BYD keeps growing its sales, and strong exports are a big reason.

By Alan Solarsh · 5 November 2026

BYD keeps growing its sales, and strong exports are a big reason. A headline like that does not show what large traders are actually doing.

Read the headline, then check how large traders are positioned in related markets. Positioning data shows whether big players already lean one way. Use it to question your idea before you place a trade.

Pros: It adds real context to a headline before you act. It can keep you from chasing a story that everyone already knows.

Cons: Positioning data does not predict where price will go. It also comes out weekly, so it can lag behind fast news.

I use the COT Data tool to see how big traders hold the Australian dollar.
