The Commitment of Traders (COT) report is a valuable resource for forex traders, providing insights into the positioning of different market participants. By analyzing the COT report, traders can gauge market sentiment and potential price movements.

How to use this report?

For instance, an increase in sell positions by commercial traders may suggest a bearish outlook for a currency, potentially leading to a decrease in its value. Conversely, if commercial traders buy more, it could indicate a bullish trend, possibly driving the currency’s value up.

One should look for discrepancies between commercial trader positions and currency price trends to effectively use the COT chart in forex trading, as these can signal upcoming market shifts.

To better understand leveraging the COT report in trading strategies, consider exploring educational resources from a forex school.
