Frequently Asked Questions
What is the COT Comparison page?
COT Comparison loads any two CFTC futures markets side-by-side with synchronised dates. It is designed for cross-asset positioning analysis — for example comparing Euro vs US Dollar Index speculative positioning, Gold vs Silver, Crude Oil vs Natural Gas, or correlated currency pairs.
How does COT comparison work?
Pick a primary market and a secondary market from the searchable selectors. The page fetches both markets' weekly Non-Commercial positioning histories and aligns them on the same timeline. You can switch the time period (year-to-date through 10 years) and the comparison metric (net position, weekly change, percentage of open interest).
Which markets can I compare?
All 380 CFTC-tracked futures markets are available for comparison. Common cross-comparisons include EUR vs USD Index, Gold vs Silver, WTI vs Brent crude oil, 10-year Notes vs 30-year Bonds, and S&P 500 vs Nasdaq 100 for equity-index relative positioning.
Are longer time periods available?
Year-to-date, 3-month and 6-month comparisons are free for all visitors. 1-year through 10-year periods unlock with a free account. Premium accounts get full historical depth and CSV export of the comparison dataset.
What insight does cross-market COT give me?
Cross-market positioning often reveals macro themes invisible in any single market — for example, hedge funds rotating from EUR longs into Japanese yen longs may signal a regime change in carry-trade dynamics. Comparison lets you visualise those rotations directly instead of inferring them from separate single-market views.
