What broker are you using? some brokers will trigger your stop loss early depending on spread. If you contact the broker and send them the screenshots they may refund you for the loss. I've done this before in the past. For the future you should ...

Here we go again..

It all depends on how you want to utilize the data. If you are looking to build up a large position overtime in the same way that institutions do, then I would argue the best way to do this is to buy low and sell high. You must use extremely low ...

Yes. But by the time you use the data to your advantage it will most likely the coming Monday session and throughout the next week, effectively you are using last trading weeks data. But that is fine, since you can still use it to your advantage.

Yessir.

I am not going to post the screenshot because I am too lazy, but if you look at the USD COT data it is much weaker than the data we have for GOLD both long and short term. Also they have added more shorts recently indicating further weakness. So we ...

Of course, you need to still use TA for entries once you build a bias, and also understand what is going on overall in the markets, but IMO COT can be very useful as an additional tool/filter if used correctly. But you need to understand how to use ...

Here we have GOLD. Similar to SOYBEANS, we have seen that overtime the price has gone up, and asset managers have accumulated more longs than shorts. The difference here though, is that this past week, they have also ADDED more longs, and taken ...

Here we have the most recent COT data for SOYBEANS. We can see that there are much more positions on the LONG side than the SHORT side. You can also see this in the chart. But what is important is to see what happened this past week. We can see that ...

This is true, however COT provides much more information than just this. You can view the information in different ways, and use it different ways, maybe you want to look for tops/bottoms and trade reversals. Maybe you want to look for ...

IMO the most important piece of info to watch with COT data is the positions that they have recently added. ie. added 3000 longs and removed 3000 shorts. Add this along with the long term trend and you will get a better understanding of what is ...

The report is one week late. So the data is delayed, therefore you should look at the most recent data and not the overall position they hold. Those positions asset managers hold were built up overtime, so its silly to think you will get the same ...

Just keep your strategies for yourself man, no point in trying to help people on here, most people come here just to look for holy grails and read drama. The real will figure it out and trade on their own using their own systems.

lmao how do you have so much spare time.

Here is a secret. Instead of martingale traditionally. Take your max risk, lets say its 10%. Split it up into maybe 2 or 3 parts. Average into your trade. Does not matter if the trade is going in profit or not, just add to it slowly. This is better ...

Daily view we can see the price broke out from channel recently but failed to make a rally. It is retracing now and I would not be involved buying or selling atm. The level to watch is 1.2 for potential longs if we see a reaction to that level, it ...

Not really. Sometimes you can see slight differences between brokers but overall it's pretty stable. There are some guys who try to exploit these inefficiencies to make money through arbitrage trading strategies, though I wouldn't recommend going ...

1. Pips is not a good unit of measurement for success in forex trading. Since you can be pip + and lose money and vice versa. The real question you should be asking is what is a good return in % per month, and even that is relative. 2. Focus on not ...
