Absolutely, you are right, there is COT data on NZ. Unfortunately the service I use does not show it. I will send them a letter to ask, whether they are planning to introduce it in the near future... would be nice to have it!

Hi medici, Thank you for sharing your view! You are right about fx market, no question to that, OTC is a much greater market in fx. On the other hand, if you look at that Commitments of Traders report on currencies you will find that COT analysis ...

Hi Viv108, (sorry for my late reply, was enjoying the weekend ) I believe you are correct in the assumption that Commercials are not trading in the same fashion as Large Speculators, but I don’t think it necessarily means that they are not as ...

Yeap, I also think that this service is great! I like those situations when the picture is extreme from all angles, and there are close stop levels that give me a good risk/reward trade. Obviously I diversify my portfolio amongst more markets and I ...

I use the one year chart to look at the larger COT changes, but for Extremes I like the longer 5 year charts. Unfortunately you can't view longer charts yet, but I've contacted them about this and received the reply that they are working on it... I ...

Cocoa was also mentioned in the review, cause the change size in Commercials position was larger than average. It was 28% to be exact. Now this market could be a good example, how to react to a market, where we haven’t got an extreme COT picture. It ...

Thanks Manekineko for you post, excellent chart you have there!!! Exactly what I’m looking at also in a different way! In the latest report (30th this year) you could find a pretty extreme situation in the COT report: Commercials are at a 434 report ...
