Webinar Description

This week’s webinar will focus on the all-important Commitment of Traders (COT) report and explore advanced techniques for using it to identify potential trading opportunities as well as manage risk effectively.

The Commitment of Traders (COT) report published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows the open interest of different participants in the U.S. futures market by reporting opening and closing positions. Led by John Rowland, Barchart's Senior Market Strategist, and Don Dawson, Barchart’s Futures Market Analyst & Contributor, this special webinar will be from a tactical perspective on using the COT for futures and equities trading.

During the session, we will provide an in-depth explanation of the COT report, including the different categories and classifications of traders and the significance of the data for traders. We'll also explore advanced techniques for analyzing COT data, including examining prominent market participants' position changes over time and using that data to identify potential market reversals. We will also analyze COT data to help manage risk and avoid costly mistakes.

In addition to the COT report, we'll discuss using other technical and fundamental indicators to develop a comprehensive trading strategy. This will include examining and integrating the COT report with moving averages, chart patterns, and fundamental analysis tools.

Whether you’re new to trading or a seasoned pro, this webinar will provide valuable insights and practical tips for using the COT report to improve your trading performance.
