"Really impressive analysis! The best I've seen on this dataset"

As an avid COT Report watcher based in the UK, I was fascinated to read about your approach on the Timer blog, especially in regards the S&P 500. I have been looking into how best to generate signals for the S&P from the data, and like yourself have found that using extended positions for Commercials/ Non-reportables provided pretty impressive results - somewhat to my surprise as I'd always look at the Speculators as the best contrarian plays.

Your approach of being flexible on what categories are worth watching is really interesting, your trade results amazing and I'd love to see a sample of your spreadsheet sometime to get a better feel for your approach.

Really impressive analysis! The best I've seen on this dataset.

"Thanks for all of your great work"

I have been using your COTs setup with great success and have created some of my own. The 10-year short trade has been very profitable as of late and by the looks of it still has more room to run even with the commercials trimming their short positions. Thanks for all of your great work.

"The first approach I have seen that gives the trader a substantial edge"

Thank you so much for sharing the results of your research into the COT data. I have struggled for years to make sense of the COT data, and your work provides the first approach I have seen that gives the trader a substantial edge. I will be reading your blog every Monday to learn of any new signals and new developments.
