CoT MK Speculators Percentile
This indicator visualizes the weekly positioning of Non-Commercial traders (Speculators) from the CFTC’s Legacy CoT report, plotting their Long, Short, and Net positions alongside user-defined percentile bands.
• Data Source: Weekly Non-Commercial Long and Short positions via the TradingView CoT Library.
• Percentile Bands: Calculates the chosen upper and lower percentiles (default 80% and 20%) of each series over a configurable lookback period (default 208 weeks).
• Negative Shorts: Optionally inverts Short values so that larger Short exposure appears deeper below zero, improving symmetry with Long data.
• Usage:
• Speculators Long/Short/Net: Show raw or inverted position curves.
• Upper Percentile (red): Marks extreme Speculator exposure (bearish contrarian zone).
• Lower Percentile (green): Identifies low Speculator engagement (bullish contrarian zone).

Traders use these percentile bands as contrarian signals: extreme Speculator positioning often precedes market reversals.
