How this service works
Use for the futures positioning behind one market ($0.005): CFTC Commitments of Traders weekly history for gold, WTI, S&P 500, Nasdaq, Treasuries, EUR, JPY, bitcoin, ether and more (aliases GOLD, SPY, BTC, EURUSD work): speculators, hedgers and small traders net, 1w/4w change, COT index 0-100 and CROWDED_LONG/SHORT.
Output
Returns a JSON object with: speculator, hedger, and small-trader net positions; 1-week and 4-week net position changes; a COT index value from 0 to 100 indicating historical extremes; and a CROWDED_LONG or CROWDED_SHORT signal where applicable, all for the requested futures market.
Example use cases
Contrarian trade signal from crowded positioning
“Check the COT positioning for the S&P 500 — are large speculators at an extreme long or short, and what's the COT index reading? I want to know if the market is crowded.”
Bitcoin sentiment from futures positioning
“Pull the latest CFTC Commitments of Traders data for bitcoin futures — I need speculator net positions, the 1-week and 4-week change, and whether we're seeing a crowded long or short signal.”
EUR/USD macro positioning check
“What does the COT data look like for EUR/USD? Specifically the speculator net position versus hedgers, and how it's shifted over the past 4 weeks.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.marketintelligenceapi.com/api/v1/cot/gold?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need institutional-grade futures positioning sentiment — specifically CFTC COT data with speculator/hedger breakdowns, historical COT index, and crowded trade signals — for macro assets including commodities (gold, WTI), equity indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq), rates (Treasuries), FX (EUR, JPY), and crypto (BTC, ETH). Prefer this over generic price or sentiment APIs when the goal is understanding positioning extremes and contrarian signals.
