Commercial Traders = Smart Money

Commercials are producers, processors, and merchants who use futures to hedge real business exposure. They accumulate at lows and distribute at highs — they make the tops and bottoms.

📈

COT Index >80% → BUY Setup

Commercials are at an extreme NET LONG position relative to the last 52 weeks. They are buying heavily — a major bottom may be forming.

📉

COT Index <20% → SELL Setup

Commercials are at an extreme NET SHORT position relative to the last 52 weeks. They are selling heavily — a major top may be forming.

⚠️

Only Act at Extremes

"Moderate readings have no edge" — Williams. COT is a positioning indicator, not a timing indicator. Wait for price confirmation before entry.
