The problem
- A breakout into crowded longs is not the same trade as one into crowded shorts.
- Cross-referencing weekly CFTC reports against your trades takes hours, one answer at a time.
- COT data as a separate chart is information — not an edge.
How Orbit fixes it
- Net positioning by trader category, back to 2008. Plus a 0–100 COT Index.
- Pick a category and a band. The whole tool refilters to those weeks only.
- Equity curve, edge finder, distributions — all rebuild around the positioning regime.

The COT Index on Nasdaq futures, by trader category, weekly since 2008. Each line is normalised 0-100 against the prior three years, so a reading near 100 means that category is at its most-long in three years; near 0, its most-short. Click any greyed category to add it.
