How to use it
Read the hedgers
Commercials are the informed hedgers — extreme net-long readings often mark value/bottoms; extreme net-short, tops.
Watch the specs
Noncommercial (large specs) are trend-followers; crowded extremes can precede reversals when positioning unwinds.
Confirm, don’t time
COT updates weekly — use it for positional bias and context, paired with your intraday levels for timing.
Settings
