COT Data · Official CFTC reports · Simplified
Know which side the big money is sitting on.
Before you take the trade.
The Commitments of Traders report tells you exactly where institutional positioning sits on every major currency. Orion COT distils the official CFTC data into a clean percentage on your TradingView chart - so you stop guessing the bias and start confirming it.
What is COT
The data hedge funds and banks have used for decades. Now in plain English on your chart.
The Commitments of Traders (COT) report is published weekly by the CFTC. It shows the aggregated positions of the largest commercial and non-commercial traders in every major futures market - Forex, indices, commodities. It is, quite literally, where the real money is positioned.
The problem: the raw report is a wall of numbers. Most retail traders never look at it. The ones that do spend half an hour parsing it before they can trade.
Orion COT does the parsing. The output is one number per currency, on your chart, showing what percentage of the institutional positioning is bullish vs bearish. If GBP is sitting at 78% long, you know which way the giants are leaning before you even draw a level.
Why this is the cheapest edge you'll add this year.
Bias confirmation in one glance
No more 'I think the dollar is bullish but I'm not sure why.' One number. Above 60%, the institutional positioning is meaningfully one-sided. You either trade with it or know exactly when you're fading the consensus.
The macro filter your strategy was missing
Strategies that work great on a bullish currency fail on a bearish one, and vice versa. COT bias tells you, at a macro level, whether the wind is at your back this week. Filter accordingly.
Designed for traders, not analysts
We didn't add Open Interest, net change, change-of-change, commercial-vs-spec. The official report does all that. The on-chart display gives you one usable number. Less is more.
Pairs with literally any system.
COT is a context layer, not a signal. It tells you which side the wind is blowing - your entry model still does the work.
Before drawing a single level on the daily or weekly chart, check the COT. 70%+ long? You're hunting longs. 70%+ short? You're hunting shorts. 45–55? Wait for clarity or trade reversion only.
Your weekly POI says short. COT says 80% long. That's not a confluence trade - that's a setup that needs more confirmation. Conversely, weekly POI agrees with COT? Now you're trading with the desks, not against them.
You don't know whether the pound is structurally weak or strong this month? Look at the COT bar. The work is already done. Use it as a training wheel until you can read the bias yourself from price.
You already see the bias. COT becomes the sanity-check before you size up. If your read and the institutional positioning agree, that's when you take a 2R risk instead of 1R.
Stop trading blind to where the desks are positioned.
