Check out my other signals and the rest of the data on the newly updated latest signals table. (In other news, my natural gas signal remains resolutely bearish for one more week, then goes to cash.) And be sure to look back here early next week for a portfolio update. Good luck next week!
Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don’t need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the U.S. government’s free weekly Commitments of Traders reports. This Holy Grail of market info lists trillions in positions in 150 markets. Yet, top economists and analysts have mostly failed to crack the COT code. My COTs Timer trading system, which I continue to refine, aims to catch market trends by identifying extremes of trader positioning that are about to reverse.

Bank Bounce
Wow - tough week. But Friday's Commitments of Traders data from the CFTC has some potentially good news for bullish positions. My trading setup based on this data went bullish for the benchmark BKX U.S. Bank Index. That signal is based on trading positions in the three-month Eurodollar, which got briefly much more bullish of late. One caution: the small trader total open interest has fallen substantially in the latest COT report. This pushed their signal into the bearish column. But that signal has a two-week trade delay, so the setup will remain bullish for up to two weeks, then go either to cash... or maybe even bearish. Who knows!
