A little perplexed here. Loaded the template, indicator and the most recent data file ( 5-5-2015 from forexcot.wix.com ) into correct locations as what the guide states. Bring up a weekly chart of GBPUSD on my ICMarkets live account and the last update is from 2015-04-14. Have uninstalled and reinstalled everything a few times and still get the same outcome ( did this when market was open and closed ). Where is my brain fart happening ? {image}
Hi stroker70

Now in post#1 the latest link to new file.

Hi SYm
First of all thanks for introducing this concept and taking your time to code an indicator for it. However there are still some confusions I wanted to clear up see if you can help?
The pdf states that the green and red coordinates are plotted against positive numbers and they always stay above the zero line. Please check in the screenshots I have provided for EUR USD. It might be a dumb question but Im confused

One more thing I wanted to ask is that the weekly report on your link is from May 19. There have been a few reports since then. In order for this strategy plus your indicator to work, we would need regular weekly updates. What do you think? Cheers

Hi HiOctane

I'm a little overwelmed in this period so it's difficult for me to update data.
For your question: it depends on what your are looking (see picture below)
... as you can see GREEN and RED line is always positive, because they rapresent "open contracts" LONG and SHORT.


Cheers

Hello sym, CoT probably reports the best position of the big money, problem is that even when they are at a LONG position, one does not know how low it will go down before eventually reverse to LONG position. how much can one person get drawdown without a possible LOW limit.

CoT data is sometimes flawed in a way, a lesson i have learnt during the silver and gold crash.
Smart money may go in and exit before the CoT data is computed during Tuesday (if not mistaken)

anyway this method is a very good method indeed, i will go through all 14 pages to get bigger idea on this.

thank you for spending so much effort in making this thing work.

Problem... everything downloaded OK. I loaded the template, checked indicator for correct COT_report name, then
bring up a weekly chart of EU/US. The data flashes on chart for a second, then disappears. I checked Experts tab for indicator info and first it says the indicator initialized, then the next entry is Stack Overflow Error. I get the same outcome no matter what pair I try it on. Any suggestion/reason/solution to this? THANKS!

Preliminary operations Once you have downloaded the file (actual is: COTindicator_1.8.doc) change file extension from .doc to .zip. File name will became: COTindicator_1.8.zip.

It's a great indicator, but when I followed the guidance on the setup, seems that I encountered some issues:
the CTOindicator is in gray after I put it in the Indicators folder.
as show in the enclosed photo below:

could you help me with this?

thank you very much!

Hi people

I apologize for not answering the latest questions, but I don't have spare time in this period.
I'll resume everything and update files in september (after the 10th).
Be patient

Thanks

Hi, you can use windows command prompt (normally having black color icon) with RENAME command.

Hi mates In post #1 the link to new COT-report (24-3-2015). Have a good week. P.S. I'm working hard on a new interesting tool based on daily COT (options market) I think it's quite a remarcable tool (even if at it's early stage) and I could start a new thread if there is some interest about it. This is something you CAN'T find elsewhere... very new and unique. See what I mean? Have a good day {image}
Hi Sym!
I'm very much interested.
Please create a new thread for this indicator, or just share it here.
I will be very grateful to you !!!
