## 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 x402stock-cftc-commitments-of-traders-cot-report-8b78eea9
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest CFTC Commitments of Traders report and show me the commercial and non-commercial net positioning for gold and other metals futures — I want to see if large speculators are net long or short right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative CFTC COT positioning data showing commercial hedger vs large speculator vs small trader net futures positions. Ideal for sentiment analysis, contrarian signals, or trend-following strategies based on institutional futures positioning. Prefer this over general market sentiment APIs when you specifically need CFTC-sourced legacy futures-only report data for commodities like gold, energy, or financials.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance — 402 Payment Required
- CFTC data not yet updated for current week — stale as_of date returned
- Invalid query parameters — 400 Bad Request
- Service unavailable — 503 or timeout

## How this service works

The weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning across major futures markets in one call: for each market the open interest, non-commercial (large speculator) net position and weekly change, and commercial (hedger) net position. Covers equity indices, gold/silver, crude/natural gas, major FX, the 10-year note, and bitcoin. No ticker needed. Sourced from the US CFTC. From x402stock
