Futures Only vs Options Combined COT Reports
Learn why COT report scopes should not be mixed and which TFF scope Squawkdeck uses.
Selected scope
Squawkdeck uses TFF Futures Only for financial futures and Disaggregated Futures Only for commodities. Every chart and table labels its family and scope.
Why scopes must stay separate
Options Combined reports convert options exposure into futures equivalents before combining it with futures. Mixing those values with Futures Only creates false changes and invalid comparisons.
