Hi & welcome

Your question is far too detailed for a simple answer in this forum. I suggest you google "CFTC COT explained" - there are loads of articles on the net that will answer your question perfectly.

Cheers

The COT report provides the data broken down to 4 different types of traders:

Dealer/Intermediary - typically "sell-side" and include large banks (both US and non US) and dealers in swaps, securities and other derivatives.
Asset Manager/Institutional - typically "buy-side" and include pension funds, insurance companies etc'.
Leveraged Funds - typically "buy-side" and include hedge funds and money managers such as CTAs (registered commodity trading advisors) and CPOs (registered commodity pool operators) or unregistered funds as identified by the CFTC.
Other Reportables - typically "buy-side" and include reportable traders that that do not fit into none of the first three categories.
