Glossary

ONELIX glossary — plain language and the source

One dictionary for both sides of the site: the LIX score and its risk indicators on one side, CFTC COT positioning on the other. Each entry gives a plain version, then the reference definition — CFTC, a market concept, or the ONELIX method, always marked as such.

This is not an FAQ. For questions such as “does the COT predict crashes?”, see the COT FAQ. For the full method, the methodology guide.

Positioning terms describe who is committed in a market. The LIX describes which regime the market is in. The two readings meet on a single page.
