FINBORS / POSITIONING BY INSTRUMENT

Market sentiment.

One instrument, verified samples side by side. Compare broker clients with professional futures-market participants.

Long — buyShort — sell

Participant or contract shares are not price probabilities. Different sources are not combined into one percentage.

90 instrumentsMajor currency pairs, metals, indices and crypto pairs appear first.

CFTC group

How to compare sources and groups

Each card contains separate samples for one instrument. InstaForex shows its clients, AMarkets shows buyer and seller proportions among traders as defined by its widget, and CFTC reports weekly positions in a specific exchange futures contract. Samples are not added or averaged. AMarkets uses the Real sample and buyer/seller proportions, not trading-volume shares; the source does not disclose the trader count or its exact counting rules.

Leveraged Funds are mainly hedge funds and managed futures strategies. Asset Managers are institutional managers, including pension and investment funds. Commodities use a different CFTC classification: Managed Money; the group selector does not change those rows.

CFTC: long / (long + short), excluding spreading positions. This is the contract share of the selected group, not all market buyers. Positions may hedge other assets. Futures are a reference for the underlying asset, not a spot-market sample. COT normally publishes on Friday with Tuesday positions.

Our source-response check times are in Sources and coverage. CFTC position dates appear in the cards. Major instruments first is navigation order, not a measured volume ranking.
