COTInsight information
What is COTInsight?
COTInsight turns the weekly CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) report into ranked, comparable signals across 475+ futures, FX, commodity and crypto markets.
By law, the largest traders on earth report how they are positioned every week, to the public. Almost no one uses it, because the CFTC publishes it as hundreds of cryptic files with no history or context. COTInsight does the reading for you.
The moment the report drops each Friday, every market is scored on nine analytical layers:
- 52-week z-score: how extreme positioning is, on a scale that makes every market directly comparable (a +2.0 in crude means the same as a +2.0 in euro)
- 3-year COT Index (0 to 100)
- Eight-state regime classifier: building, distributing, extreme long or short
- Price-vs-positioning divergence detection
- Open-interest trend and small-speculator extremes
- Participant breakdown: managed money, commercials, swap dealers
- Net-positioning history and historical outcome statistics
Because everything is normalized to a z-score, a single heatmap ranks all 475+ markets by how stretched positioning is, so the most extreme surface instantly. Automatic alerts fire when any market crosses ±1.5 standard deviations, and commodity data uses the futures-and-options-combined report for a complete picture, up to 16 years of weekly history behind every signal.
Ultimate adds the full edge: forward outcome stats (win rate and median move 4, 8 and 12 weeks out), the exclusive TradingView indicator (z-score, COT Index, momentum, regime on 50+ symbols), a forward curve view, VS comparison, a futures-only view, AI insights, PDF reports, the full archive, and a REST API.
Built for active futures, FX, commodity and crypto traders: contrarians fading crowded extremes, trend-followers confirming institutional flow, and systematic traders.
