Commercial and large traders are basically diametrically opposed.  \n The large non-commercial or \"fund traders\" are trend following by nature so they will be wrong at tops andbottoms.  \n Commercial traders trade on fundamental supply & demand factors.  \n We can learn to trust their fundamental bias and use our own technical analysis in conjunction with it. Justallow those who have a more trained and accredited staff to do the work for you.  \n When the Commercials are at a 12 month extreme net long we would be expecting a long term low orsignificant intermediate term low to be forming in the market place relatively soon after this reading in theCOT data.  \n When Commercials are at a 12 month extreme net short position we would be expecting a long term high orsignificant intermediate term high to be forming in the market place relatively soon after this reading in theCOT data.  \nThe majority of market tops and bottoms are highlighted by COT fingerprints left by the Commercialtraders.  \n COT data can be used as an overbought or oversold index .  \n At 12 month extremes we need to learn to anticipate major trend changes.  \n COT is an early warning of major trend reversals for long term analysis.  \nWhen Commercials get to an extreme net long we should be filtering out all of our short trades and startlooking for that trend reversal.  \n When Commercials get to an extreme net short we should be filtering out all of our long trades and startlooking for that trend reversal.  \n This is not a timing tool, do not time your trades based on COT analysis. It is a selection tool that gives us along term anticipation of something unfolding and we just wait for technicals to line up with that premise .  \n You will not be day trading on COT information, but you will use it to help you with your intermediate term,short-term, swing, & day trading by forming a long-term bias based off of it.  \n How do Commercials trade? The image below will show you how:  \n Think of the below example as a daily chart.  \nAs the market/ price structure starts moving upwards and we have formed an intermediate or long-term lowon the daily chart, we start looking for 4 hour, 1 hour, and 15 minute basis optimal trade entries and buy onretracements.  \nCommercials have already accumulated their net long positions so they will be selling & distributing it to usas price moves up.  \nPoint \\#3 is the ideal position to be buying because the trend has been put in place by the Commercials bythis point.  \n After being extreme long and then having a correction to the downside, once it has gone above 0 and is netlong again, that is an outstanding time to be a buyer. We will be in sync with the Commercial trend that isbeing engineered.  \n The basis of this is to look for the trend that the Commercials are engineering and you trade in sync with thatbased on the extreme 's.  \nYou can see in the chart below that arrow is pointing at a net short position after an extreme net long. Thismeans that it will probably just be a correction in the larger overall trend which it was.  \nIt is not always whether the Commercials are just net long or net short. It is about the trend that has beenset in place by 12 month or 4 year extremes.  \n If we are coming from a 12 month or 4 year extreme net long then we are in a buy program.  \n If we are coming from a 12 month or 4 year extreme net short then we are in a sell program.  \n These are only cancelled out by a new 12 month or 4 year extreme .  \n You should not just be looking at whether they are net long or net short. A rapid increase would be a buysignal and a rapid decrease would be a sell signal.  \n A 20% change is","cbCaiqRwdYV7W9EP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqRwdYV7W9EP","pdf",1840285,"English","# Commitments of Traders (COT) and Trader Groups\n## Using COT fingerprints and overbought/oversold signals\n# Extreme Net Positions and Trend Reversals\n## Long vs short programs from 12-month or 4-year extremes\n## Filtering longs and shorts at fresh extremes\n# Trading Approach and Execution Rules\n## Bias building vs timing\n## Intermediate swings and aligning with engineered trends\n## Seasonal tendencies and trade setups","[{\"question\":\"What does the Commitments of Traders (COT) report help track for forex trading?\",\"answer\":\"It tracks weekly positions of three trader groups so traders can infer the “smart money” behavior, especially through commercials’ COT fingerprints and extreme net readings.\"},{\"question\":\"How should traders interpret 12-month extreme net long vs net short in the commercial group?\",\"answer\":\"Extreme net long suggests a longer-term low may form relatively soon, while extreme net short suggests a longer-term high may form relatively soon.\"},{\"question\":\"Is COT analysis meant for trade timing?\",\"answer\":\"No. COT is described as a selection tool to build long-term anticipation and bias; technical conditions should still be used for timing entries.\"},{\"question\":\"What trade filters does the document recommend at fresh 12-month or 4-year extremes?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends filtering longs when COT reaches fresh extremes on commercial net short positions, and filtering shorts when COT reaches fresh extremes on commercial net long positions.\"}]","Inner Circle Trader - Trade Forex Like the Insiders | PDF",23]
