Is there a platform or app that allows you to see charts of the COT reports released by CFTC? I'm reading a book that gives formulas for analysis and I'd like to be able to plug it in real easy to see rather than make some complex Excel spreadsheet.
Sure, it's right here. https://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/quikstrike/commitment-of-traders.html
Does anyone here actually get any utility out of the COT report? I mean incremental actionable information without which you would not either initiate or close out a trade?
Nah, it may be useful for long-term positional trading analysis since it is once per week. If it was a real-time feed every day all day? THAT would be fascinating!
Can see positioning. If everyone is short or long, and there’s a risk catalyst coming up, you can identify where a potential move might come from.
