures and commodities, sourced directly from official CFTC archives, and the dataset grows every week.
Is COT data useful for forex traders?
Yes. Currency futures positioning at the CME shows how large speculators lean on the euro, yen and pound. It's one input, not advice.
