Simplified
Weekly data per market (6 months without an account, up to 10 years with a free one) with Non-Commercial, Commercial, and Non-Reportable positions.
The COT Weekly Summary is a single-table overview of the latest CFTC Commitments of Traders release. Instead of one market at a time, it lists 35 key futures markets in one scrollable view with this week's Non-Commercial, Commercial and Non-Reportable net positions plus the week-over-week change, in contracts and in percent.
02
How is the Weekly Summary different from the Simplified report?
+−
The Simplified report shows one market at a time, week by week, for one trader category (Non-Commercial by default). The Weekly Summary shows all three trader categories (Non-Commercial, Commercial, Non-Reportable) for the latest week only, designed for cross-market scanning rather than time-series analysis.
03
When is the COT Report Weekly Summary updated?
+−
The Weekly Summary refreshes every Friday at 3:30 PM Eastern Time when the CFTC releases new data. Positions are as of the previous Tuesday's close. When a US federal holiday falls on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of that week, the release moves to the next business day, usually the following Monday — a Monday holiday such as Labor Day does not delay it.
04
Why is the Commercial column often opposite to Non-Commercial?
+−
Commercials are hedgers — they take futures positions to offset price risk in their underlying business. Speculators (Non-Commercials) provide the liquidity for those hedges, so the two categories are often net opposite. When Non-Commercials are net long, Commercials are usually net short, and vice versa.
05
Can I export the Weekly Summary?
+−
The Weekly Summary page has no CSV export; Premium subscribers export CSV from the Simplified and Detailed report tables. Anonymous and free-account users can take a screenshot using the camera icon in the toolbar — fully styled and watermarked for sharing on Twitter, Telegram or research notes.
