Crude oil still short ?

Producers are still short hedged so far, they are retreating their short as price falls.

The setup i'll be waiting is the following : As prices fall, producers will cool off all their shorts and start going net longs (consumers will take the lead)

For now shorts until producers are net longs

2 charts here : First one with the dealers, second one with the assets managers
As you can see the dealers are increasing their net short bet (its the smart money), while the dumb money is going more long after this weekly drop. Dumb money trying to buy the dip, while smart money is selling more as it drops.
The position is not that strong, its possible to have rises, but i wouldn't recommend to buy this market ahead of the US election

Vix short dealers is saying they are not seeing a rise in the market, they are not selling the VIX, which is a bad thing for the market overall

Short side of the assets managers is saying Dumb money is selling the VIX, again dumb money could end up with a bag full of dirts

This chart represent long/short from the money managers. I made it on a scale 100/-100%. You can see its going up quickly. Dumb money is buying too much...until it dropd hard

Short side of the money managers, they are totally gone from the short side. They must be only looking up, which is as dumb as them

Almost 100% here, dumb money is going all in. Not for me

Short side of the money managers, such a Corn market, they don't see any fall, but once it starts they'll have to do the same and it will be furious

Nice thread mate. Do you have experience with using contango and backwardation in combination with COT data?

Its actually a 100/-100% ratio (yearly percentile) of the money managers (hedge funds). I may rename it

To learn how about it :
https://www.dummies.com/education/ma...in-statistics/

Excel got a "Centile" function

Explanation : It compares the current value with the past ones (past 52 values) and "rank" it on a scale from -100/+100 to see how high/low it is compared to the previous ones

Yes if you want to see the money manager ratio
But you can do with the producers/dealers, or the assets managers and see how it works

Plenty of options when you analyse the COT report

It seems that the sugar rose at the end of the week, I think now would be a good time to sell. The coffee has already gone down as you indicated, now how do you see if it rises?

Its fun you are talking about sugar & coffee, as this week end i was looking at the spread strategy between these two commodities

But first about coffee :
Money managers, the short side have started to increase shorts at the bottom. Shorts are still very very low....but an increase here and now is never a good sign.
What i look at, are the swap dealers. They were very short, and retreated most of their positions after this drop.
Overall, trend is down, market participants are not looking at a significant rise.....but they are getting prepared. I wouldn't go long for a big swing up, but a weekly bounce can occur for sure.
For now i'm flat, i'd be looking for a deeper move to buy it for mid term again

Secondly, sugar :
Producers are very short hedged, money managers are very long. Plan is to short rallies still. I was looking for short last week, i didn't see any opportunities. Maybe next week

Now for the spread strategy
Short sugar, long coffee strategy could develop in the next weeks....lets watch it
