CFTC Commitments of Traders

Who is actually positioned, week by week

The CFTC publishes every large trader's long and short futures positions each Friday, as of the previous Tuesday. This dashboard plots those net positions underneath price for 35 markets across equity indices, rates, currencies, metals, energy, ags and crypto — and classifies each one as a bullish or bearish divergence, a healthy convergence, or no signal.

New to this? Read the plain-English guide — what the report is, who the trader groups are, and how to read every number here.

Latest report: positions as of Tuesday Jul 28, 2026, published Friday Jul 31, 2026 · 1 active divergence

How to read these cards

A snapshot of who is positioned which way in this market right now.

COT index (1y)
Where this group's net position sits inside its own past year, on a 0–100 scale. Above 80 is about as long as they ever get; below 20 is about as short.
Gap index (1y)
How far apart the two named trader groups are, also 0–100. Readings near 0 or 100 mean the two sides disagree more sharply than usual.
Signal chip
Divergence means price and positioning disagree (a warning). Convergence means they agree (a healthy trend). No signal means nothing stands out.
