Where: Markets → COT → Radar

Scan a sector

  1. Open COT and pick a sector tab.
  2. Click Radar.
  3. Read the table from the top: the first rows are closest to an extreme.
  4. Click a row to open that instrument in Single.

The ranking uses the 3-year percentile: where this week's net position sits against the last three years, from 0 to 100. Near 0 or 100 is an extreme. Near 50 is normal.

Each row follows one group: Non-Commercial in Legacy, Leveraged Funds in Disaggregated and TFF.

FAQ

Does an extreme mean the price will turn?

No. It only says positioning is unusual. Past behavior is not a forecast.

Why is the Radar empty?

That sector has no instruments with data yet. Try another sector.
