Just wondering if anyone has had experience using the commitment of traders data to successfully trade the futures market? If so do you find it works better for a particular sector, say currency futures, grains, or softs?

Also, what are your triggers for entry into a market?

There have been a couple of extensive threads on the COT. It was a year or two ago.

You might try doing a search in the Systems section.

Interesting when there is a huge divergence between speculators and commercials like now on CHF.
The CoT is related to the CHF future, this has nothing to do with USDCHF pair.
The CHF future is more traded like EURUSD in forex.
Sure it has to do with the USDCHF pair.

The CHF future is CHFUSD.

The USDCHF pair will almost exactly mirror it.(inverse)

I think COT reports come out weekly, so they work better off the higher timeframes. There are some good articles regarding the subject if you do a Internet search and a few threads here on FF as well. I don't know enough about them to use the information, but others claim to be able to use the info.
