    Below you see the trends of the contracts. Blue, red, green.
    This is derived from COT report data:
    http://www.cftc.gov/dea/futures/other_sf.htm
    And I'm trying to find out exactly how.
    This is the last report, where the last finviz data should come from:
    10/04/2012
    Producer/Merchant/Processor/User Long 14982 Short 54240
    Swap Dealer Long 22528 Short 9656
    Large Traders Long 20771 Short 7129
    Small Traders Long 7383 Short 2839

    Amount contracts, visually estimated on above finviz url:
    - large traders (red): 19000
    - small traders (blue): 10000
    - commercial hedgers (green): 25000

    How exactly did finviz come to these numbers?
