- Net Long Interest in S&P 500 Futures – This is the most liquid equity entity in the world. You can see this at http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/cftc-tff/main.html (Commitment of Traders(COT) in Equity Futures Report). The cool part of this is being able to see the interest by broker, asset manager, leveraged money and Others. As is obvious, high net long signifies bullishness.
