TickSurfers COT Report Indicator
Description
The Commitment of Traders Report gives us insights into what the “big money” is buying or selling. Since big money managers can’t buy or sell all at once, they accumulate or distribute their positions over a period of time. Hence, the COT report is useful in anticipating big moves weeks in advance despite the report being released a week later. TickSurfers COT Report Indicator plots the data as a histogram and provides a practical selection of the different sections of the report, separated by Legacy, Disaggregated and Financial. COT report information is provided weekly, not daily. As such, it is best suited for weekly charts. Histogram can be color-coded to indicate that positions are increasing or decreasing.
Features & Settings
Typical Legacy reports include Commercials, Noncommercial and Nonreportable Positions. Financial Dealer Positions are also of interest. You can select to see the net positions, which gets the short positions and subtracts them from the long positions. This feature is only available for reports that have long and short positions. NOTE: This feature will be coming soon to TradeStation® as they only have the legacy report.
