Number of Traders

Trader数(参加主体の数) Data & Reporting ✓ Verified Citations Market Practitioner Term
<Definition> In the weekly Commitments of Traders (COT) report published by the CFTC, this refers to the field showing how many entities (traders) holding large positions above the reporting threshold exist within each category. Its distinguishing feature is that it discloses the "count" of participating entities independently of position "volume" (CFTC, Explanatory Notes).
