COT update to V1.0.3.0

We are pleased to be able to provide you with an update of the COTInstitutional add-on! With this update, for one thing, the focus was placed on the optimization of the legacy data: starting immediately, with the newly developed performance boost, the data loads 300% faster. For the legacy data, the same technology is used as for the retrieval of the disaggregated data.

What’s more, we have developed innovative new display and calculation methods that allow you a fresh look at the COT data, opening the doors to numerous new interpretation possibilities and also new trading signals. Starting immediately, the COT data (legacy & disaggregated) is also available in addition to the absolute and stochastic view in the RSI, MACD and MoveIndex display.

For the RSI and MACD view, the COT data is used as an input series for the RSI and MACD calculation customarily used for trading. The MoveIndex is an index that measures the movement of the COT data during the last x period as a % value. High MoveIndex values show strong changes in the positioning of the respective market participants.

Based on the MoveIndex, we have also developed new trading signals for you – in total, 6 new conditions are being delivered to you with the update to version 1.0.3.0. of the COTInstitutional add-on. Each of these conditions uses the same logic (MoveIndex for detecting strong changes to the positioning of the commercials), whereby there is one condition pair each for the legacy data; one for disaggregated commodities and one for disaggregated financials.

The documentation of the add-on has been expanded and supplemented with these new features, and by now comprises 33 pages packed full of COT know-how. So it’s worth taking a look at the latest version of the COT documentation to find out more about the new functions.

Finally, for the sake of completeness, it is worth mentioning that of course you can also use the new calculation methods (COT RSI, COT MACD, COT MoveIndex) in the Condition Escort too, in this way allowing you to put together your own signals using these new features.
