About the Commitment of Traders Report
The Commitment of Traders Report (COT for short) is a weekly report complied by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It shows the total long and short positions held by various categories of large traders, including speculators, banks, producers, manufactures and more.
Traders have long used the COT report as a tool to determine the positions that the big and important players are taking in the market. If you trade on a longer timeframe, ideally several weeks or more, then you would likely benefit from having COT information at your disposal. We provide the software and indicators to have this valuable information displayed directly on your MetaTrader charts, allowing you to line up real world positioning with your analysis.
The data is compiled by the CFTC every Tuesday, and the report is released after market close on Friday. Our Updater App automatically imports the data over the weekend in to your MetaTrader terminal ready for use at the market open on Sunday.
