EVOLUTION & NATURE OF THE REPORT

New sentiment models are constantly added while taking into account their overall utility. Feel free to leave a feedback (e.g. nature of the document, its usefulness, its time interval, its content, language, etc.).

The directional views are represented using the following convention and are followed by their charts:

⚡ This symbol represents a new directional opportunity.

🔁 This symbol represents an on-going directional opportunity.

✅ This symbol represents a recently closed opportunity at a profit.

❌ This symbol represents a recently closed opportunity at a loss.

⛓️‍💥 This symbol represents a neutralized opportunity before seeing its target due to new conflicting technical elements (if the view is neutralized at a loss compared to its entry price, it will be considered as a loss and will have the symbol from the previous step).

The directional views presented must simply be used to help confirm the overall expected direction of the analyzed market. The support and resistance zones are not hard levels, they are merely areas of expected reactions (reversals), and hence for risk management purposes, you are advised to place your stops as you see fit (some noise may occur around the support and resistance levels).

THE COT REPORT STRATEGY

The CFTC publishes statistics of the futures market on a weekly basis called the Commitment of traders (COT) report. The report has many valuable information inside, namely the number of futures contracts held by market participants (hedge funds, banks, producers of commodities, speculators, etc.).

💡 Relevant Information 💡

Two main categories in the COT report must be distinguished:

• Commercial players: They deal in the futures markets for hedging purposes (i.e. to cover their operations or other trading positions). Examples of hedgers include investment banks and agricultural giants. Their positions are negatively correlated with the underlying market.

• Non-commercial players: They deal in the futures markets for speculative reasons (i.e. to profit from their positions). Examples of speculators include hedge funds. Their positions are positively correlated with the underlying market.

The COT report strategy is the core of this report. It highlights the markets that are overbought or oversold with regards to sentiment. The following table summarizes the current state of the sentiment for currencies and indices:
