Open the tab COT (in the app: Markets → COT) and keep Weekly selected. Every row is one market.

app.iccterminal.trade

app.iccterminal.trade

Reading it step by step

1. Look at the Weekly Bias first to find markets with a clear direction.
2. Check the COT Index: above 70% the funds are building longs, below 30% they are building shorts. Very close to 100% or 0% can also mean the move is crowded.
3. Confirm with Weekly OI Change: bias plus rising open interest = strong conviction; falling OI = positions are being closed.
4. Click a row to open the Weekly COT chart of that market and see whether smart money is still adding or starting to turn.

Tap Monthly above the COT table. Each month uses its last weekly report, which removes weekly noise and shows the longer trend.

app.iccterminal.trade

• COT Index here measures the smart-money net position inside its 12-month range.
• Monthly Bias: STRONG BUY at 70% or higher, STRONG SELL at 30% or lower, otherwise NEUTRAL.
• Smart Money Change and Monthly OI changes are compared with the previous month-end.

The tab CME Flow (in the app: Markets → CME) shows every trading session from CME Group. Pick the session with Select Trading Session, the view (Daily Session or 5-Day Bias) and a sector filter.

app.iccterminal.trade

app.iccterminal.trade

Each signal card shows

• Symbol and the active contract month, plus the contract code and expiry date, e.g. GCZ26 · expires 29 Dec 2026 (93d). The line turns gold when the contract is close to expiry and a roll to the next month is coming.
• SETTLE — the official settlement price and its change from the previous session.
• At Close — open interest at the close; ΔOI — its change; Vol — the volume traded.
• Prelim — CME’s preliminary figures; they are replaced by the final numbers at the next update.

What the signal means — price and open interest together

Below the cards, the Session Flow Table lists all markets. Click a row (in the app: tap a card) to see Market chart & contract: the settlement history coloured by signal, open interest over time and the contract details.

Choose 5-Day Bias in the CME tab. The last five sessions of each market are combined into one number, so one noisy day does not fool you.

app.iccterminal.trade

• Each session scores: New Buying +1, Short Covering +½, Long Liquidation −½, New Shorting −1.
• Flow Index = the average score on a 0–100% scale (100% = five days of new buying, 0% = five days of new shorting).
• Bias: 75% or more STRONG BUY, 60% or more BUY, 25% or less STRONG SELL, 40% or less SELL, otherwise NEUTRAL.
• Bull / bear days, Net Price Chg, Net OI Chg and Net Flow show what happened over the whole window.

The tab OI + Price Action (in the app: Markets → OI + Price) puts candles and open interest on one chart, so you can see who is behind every move. Choose a market and the Daily or Weekly view.

app.iccterminal.trade

• Daily bias adds up the last 5 sessions (CME daily open interest); weekly bias adds up the last 4 CFTC reports.
• 60% or more of the maximum score = Strong Bullish, 30% or more = Bullish; the same on the negative side for Bearish / Strong Bearish.
• The summary line tells you whether daily and weekly flow agree (strongest) or the daily flow is against the weekly trend (be careful).

The Currency Strength Matrix ranks the 8 major currencies — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CHF, CAD, AUD, NZD — from strongest (top) to weakest (bottom), on a 0–100 scale.

app.iccterminal.trade

• Daily Institutional Strength (CME Flow) — from the latest CME session: the price change of each currency future weighted by its volume. Shows where money moved today.
• Weekly Macro Strength (CFTC Smart Money) — from each currency’s COT Index. Shows the bigger trend of the funds. USD is the average of the opposite side of all pairs.

How to use it

1. Find a strong currency (top) and a weak currency (bottom).
2. Trade the pair that combines them: strong EUR + weak JPY → look for buys on EURJPY; weak GBP + strong USD → look for sells on GBPUSD.
3. Prefer pairs where the daily and weekly columns show the same picture.

Pick a market in Trajectory. The chart shows the full COT history:

app.iccterminal.trade

• Hedge Funds (green) — the net position of large speculators.
• Commercials (red) — the net position of hedgers; usually the mirror image.
• Open Interest (gold dotted line, right axis) — how much money is in the market.

• Hedge funds rising together with open interest = a healthy trend with new money.
• Hedge funds at an extreme far from their usual range while open interest falls = the trend is getting tired.
• The lines crossing or turning after a long move often mark the start of a new phase.

The TradingView tab gives you a free TradingView chart for every market with daily candles, indicators and drawing tools. Use it to mark support and resistance and to plan entries in the direction that the COT and CME flow show you.

app.iccterminal.trade

A top-down routine many ICC Terminal users follow:

1. Direction: check the monthly and weekly COT bias. Keep markets where both agree.
2. Selection: for forex, use the CSM to pair a strong currency with a weak one.
3. Confirmation: the 5-Day Bias and today’s CME signal should point the same way (New Buying for longs, New Shorting for shorts).
4. Flow check: in OI + Price Action, the daily and weekly flow should agree.
5. Timing: plan the entry, stop loss and target on the TradingView chart.
6. Risk: risk only a small part of your balance per trade and respect the contract roll dates.
