Read in the beginning of the thread and find out just how some traders here positioned themselves based on the COT reading. There is not anything wrong setting up your very own reading but do it in conjunction with the CURRENT market, the current price action. This is precisely what I do.
If the COT shows a substantial inclusion of the commercials on each side of the market, I go against them for short term drama. I follow the commercials as soon as they start losing it. This isn't a bullet-proof system and none is.
This time around, as you can see, I knew there were 30K new commercial traders added to COT in GBP/USD long position. Hey, this really is a significant few!
However, what when I jump in immediately, on the long side? It's true, you got it I shed, like an impatient gambler, inexperienced novice. What should I do? Await MY price action and get in.
Just stay calm, allow the market bring you the freshness of breeze (Price Action) and... be ready to shed.
which has been a fantastic breakout. I am closing this transaction with 220 pips. It might be sufficient per week. I will wait for a new COT till tonight.
Good luck!
If you followed the COT report (9K growth of the commercials buying GBP/USD), price action suggestive of bullish reversal was still available until early now. PA pattern (pinbar) bouncing off the former daily resistance needed a set up for me.
Dear Thread,
Interesting read. Thanks for the input of everyone. What, ultimately, is your best source for a quick visual read of COT? And, can it be as simple as, figure out which way the commericals are trading and utilize your own technicals to follow them?
Thanks,
