COT Index Indicator

1) One‑liner
My version of the OTC COT Index indicator: a 0–120 oscillator built from CFTC COT data that shows where Commercial, Noncommercial, and Nonreportable net positions sit relative to recent extremes.

2) Short paragraph
This is my version of the OTC COT Index indicator. It converts CFTC Commitments of Traders (COT) net positions into a normalized 0–120 oscillator for each trader group—Commercials, Noncommercials, and Nonreportables—so you can quickly see when positioning is near recent highs or lows. Data comes from TradingView’s official COT library and supports both “Futures Only” and “Futures and Options” reports.

Notes

Some symbols map to specific CFTC codes for reliability.
If no relevant COT data exists for the symbol, the script reports it clearly.
If you want this adapted to a specific platform’s character limits (e.g., TradingView’s publish dialog), tell me the target length and I’ll trim it to fit.
