Gas to Cash, Crude Bearish

Two signals take effect on this coming week's open of trading based on the latest Commitments of Traders report:

- cash for natural gas
- bearish for crude oil

See my latest signals table for more details on trader positioning in these and the other markets I trade using the free weekly COT data from the CFTC. Good luck this week.

Natural Gas Bearish for One Week Only

A few new signals take effect on Monday's open of trading based on the latest Commitments of Traders data:

- bearish for natural gas (this signal to last just one week)
- bullish for gold and the 30-year Treasury bond
- cash for copper

See my latest signals table for more details on trader positioning in these and the other markets I trade using the free weekly COT data.

Good luck this week.

S&P 500 Bearish, While Banks Aren't

Three new signals take effect on Monday's open of trading based on the latest Commitments of Traders data:

- bearish for the S&P 500
- bullish for the BKX U.S. Bank Index
- cash for silver

The S&P 500 and BKX signals are obviously contradictory, but that often happens with the COT data. Not all of the signals are correct. Or both signals could be profitable within their own time frame.

In any case, be sure to check my latest signals table for more details on the new COT data, which details how traders are positioning trillions of dollars in over 200 markets worldwide.

Good luck this week!

Storms Brings Flurry of New COT Signals

Welcome to COTs Timer's first post in 2014. Lots of new signals to report taking effect on this week's open of trading.

See my latest signals table for the details and trader positioning in the 10 markets I trade using the free weekly Commitments of Traders reports.

The new signals:

- Cash for the BKX U.S. Bank Index, natural gas and gold.
- Bearish for silver.

Sorry for my delayed post this week. There was last week's holiday delay for the data - plus we missed our connection thanks to storm flight chaos in New York last night.

Somehow, we managed to get out - with our luggage no less! - in between two storms and are now relaxing in Florida. It was a true Christmas (by the old calendar) miracle!

I hope the storms and cold didn't disrupt your weekend too badly either. Good luck this week.

Holiday Delay for COT Report

Happy New Year! The latest Commitments of Traders report will be delayed until Monday because of the New Year holiday.

See you back here Monday or Tuesday with a new COT update.
