Questions
How often does this page update?
The COT part changes once a week, after the CFTC releases the report on Friday. The CME part changes every trading day, when CME publishes the daily volume and open interest.
Why does XAUUSD use COMEX gold futures data?
XAUUSD is a broker CFD with no positioning report of its own. COMEX gold futures follow the same price, and their positions are reported to the CFTC and CME.
Is this a signal to trade gold?
No. It shows who holds what and how open interest changed. Use it as background next to your own analysis and risk plan.
What is the 5-day bias?
ICC Terminal scores each of the last five CME sessions from price and open interest and turns the average into a flow index. It is part of VIP.
