THIS WEEK IN FUTURES — 08 September 2026
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
What this is
Every week, large traders must report what they hold — to the CFTC, FINRA, and the options clearinghouse. We collect those official filings, rank today’s positioning against three years of history, and publish the result in plain English. Not tips. Not predictions. A map of where the crowd stands.
How it helps you
Before you enter a trade, it pays to know whether your idea is the consensus or the lonely side. Crowded trades unwind violently when the story breaks; uncrowded ones have fuel left. Positioning tells you which kind of trade you are stepping into — context every trader should have before risking capital.
Why this exists
Price charts show what happened; positioning shows who is committed to it happening again. The data is public and free — but scattered across clunky government formats that almost nobody reads. We do the cleaning, ranking, and interpreting, every week, without fail.
First time here? Spend five minutes on the methodology first — it explains every number and color on this site, from a beginner’s first read to what the pros watch. After that, the weekly report takes ninety seconds.

Positioning data describes what large traders held as of the report date, published with a lag. It is a crowding and context gauge, not a trade recommendation. Nothing here is investment advice. Source: CFTC (public domain).
