Beginning in 2007, large traders in the ES contract deviated from their usual trend of holding net long positions during declining markets and holding net short during rising markets and instead began establishing positions in line with the current trend. This is an interesting development to monitor given that other methods involving stock index COT data no longer perform and because it’s contrary to the typical behavior of the ‘large trader’ category.
