COT Net Positioning [ConfluenceEdge]

Net positioning from the weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders report — one line per group, plotted as net contracts (long minus short).

The three groups

  • Commercials (blue): hedgers — producers and consumers of the physical commodity. Their net position is the "smart money" side of the report.
  • Non-Commercials (red): large speculators — funds and trend followers. Usually the opposite side of the commercials.
  • Retail (green): small, non-reportable traders. Often treated as the contrarian side — but sometimes just small commercials that did not cross the reporting threshold.


How to use it

  • The three lines are net (long minus short), so rising = adding longs or covering shorts
  • Toggle each group on/off — the default shows Commercials + Non-Commercials for a clean read
  • Works on any symbol with a COT code (futures, FX, indices, metals, energies, crypto via root auto-detection)
  • Weekly data — use daily+ timeframes
