What data it uses and what its limits are

  • !The COT is published with a lag (Tuesday data, released on Friday): it is context, not timing.
  • !An extreme can persist for weeks; it is not a reversal signal.
  • !It does not cover individual stocks or every instrument (no metals, energy, agriculture or crypto).
