COTs Timer

Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don’t need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC’s COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I posted about here for seven years, gave weekly trading signals based on the COT data.

Holiday Delay Until Monday

Due to the July 4 holiday, today's normally scheduled Commitments of Traders report will be released Monday, July 7, at 3:30 p.m. EST. Tune in here after that for my next weekly signals based on this interesting government data. Happy July 4 to American readers, and a good weekend to everyone else.

I haven't had a chance to write a post about the latest signals, but I updated my latest signals table with today's data shortly after the Commitments of Traders report was released this afternoon. Check back here Tuesday for more details in a post.
