Free Economic Indicators: COT, US data and more to come!

GlobusFX. Have now figured out that it is in fact the ​TFF data. Have also read the thread again and see you are providing the classic COT data in an upcoming update. Many thanks.

Hi pakeha!
Thanks for trying - I appreciate it And yes - the upcoming update with classic COT data (Commercials - Non-Commercials - Speculators) is almost ready, just making final tests etc. I believe I'll publish it this weekend - when my family will go out of home so I'll have some free time ))

Hi GlobusFX,
thanks for the great product.

I am still learning about reading the COT.

Now, about the MT4 setup,
is it correct to use the indi on weekly TF? or you can suggest the right TF?

This is how it look like in weekly TF.

And can you tell me how to relate the data from the indi (data window was taken from the last candle on the weekly chart) to the original COT report?

Thanks

Ok I re-read the thread again on post #41 said your data is TFF, so now I got the TFF COT report and the data window for TFF.
I still can not see any relation between both data.

Maybe is not update yet?

Hi bpran

First of all thank you for your interest I want to say

Regarding the setup - actually you can view the COT indicators at any time frame - for example here hot it will look at D1:


Regarding the data.
The COT reports comes in two forms in general - Futures Only and Futures-and-Options - my indicators displays the values for the second case - Futures-and-Options. In general you can get the info from here - http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/Co...ssed/index.htm

But actually what I'm thinking about is that probably in my next update I'll add futures only indicators - so you guys will have an option on which data to use.

Regarding the value you see in Data Window. It's quite interesting topic and related to how Metatrader builds indicators. Actually what you see in Data Window are the values from previous week - the weekly bar started at 15/05. So when indicator is built it will get only the data for that date 15/05 - and we didn't receive report from 17/05 yet So if you'll switch to Daily chart you'll get the COT futures-and-options values for the latest report from 17/05. So on Monday 23/05 when the new week will start we'll get the new weekly bar and the values will be updated. But what I suggest is to switch to daily bars - this will give you the better insight and you'll overcome this Metatrader's indicators specifics.

NEW UPDATE IS READY!

Hey guys, I've recently uploaded new update of the indicators - the major changes are three new COT indicators - so now you can display COT in old and new form as well as build COT Index for both of them.



I've also created a small video for those who experiences problems with indicators installation. So check out the initial post - all info and link to the video is there. Also feel free to download an updated indicators package from here - http://www.darkmindfx.com/freedownload.html

The new update ready for download?
cause I am still seeing the word "Last update: 05/08/2016"

And what is the formula for the index?

How do you get the figure for this window data for the index?

Thanks

Hi bpran

Regarding the index. It converts net positions into 0 - 100% range for the given period - for example, last 26 weeks. So what it's doing it finds Min and Max value for the given range and than calculates like (value - min)/(max - min)* 100%.

doesn't look like its loading the data. does this work on windows 10 ?!

First of all Thank you for COT indicator.
I downloaded as per your instructions but doesn't loading data. i have windows 10.

Hi

Yes, it should work on Windows 10 - I've got Win10 on two of my machines. Have you followed the installation steps described on the page? BTW you can watch the video there and in the first post of this thread - there are certain files you need to move to other folder. And do you have any errors in the Experts tab?

Hi,

I watched your video and downloaded as per your instructions..moved some files to other folder...please see below snap shot..

Hi Patel,

Thank you for your feedback - I'll check what could be wrong there and will fix ASAP.

Meanwhile could you please try whether other COT indicators are working for you?

Hi,

I tried all COT and Economics indicators...All loading it to chart but not seeing any data..

Thanks.

Hi Patel,

Thanks for your feedback. Ok, I'll try to repro on my side and get back to ASAP once I'll find what could be wrong.

hi globusfx,

indicators r getting loaded, but no data is showing up on the chart..mine is windows 8.

hey,
thanks for your great work, just wondering if you had time to see what went wrong on our windows 10 and 8 maybe...

thanks brother.

Hi joshychris, gnajra

Thanks for trying!
Regarding the problems you have - have you tried to follow the video guide? It's on the first page of this thread and also can be found on the download page at my website. You should check whether all the files are placed as shown there - in correct folders. Could you please check and let me know if it worked for you?

hi globusfx,

the COT indexes do not seem to work in 4 hour or hourly timeframes ...
