For the last few weeks I have been trying to study COT report for use as another tool for trading in conjuction with my regular fundamental approach. You know from my first post, I like trading USD/CHF only and so I tried to focus on swiss frank in COT reports. I noticed that most of the time the non commercials were in the direction of the fund and tech trends (intermediate to longer term) while the commercials were always against !!!. I know this is against the common belief but this is what I see. You know that using COT reports (by the way I dont use COT charts, only report from cftc) is helpful only for the longer term (may be for months rather than weeks). So IF I can find a way to use it in conjunction with bwilc method which is mainly medium term trading method, I think it will be wonderful. Your comment is appreciated. Thanks Hi Colins

The information provided has helped me to begin utilize the concept of reading the currency market internals. The past two weeks I have been using the CME currency futures site to get more of an insight as to what the market is telling me. The FX Trade site you have pointed out is helping to pull the pieces of the market internal puzzle together even more. I am currently a MP Jan 2008 student of Dr. Forex. Oh, hey, one more thing...BRAVO on the bounce back from the drawdown you experienced...reprouping and jumping back in after a "rest" is the best medicine for mind and soul...
