Hello folks, I am just curious how you analyze/consider COT for cross pairs like EUR/JPY?

(because it's the majors that's only being reported on the CFTC.gov site.)

Do an analysis on COT for Eur and do one seperately for JPY, do one for all of them in fact and use it in the decision making process of which cross will optimize your chance for profitability.

Hi Leugimp, thanks for replying.

Can you please specify the process how you do that? Right now USD is weak in the EUR/USD and USD/JPY. What I don't know is how will I decide which one(from euro or yen), is stronger, which is weaker, what direction will the cross pair EUR/JPY be going?

Do you have any checklist/criteria? (like in this example, EUR/JPY, to gauge which is much stronger?).

Again, thanks very much Leugimp.
