But the main question I would like to ask you is about the “Net Change in COT Positions.” I understand the basic concept of COT positioning, but I’m trying to understand how you interpret the net change from a trading perspective. For example, if the COT report shows that net long positions have increased significantly compared with the previous week, what does that actually tell you about the market? Does it indicate that large traders are becoming more bullish and that we should expect further upside, or do you interpret a sharp increase in net longs differently? Similarly, if the net change turns negative, how do you interpret that? Do you see it as a sign of institutional/professional traders reducing their bullish exposure, or could it sometimes represent profit-taking rather than a change in the overall market bias? I’m particularly interested in understanding how you use the Net Change in COT Positions together with price action and your trading strategy, rather than simply looking at whether positioning is net long or net short.

ЧТО ПРОИСХОДИТ ?

@Anees Ur R hope you understand my answer though? i am here if you do have any further question

@SlowBear ⛅ thanks Yes i understand ,

@Атай ДуйшоLol, do not be scared, he is tryiing to understand the imprtance of COT in the market COT isa sentiment based data, also pretty laggiing, but long term you can see the shift in the accumilation of smart money or institutional traders and this way you can easily position yourself

@SlowBear ⛅Since COT is essentially a historical record of positioning, we need to interpret it in context and correlate it with other confirmation signals rather than use it in isolation. My question is, how useful do you consider COT data for short-term or intraday trading, given that the reports are primarily backward-looking and seem more suited to identifying longer-term trends? For example, can COT positioning help us anticipate a shorter-term move in XAUUSD, or should we primarily use it to establish a higher-timeframe directional bias and then rely on price structure, OI, liquidity, and order flow for the actual trade entry?
