## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call composite view of the cotton market that combines futures pricing, CFTC speculative positioning, and trend data, rather than making separate calls to futures-only or historical endpoints. Ideal for dashboard summaries, automated trading signal pipelines, or commodity research agents that need a holistic cotton market snapshot without stitching multiple data sources together.
