Common questions about this view

What does the 1-sigma band show?

One standard deviation above and below the long-run weekly average of NET positions across every prior year in our history. About 68 percent of years fall inside it — stepping outside is where the current year is doing something unusual.

Why does seasonality matter for COT?

Many futures markets have genuine calendar-driven flows — heating oil into winter, agricultural hedgers at planting and harvest, gold into year-end. Seasonality separates those calendar flows from a genuine regime shift.

How many years of history do you use?

Every year on file for the selected market — typically 10 to 15 years for the major FX and commodity contracts. Markets with less history (newer contracts) show a wider band because the sample is smaller.

Advanced Charts — Common Questions

What do I get with Advanced Charts?

Four decision-grade views built on the same CFTC Commitments of Traders data our free reports use, computed at lookbacks and across cross-sections retail tools don't cover: multi-horizon percentile matrix per market, speculator crowding league table, 36×36 correlation heatmap, and auto-flagged price-positioning divergences.

How often are Advanced Charts updated?

Every Friday around 3:30 PM ET, right after the CFTC publishes the weekly Commitments of Traders report. The correlation heatmap is server-computed once per release and cached; everything else refreshes on-demand from the same Supabase snapshot our free reports read.

Can I try Advanced Charts before subscribing?

The /cot-index page is a free single-timeframe version of the Matrix view — use it as a preview of the visual style and the underlying math. Advanced Charts is where the grid + cross-market + divergence layers unlock.
