Dear Traders,<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Quick Review of Valuable\u00a0 Reports Made Available by the C.F.T.C. for All Traders<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

By John Thorpe, Cannon Trading Senior Broker<\/em><\/p>\n

A data source that escapes many futures traders and should be reviewed if you are a serious position trader are the reports compiled on a weekly basis by our chief regulator, The Commodity Futures Trading Commission CFTC. These reports offer insight into market imbalances, liquidity, and large bank, both domestic and international, participation. I encourage all traders, even day traders, to familiarize yourself with these reports as they provide a salient view of market structure given a particular futures contract as the structure changes over time.<\/p>\n

There is:<\/p>\n

1.) BPR’s “Bank Participation Rate” reports which, by open interest you can view market imbalances.\u00a0Bank Participation Rate Webpage<\/p>\n

Another report compiled by the CFTC is the:<\/p>\n

2.) Net position changes. The Large Trader Net Position Changes and the Trading Account Net Position Changes data provides the public with a view of the amount\u00a0of trading that results in net changes to positions at the trader level and at the account level.\u00a0Net Position Changes Webpage<\/p>\n

Good Trading!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.\u00a0 You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time.<\/p>\n
