I've been looking at this, but i've never traded from it. If anyone has some experience, i'd appreciate hearing from you.
I'm looking at the column that indicates the changes in commitments from the previous week. I'm just curious to see how currency pairs match up with the futures and options positioning.
You can look at the commitments of commercial and non-commercial traders and also the net change for both trader classifications
I'm going to concentrate on the "non-commercials" becasue these are the "speculative" traders as opposed to the "commercial" traders who are classified as commercial because they are using contracts a "hedge". I'll ignore the "totals" for now.
For the CAD there was a large amount of shorts that came out of the market
(-1,653) and an even larger amount of longs that came in (17,279)
For the CHF there was an almost equal number of shorts and longs coming in.
For the GBP there was a large number of longs coming out of the market (-9,395) while 1,798 shorts came in.
For the Yen -4,670 longs came out of the market while 11,136 shorts came in.
If you use the COT at all, i'd appreciate your input.
