COT Report Indicator with Speculator Net Positions

5 ore fa

The COT Report Indicator with Speculator Net Positions is designed to give traders insights into the behavior of large market participants, particularly speculators, based on the Commitment of Traders (COT) report data. This indicator visualizes the long and short positions of non-commercial traders, allowing users to gauge the sentiment and positioning of large speculators in key markets, such as Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, S&P 500, and currency pairs like EURUSD, GBPUSD, and others.

The indicator provides three essential components:

• Net Long Position (Green) - Displays the total long positions held by speculators.
  
• Net Short Position (Purple) - Shows the total short positions held by speculators.
  
• Net Difference (Long - Short) (Yellow) - Illustrates the difference between long and short positions, helping users identify whether speculators are more bullish or bearish on the asset.
  
• Recommended Timeframes:
  

Best Timeframes: Weekly and Monthly

1. The COT report data is released on a weekly basis, making higher timeframes like the Weekly and Monthly charts ideal for this indicator. These timeframes provide a more accurate reflection of the underlying trends in speculator positioning, avoiding the noise present in lower timeframes.
