Uncover Major Shifts in Financial Markets!
The CoT Report provides inside information about purchases and sales of futures contracts. The largest players in each market are required to disclose their positions to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) . The resulting CoT Report shows the net positions of traders, which are separated into three groups:
- Commercial Hedgers (“Dumb Money”)
- Small Traders (“Dumb Money”)
- Large Speculators (“Smart Money”)
It is common knowledge that Large Speculators (“Smart Money”) are holding a significant informational edge over other traders as far as fundamental supply and demand statistics are concerned. This is a fact that has also been confirmed by empirical literature (Investor Sentiment and Return Predictability in Agricultural Futures Markets”, Journal of Futures Markets, 2001). “Smart Money” is always trend-leading, whereas “Dumb Money” is trend-lagging.
By measuring the investment behavior of “Smart & Dumb Money” our CoT indicators will help our subscribers to identify major high reward market regimes and major shifts before typical price indicators do.

The CoT Index: The Ultimate Smart Money Indicator In Futures Markets
This infographic is a visual guide to using the Commitment of Traders report to track the positioning of smart money within futures markets. It explains the WSC COT Index, a percentage value that indicates the relative positioning of smart money over the last three years. A value of 100% means that smart money has its highest position within the last three years, while 0% means it has its lowest position within the same period. Values above 70% are considered positive, while values below 30% are negative.
