What Is The COT?
Small Specs., Large Specs., & Commercial Entities
Small Speculators:
Small Speculators are considered to be the
individual investors, generally traders like
you, and me, or what is known as the “retail
trader.” Investors who trade their own
money, for their own profit and gain.
•
Small Speculators within in the Track ‘n
Trade COT Plug-in are indicated below the
chart in the default color of green.
•
In this chart example, you can see the
number of small speculators who are both
long and short are represented directly
below the actual price chart.
•
In this particular view, you can see how
many traders are long, (bright green above
the zero line.) against how many are trading
short, (darker green below the zero line.)
Large Speculators:
Large Speculators are generally banks and
hedge fund managers, and are generally
doing this type of investing using other
peoples money, but the nice thing is, that
their goal is exactly as is ours, to profit from
large moves in the market.
•
Large Speculators within in the Track ‘n
Trade COT Plug-in are indicated below the
chart in the default color of blue.
•
In this chart example, you can see the
number of large speculators who are both
long and short are represented directly
below the actual price chart.
•
In this particular view, you can see how
many large specs are long, (bright blue
above the zero line.) against those trading
short, (dark blue below the zero line.)
Large Commercial Traders
Large Commercial Traders are generally
producers such as farmers, or large
factories. The confusing part about the large
speculators, is that we don’t really know
their full intention., why they are long, or
why they are short. They generally have
different motives that do we speculators.
•
Notice that there are actually more
short positions during this obvious up-trend
than their are long positions.
•
The Commercials within in the Track ‘n
Trade COT Plug-in are indicated below the
chart in the default color of red.
•
In this particular view, you can see how
many large specs are long, (bright red above
the zero line.) against those trading short,
(dark red below the zero line.)
How Can The COT Help Me Trade?
Using The COT As A Guide, Can Significantly Increase Accuracy!
The Federal Government keeps tabs on all of us who trade... SURPRISE!! Using this information in our
trading can be a significant advantage. Take a look at the charts and comments below, to get a taste of some
of the great information we can derive from the COT, government report.
Can you see the Buy and the Sell arrows/signals being generated on the chart above? Those are actually
coming from a formula derived from the Commitment of Traders.
After I had our programmers add this COT buy/sell signal generating formula into Track 'n Trade, I
was absolutely blown away! I was amazed at the accuracy of this formula.
Now remember, the COT does not take into account the actual price of the market whatsoever. All we
are doing is telling you when the momentum of the largest players are changing direction in
their buying and selling power.
We are, in essence, showing you the hand of the other players with these buy/sell arrows. We are simply just
pointing out when the momentum of the market is changing from Bullish To Bearish, and when the big boys are
changing from buying contracts to selling contracts or vice-versa: not in price, but in time.
So, do you think this little gem could come in handy? The commitment of traders requires an additional data
feed to keep it current, so we update it as soon as the report is posted by the Feds each Friday. The data is
downloaded directly into Track 'n Trade along with your daily market data--quick and easy!
Okay, now here's some more of the good stuff...
Have you ever been worried about being caught in a limit move? I know I have. Just looking back through
history, I've noticed these classic examples of where the large specs and the large commercials were jumping
ship just before a large limit move crash. How do they know? Amazing isn't it. The JBCOT pointed it out to us,
giving us plenty of time to react.
Here's another classic example.
Here's one more for the road...
Example: Using The COT to generate Buy/Bullish & Sell/Bearish signals significantly helps establish market direction.
Example: COT Buy/Sell signals don’t take market price into account what-so-ever, it’s totally based on momentum.
Example: I can show you example after example of where the COT warned of impending doom! (Or huge profits!)
Example: If there was a tool available that gave this type of indication, why wouldn’t you want it?
Example: We had this technology for several years before we finally added it to Track ‘n Trade..I’m glad we did!
