Reading notes
- Index, currency, rate and Bitcoin lines come from the CFTC Traders in Financial Futures (TFF) report (Asset Managers, Leveraged Funds).
- Gold and Crude Oil come from the Disaggregated report. There is no Asset Manager category for physical commodities, so Swap Dealers is shown as the institutional proxy and Managed Money is the speculative side.
- A net long figure on its own is not a signal. Look at the change versus the prior week, the trend over several weeks, and the size relative to open interest before drawing any conclusion.
