Using The Commitment Of Traders (COT) Reports

You may have heard about the Commitment of Traders (COT) Reports, and how they are used to understand the market dynamics. But what, exactly, do they tell you? And why should you use them if you trade futures or options on futures? In this special session, Barchart welcomes John Rowland, who brings years of futures trading experience to the discussion.
John talks about the importance of using the COT reports, and demonstrated how to read and interpret the data you find on each. He then showed how you can use the Commitment of Traders reports in your trading.

when the numbers compared to last Tuesday show us more short then buy in GBP and more buy than shell, it tells us "sell GBP and buy JPY" means the pair GBPJPY will fall , going lower, is it correct?

[@BarchartOfficial]

The GBP/JPY pair is measuring the relative value of the British pound against the value of the Japanese Yen. So, if you are selling GBP and buying JPY, you are expecting the GBP/JPY pair to decrease in value.

[@Milen10724]

Could you please advise where I can get the historical daily prices for the assets listed in the COT reports? Is there a free source for auto download in Excel of the daily historical prices for these and other assets as well?

[@BarchartOfficial]

Historical daily prices for futures contracts are available for site members, example: www.barchart.com/futures/quotes/ZW*0/historical-download

In 43:10 the speculators short open interest is higher than the commercials long. How can the trend is upward though?

[@BarchartOfficial]

Hi, thanks a lot for watching. At around 43:10, John says that open interest has fallen, and therefore the upward trend has weakened.

[@dmakey81]

good info, but not very good presentation. when a presenter repeatedly says aaa aaa aaa, it comes across as unprepared or unsure.

[@BarchartOfficial]

Hi dmac, thanks for watching and for your feedback. Much appreciated.
