Institutional COT.
Forex Client Sentiment
Real non-commercial (speculator) positioning from the CFTC Commitments of Traders report — the weekly gold standard for institutional FX futures data. Published every Friday at 15:30 ET covering the preceding Tuesday.
More longs than shorts among large speculators. When longs exceed 75%, the trade is crowded — smart money often fades extremes.
More shorts than longs. Extreme short positioning (>75%) can signal exhaustion — short squeezes become more likely.
Near-equal positioning with no strong directional lean. Wait for a catalyst to tip the balance before taking a directional view.
COT data is best used as a contrarian indicator at extremes, not as a trend-following signal. Always combine with technicals and macro context.
We source this directly from the CFTC public COT feed. It refreshes automatically — check back in 30–60 minutes. We never show estimated or synthetic data as a substitute.
