How to read these cards
A snapshot of who is positioned which way in this market right now.
- COT index (3y)
- Where this group's net position sits inside its own past 3 years, on a 0–100 scale. Above 80 is about as long as they ever get; below 20 is about as short. A ★ next to a reading means that market has less than 3 years of stored history, so it is normalized over the weeks available.
- Disagreement index (3y)
- How far apart the two named trader groups are, also 0–100. Readings near 0 or 100 mean the two sides disagree more sharply than usual.
- Signal chip
- Divergence means price and positioning disagree (a warning). Convergence means they agree (a healthy trend). No signal means nothing stands out.
