Technical Analysis and Chart Interpretations – Book

The Commitment of Traders (COT) report gives investors a look at the inner workings of the U.S. commodities and futures markets. It provides valuable information on the positioning of traders, telling investors if speculators have taken a long, short, or neutral stance on a wide variety of trading vehicles.

Like the AAII index, the put-call ratio, and the CBOE Volatility Index, the COT report is frequently used as a sentiment indicator. An extreme level of bullishness or bearishness is considered a sign of an impending reversal. The COT’s predecessor was an annual report, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Futures Administration starting in 1924.

The COT report itself was originally issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on a monthly basis starting in 1962. Beginning in 1992, the report was released every two weeks; it became a weekly report in the year 2000.
