## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability macropulse-cftc-commitment-of-traders-cot-positioning-7ef1a074
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest CFTC Commitment-of-Traders positioning data for all major FX pairs and commodities — I want to see where institutions are net long or short, how positions shifted this week, and whether any markets are showing crowding or contrarian signals.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need CFTC-sourced institutional positioning data across FX and key commodities in a single call, particularly when building macro or FX trading agents that require crowding analysis and contrarian signals rather than price data alone.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment is not attached or insufficient
- Data latency if CFTC has not yet published the latest weekly release
- Empty or partial response if a specific market's data is unavailable
- Network timeout on the upstream data provider

## How this service works

CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning, parsed from the official dataset. No LLM. Answers "are hedge funds long S&P futures", "speculator positioning EUR/USD", "managed money net corn". 21 markets in 4 groups: fx (7 CME pairs), commodities (gold, WTI), grains (corn, wheat, soy complex, natgas managed-money), financials (equity index + Treasury leveraged-fund TFF). Net positions, week-over-week deltas, computed bias per market.

## Output

Returns institutional net positioning figures and weekly shifts for 7 major FX pairs (e.g. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) plus gold and WTI crude oil, along with derived crowding indicators and contrarian signals highlighting extreme or reversing positioning.
