{quote} Looking at the weekly chart (continuous contract) this could be a perfect alignment with the technical side of trading. {image}
Exactly mate!
And right at the high band of Bollinger band weekly

A move high is always possible to get rid of weak shorts, then its good to go

Daily sentiment {image} How to read it ? When its too high, above 75/80 it shows extreme buying When its too low, below 20/25 it shows extreme selling It doesn't mean its time to sell or buy, but its a warning
Dear Kuroro,

Was wondering how to interpret this data earlier and now its bit clearer. Does this data need to read along with the COT data? And this daily sentiments - is there any website this info is published daily? Thx for your insight, im learning about this COT.

Daily sentiment is totally different, its a private calculation based on Jake Bernstein.
Check his site http://www.trade-futures.com/ but its a paying service

Its not COT related at all, but you can use it as a complement mate

Above 80/85, below 15/20 is the warning zone. Its not a selling/buying until you have confirmation with other sentiment/technical/fundamental

This is interesting stuff.
Please where does these charts come from as I have checked the cft website you posted above and didn't see charts.

Can this help a struggling trader?

For your 2 questions :

1 / I have extracted the datas from the cftc.gov website and made my own charts from excel. If you are too lazy to make your own chart you can find lots of websites about it (barcharts.com / cotunchained.com or google COT charts)

2/ Its hard to answer your second question. For my own case, it helped me a lot to understand what the market participants are doing, and how big they are loaded in longs or shorts.
Have a look at my journal, or any other here in FF, check all charts and look if they serve you.

Don't forget they are weekly chart, it won't be useful for your day trading. Think about mid/long term here.

Thanks a lot for this apt reply and links.

I have checked out the links.The barcharts had me wondering what to do there and the charts in the other link don't look like yours in terms of long/short virtualization. I understand that can be because you make your own charts as you pointed out.

I reckon the best approach is to learn how to make the charts with excel so that what I see is the same as what you have and maybe we can do more.
Hopefully with chart like yours one can benefit as you do.

I appreciate once more.

Barcharts has everything, but its simple (non-commercial/commercials & dealers/AM/MM) without seeing longs & shorts apart.
COTunchained is better, its the same as my charts but like you said the visual is different because i'm doing chart+COT on the same chart, and i use histogram to see it better

I advise you to do it on excel, or any other support. So you can tweak the datas, make calculations, cross datas with each others. Plenty of useful informations

Hey kuroro001

Really like ur thread and ur graphics. I'm also planning to do the COT-Data in excel, how/where do you get the price from the futures? Do you type them in every week manually or do you use a source to download them (too bad the data is not included in the COT).

Yes it's all manual, copy/paste the datas into excel
Or you could do some excel macros to do it automatically. I'm just too lazy to code something

Thanks @kuroro001 for your reply, i started with a first draft of my Excel-COT-Tool but not sure if i will stick to the Legacy or Disaggregated report. In ZC i tried to illustrate both ways (left legacy, right dissagregated), the numbers of the commercials is way diffrent without the swap dealers in it but the commercial-index for 26 weeks (larry williams) is more or less the same. Intresting in the dissagregated illustration is that since 2015 the commercials net position in ZC only in june 2020 was positiv (not even in may/june 2019 before the big spike).

I still have to figure out which format helps me more and how to biuld a solid trading strategy with these data! :-)

You got some nice charts there, better than mine

Regarding the datas, i think all of them are useful, its a whole. Have a look at everything and make your decision. But swap dealers are very important

I have some examples of how I use the data to alert me to a potential set up and take profit targets.
I have a range of templates set up showing different correlations of COT Data that make sense to me and my system. Based on Historical COT data I identify a Set up and then use my Technical analysis tools for timing an entry. I can also use the COT data as potential take profit targets based on where I anticipate the COT data to get to based on what has happened before.

Now Looking into the Crystal Ball ?
Copper I am thinking may consolidate at the top while profits are taken for a while , then I'd like to see some return to the mean threshold. But COT data is stretched at a near extreme. Corn looks like market structure has broken to the upside and we have a nice Low risk Buying opportunity but it may be slow going for a while.

Excellent posts as always AussieBob!!

Regarding Copper i totally agree, a correction may happen here and now. And copper is well correlated to the dollar and equities, so it may trigger something accross the board

Regarding Corn, i was very long too, now i'm feeling like it could head back down alongside wheat/soy/copper, before surging up like there is no tomorrow

But keep posting, i like your charts and analysis

RE Corn , I hear ya. Price of course could continue lower and take out the lows. My interpretation of a "Low Risk Buy" is when I enter a trade with a tight collar on the Stop. If I am wrong , I know about it pretty quick and will wait for the price action to show me something at a lower price. But if I get the expansion I am after, then I have a good R:R on the trade. I gotta risk it if I want the Biscuit. Lol. But COT data and other technical's do suggest we are Oversold down here.
