GER40 trades on Eurex; the CFTC publishes nothing for it. Yen futures are quoted as JPY per USD, so the sides are inverted to read as USDJPY. Classic reading: speculators at a 3-year extreme = a crowded position exposed to a reversal; weekly observation, never a signal.
Prep only. Every number traces to a stored input. The desk never trades.
