COTs Timer

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 Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC’s COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I posted about here for seven years, gave weekly trading signals based on the COT data.

Updates: New Signals Page, New Story

Just modified my "Trading Setups" page (see link above) to include columns for the latest signals. I'll update those as we go. Also, check the "Alex Roslin's articles" link for a story I did in today's Montreal Gazette newspaper: "Is the market shakeup over yet?"

I have be trying to set up spreadsheets as you have instructed. However, I cannot seem to find the SD and MA for the Large Spec. and the Commercials. If you could, let me know where this information is, so I can put it in my spreadsheets.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your email. You have to create these columns yourself. They aren't provided in the COTs reports. Use Excel's AVERAGE and STDEV functions to do so.

You can also download my Russell 2000 spreadsheet at the link at FuturesAndOptionsTraderMag.com to see how to set up such a spreadsheet.
