Hedge Fund Intelligence

Net positioning extremes (percentile rank over the lookback window)

Changed on

Hedge fund / speculator net positioning extremes across 200+ active futures contracts. Returns the top limit markets ranked by how far the current net position's percentile rank within the lookback window (lookback_weeks, 52 to 520 weeks, default 260 = 5 years) deviates from the median (50). percentile_rank is 0-100 (50 = median), never a 0-1 fraction. Use to find the markets whose net position ranks near either end of its own lookback history. Picks the relevant trader category per report type: legacy=non-commercial, disaggregated=managed money, tff=leveraged funds, cit=commodity index traders. Defaults to TFF (financial futures, hedge fund leveraged-funds line). Cache TTL 24h - heavy single-query batch over the whole lookback window of weekly data.
