The net traders positions show
you what the traders in the market are doing.
The information is compiled and
released by the CFTC every two weeks on Friday
afternoon.
Commercials are the large
businesses which are offsetting their risk in the
underlying commodity.
Large specks are large scale
traders, like fund managers.
Small specks are the individual,
small scale traders.
Generally, the most watched
position is the large specks. They are the trend
followers. If the line is moving up during a trend, they
are building their positions.
The commercial market can also
be important to watch, but takes considerable study. The
commercials use the market differently than the
speculators do.
