{quote} How can you make a decision based on a weekly report that shows a market sentiment that changes every week but is long term bias. i look at the chart that you published euro price vs usd dealers, it not make sense when you look on eu chart. I'm really curious, not just asking

Its obvious traders are buying/selling every weeks, hence you see up and down in the positionning
But market sentiment doesn't change that often

You need to COT the same way you use your chart, aka look at the overall picture, just don't look a single week (or a single candle on your chart)

Check that JPY chart
Does it make more sense to you ?

Lets face it, COT is bad at timing the entries, so a good strategy based on S&D zone is very good

Is it better than that? i can't tell you really, we all have different ways of trading/investing

COT is not for your intraday routine, the goal is to load some buys/sells and hold it for weeks/months.

To me COT is powerful if well used, it tells me what the market participants are doing overall, if they are loaded or not.
But of course i look at the S&D areas, oscillator, etc... to get entries that COT is not giving

With that very long hourly bearish divergence in the making, one thing i won't do is buying until we have some good retrace

I'll miss the rally but it'll save me from buying that high

Esper seems to be going against using military. Evidently the Secretary of Defense has no clue on what the military does.
