Seasonal's in Play , and some interesting Non Spreading Open interest data. Anticipating a correction but not too confident about how far or the H.T.F COT extremes. Looks like there is still room to move to the upside. I have a Short position at the High but I'm a little concerned about Commercial Longs ( users ) , still very active along with Large spec Longs. I would normally like to see these guys apposed to each other. Is that how you guys read it ?

Gasoline Commercial Fail -: My take on how the Commercials react when things are going against them. Sept 2019 Commercials were buying the low at an extreme as you would expect. They then start to sell the rally until Jan 2000 when we have a reversal. They continue to sell as they have deep pockets. But when price gets to their previous Buying price , they defend it with extreme buying. Steve Briese mentions this in his Bible about how the Commercials are extremely sensitive to price. I think this is an example of that. Confluence with some oversold Weekly readings and the Seasonal influence , I think we can see higher prices to come.

Cotton -: Looking at the 1yr look-back period you would reasonably expect a correction at the Commercial net extreme. It looks like we have had that. But I feel any shorts now are playing with fire. When on the 5yr look-back we see plenty of scope for the Comms to continue Selling any rally. And then we have the Large Specs Longs whose trend following systems have detected a trend change and starting to Buy. I am thinking this correction may be over and will continue to see higher prices. What ever bells and whistles you use for confluence may be worth a look ? Swing / Position entries.

Low Risk SELL on Wheat - Anticipating a Lower Swing High has been put in on the Wheat Daily chart.

#1 - Managed Money starting to Roll over
#2 - Producer / Shorts like to Sell at this price and have been Selling the Rally. I am anticipating them to head South over the next few reports
#3 - Larry Williams 2020 forecast suggests Day 53 , Today is Day 52

I have it but was too busy as of late... (I'll just run my script later - but I am about to sleep) coding, trading and relaxing by the beach.

I just simply shared it exclusively on this thread herein... It just all based on CoT raw data shared by CFTC

Hi guys

I have previously traded CoT and wasn't that successful, mainly because I didn't have a proper entry / exit strategy. I have used MoshiM excel for many years, thanks again for the great work making the CoT excel <3

So, my questions is, what kind of entries methods do you use to get into positions? Trendlines, MA, support/resistances or supply/demand... or something totally different?
And what do you look for in the CoT? only commercials and when they are heavy long/short and a looking for a reversal?

Let me know your thoughts, I don't expect people to lay out their complete trading strategy, I know alot of work have gone into it and ofc don't give that away for free :-)

Personally I will take note when Commercials are at 3-5yr extremes anticipating a reversal . I will look to enter after the High/Low is put in , then wait for a low risk Sell/Buy being a lower swing high or higher swing low to form. This would coincide with some reaction levels I like to mark my chart with, Monthly/Weekly Open, Weekly & Daily Highs /Lows , Liquidity voids drawing price. I swing trade so I'm usually in the market for anywhere from 2-10 days depending. I like to get a reaction from my entry. If it consolidates for too long I look to get out. Once the trend is confirmed I turn my attention to the Large Specs and follow, looking for entries on a pullback at previous mentioned levels. Ultimately your trade management will determine if you succeed in this game. Hope this helps. I dont trade the smaller time frames but try put those levels on your chart and see how price reacts to them on a 5 minute chart.

Cocoa Upside ? -:

#1. This one looks ready to PoP. When we have a injection of Longs and decrease in Shorts while Comms Net is at a high, we usually see a low in the market.
#2. Percentage % Value of Commercial Longs and Shorts of Total Open Interest
#3. Seasonal.
#4. Market at a Premium

It's an empty Text file.

If it's a File type issue then I have also uploaded .xlsm versions of the workbooks to the same link in my previous reply.
If it's an issue with the file-hosting websites then there are others we can try.

#1 - My focus this week is Corn based on COT data. This is Commercial Net position (Red) vs Commercial Shorts.

#2 - This chart is about Total Open Interest. Larry teachers to focus on Who ? is moving Open Interest. The Top window shows Commercial Longs (Red) vs Non Commercial Longs ( Blue). The Middle window is The Shorts. Bottom is Total Open Interest. It's the Commercial Longs that are moving Open Interest.

#3 - This one is Commercial Longs (Red) /Shorts (White) % of their Open Interest. Meaning , of all the Longs in the Market (Comms/Non Comms/ Non Reportables/ , the Commercial Longs have a very high percentage and Commercial Shorts have a low percentage.
