Signals

COT positioning for EUA

COT shows who is crowded. It does not size your obligation.

Updated 2026-08-05 · Model output for professionals · Not investment advice

What desks extract

Direction and extremity of speculative length vs commercial hedging. Extreme speculative overcrowding into soft Day+1 is a different setup than light specs into rising power burn.

Limits

Reporting lags, classification noise, and missing players. Use COT as one signal next to auctions and regime, not as a standalone system.

FAQ

Does long speculative COT mean sell EUA?
Not as a rule. Crowding raises squeeze and fade risk. Fundamentals can still dominate. Model output, not advice.
