What Is The CoT Report?
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission uses the following description and definitions:
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) summarizes weekly, and releases biweekly, data on the open interest for markets in which five or more traders hold positions equal to or above the reporting levels established by the Commission. The tables show open interest separately by reportable and non-reportable positions. For reportable positions, additional data are provided on commercial and noncommercial holdings, spreading and numbers of traders.
Open Interest -A futures contract is said to be ``open'' when it has been entered into and not yet liquidated by an offsetting transaction or fulfilled by delivery. Contracts that are open are referred to as ``Open Interest.'' The aggregate of all long open interest is equal to the aggregate of all short open interest.
Open interest as reported to the Commission and as used in the COT Report does not include open futures contracts against which notices of deliveries have been stopped by a trader or issued by the clearing organization of an exchange. Open interest held or controlled by a trader is referred to as that trader's futures position.
Reportable Positions - Clearing members, futures commission merchants (FCMs), and foreign brokers are required to make daily reports to the Commission showing each trader's positions on their books that, in any future month of a commodity, exceed the reporting level. Open interest figures show the aggregate positions reported by all clearing members, FCMs, and foreign brokers. Positions of individual traders are classified either as ``commercial'' or ``noncommercial.'' All of a trader's reported futures positions in a commodity are classified as commercial if the trader uses futures contracts traded in the particular commodity for hedging as defined in the Commission's regulations.
Non-reportable Positions - Traders' positions that are below the reporting level are classified as ``non-reportable.'' The aggregate long and short open interest shown as non-reportable positions are derived by subtracting reported positions from the total open interest. Accordingly, for non- reportable positions, the number of traders involved and the commercial/noncommercial classification of each trader are unknown.
Spreading - In ``All'' futures, spreading includes each trader's reported long and short positions in the same market to the extent they are balanced. These figures do not include intermarket spreading.
We use the following definitions and descriptions:
Commercial (we use the term hedgers/commercials) - An account that exceeds the reporting levels and deals in the cash market.
Non-commercial (we use the term large speculator/trader) - An account that exceeds the reporting levels and does not deal in the cash market.
How are commercial and non-commercial accounts determined? Futures accounts have two different margin requirements – one for commercials (hedgers) and one for non-commercials (large speculators). Whichever margin requirement an account trades under determines whether these positions are held by hedgers or large speculators.
Net positions of commercials and non-commercials - Open interest held by commercials and non-commercials is reported in gross. By this we mean the total number of longs and short are reported separately for each category. In our analysis we subtract longs from shorts to derive a net position.
Which Point Of View – Large Speculators or Hedgers?
The analysis presented in our Commitment of Traders biweekly reports points out those commodities where net open interest of either large speculators or hedgers have reached or are approaching extreme historical readings for that particular commodity.
Financial futures
The ability to trade in the underlying cash markets easily adds to the attractiveness of financial futures. This allows for many different account types to become hedgers – dealers, mutual funds, large hedge funds, pension funds, etc. This diversity makes the hedger category in financial futures difficult to analyze on a consistent basis.
The large speculator category, on the other hand, usually has only one type of trader – someone who can trade size (i.e., holds at least 500 bond contracts) and does not deal in the cash market. This is typically a large floor trader, managed futures accounts or a small hedge fund. In general these types of traders are technically oriented trend-followers. Since the large speculator category is more consistent and trend-followers usually over-do-it at extremes, we are most interested in how these traders are positioned. We want to "fade" the large speculators.
Commodities
When discussing "regular" commodities, we typically do so from the hedgers point of view. In "regular" commodities, the hedgers are more important since access to the cash market gives them a competitive advantage (who do you call to trade live hogs in the cash market?). In this case, the argument is made that the hedgers have superior information. They operate from the "smart money" point of view. Therefore, we want to be on the same side as the hedgers.
Summary
If the commodity is financial in nature and the net position of the large speculators is at an extreme, we would expect the market to move in the opposite direction as that reflected by the net position of the large speculators. For instance, if the large speculators are net long, the net position is at an extreme and prices have been moving up, we would expect the price of the commodity to correct down.
If the commodity is physical in nature and the net position of the hedgers is at an extreme, we would expect the market to continue moving in the same direction as that reflected by the net position of the hedgers. For instance, if hedgers are net short, the net position is at an extreme and prices have been moving down, we would expect the price of the commodity to continue down.
