Viking,

If you'd like I could e-mail you a copy of an excel spreadsheet that allows you to download the cftc data, and will categorize the data into net commercial positions, net speculative, and net small traders.

I found it on a website sometime last year but it has been helpful.

And it was free.

Let me know

Can someone explain the value of COT reports to this newbie? It seems that Commercial positions are usually the opposite of Large Trader positions.

Also, looking at the Commercial position vis a vis the Euro since Feb, they've been short while the Euro has gone from 1.30 to 1.37 - looks like a money-loser to me.

Obviously I'm missing something, but what?

Well, here's what you can do if you have the time.

Go to the source site for the Cots. Download at least 10 years of Cot data. Import it into Excel (it comes in csv format). Get the same amount of weekly price data from your favorite broker. Import that into Excel. Then play with the data. You might be surprised at what you find, I know I was.

I read an article not long ago that said the COT had lost most of its value.

The problem is the increased difficulty in identifying who is a commercial and who is a large speculator speculator.

I don't recall where I saw this.

Do a Google search. Use "forum" as one of your key words.
