The Federal Government keeps tabs on all of us who trade... SURPRISE!!
 

Whenever we sell short... they know, whenever we buy and go long... they know, whenever we buy options, either long or short, again... they know!
 

That information is displayed at the bottom of this chart; it's synthesized to form a very useful technical indicator!

 

The absolute best thing about COT is that it is NOT based on market price whatsoever. It's NOT like any other indicator you've ever seen. This is strictly an indicator that looks at what the largest industry movers are doing, and then points it out to us!
 

Would you even want to venture out and try to trade without knowing this information, now that you know it's available?

 


How do you trade with the COT? Take a look at this chart!
 
 
 



 

Can you see the Buy and the Sell arrows/signals being generated on the chart above? Those are actually coming from a formula derived from the Commitment of Traders.

The formula for these signals was created by a very good friend of mine, Mr. Jake Bernstein. When I told Jake we were going to add the COT to Track 'n Trade, he kindly offered us his formula for reading the COT and for deriving buy/sell signals from it. We named his formula the "JBCOT Buy/Sell Indicator." After I had our programmers add the JBCOT formula into Track 'n Trade 5.0, I was absolutely blown away! I was absolutely amazed at the accuracy of Jake's formula. Frankly, I was very surprised he let us include it in Track 'n Trade 5.0; it is absolutely unbelievable!!! (Thank you, Jake!)

Now remember, the COT does not take into account the actual price of the market whatsoever. All we are doing is telling you when the momentum of the largest industry players are changing direction in their buying and selling power. We are, in essence, showing you the hands of the other players with these buy/sell arrows. We are simply pointing out when the momentum of the market is changing, and when the big boys are changing from buying contracts to selling contracts or vice-versa: not in price, but in time.
 
 



 


So, do you think this little gem could come in handy? The commitment of traders requires an additional data feed to keep it current, so we update it as soon as the report is posted by the Feds each Friday. The data is downloaded directly into Track 'n Trade 5.0 along with your daily market data update subscription service--quick and easy!

Okay, now here's some more of the good stuff...
 
 



 


Have you ever been worried about being caught in a limit move? I know I have. Just looking back through history, I've noticed these classic examples of where the large specs and the large commercials were jumping ship just before a large limit move crash. How do they know? Amazing isn't it. The JBCOT pointed it out to us, giving us plenty of time to react.

Here's another classic example.
