For many years the data provided by the CFTC Commitments of Traders report was fairly useless to technical analysts desiring to use it for advanced analysis. Today, Shatterfield Data Services has produced this valuable data in a usable, chartable form, and we are proud to make it available on a monthly subscription basis to traders of Commodities and Forex issues. Here's how it works...

Each week the CFTC releases the COT data for the past week. Shatterfield's central database is automatically updated within minutes of that release, and subsequently available to our subscribers for download using the Shatterfield downloader application. You simply select the data format you desire, the downloader determines when you last downloaded, and then updates your data folders with the click of a button. That's all there is to it! You now have the most recent data available for analysis.

With chartable COT data, you now have an inside look at what is happening in the Futures and Forex markets.

Along with the traditional uses of COT data, you can also use the advanced capabilities of your charting software, such as applying indicators, system testing, and explorations. In many cases, we can provide additional resources that help you get the most out of your software. If indicators and other system aids are available, the latest versions will be available on our downloads page. And we are constantly working with providers to develop additional tools.

Of course, as all of our subscribers have found, we provide a level of personalized support unmatched in the data provider industry, at no additional cost.

Current Forex trading no longer relies the U.S. Dollar as an intermediary, but most futures transactions are still based on it for large-scale systems and hedging. This still results in a lack of COT data available for non-U.S. based currency pairs in the Forex market.

Shatterfield has solved this problem...

COT Synthetics are a set of artificial COT data that presents a fairly accurate (if not completely accurate) representation of what would be true COT data for a non-U.S. Dollar based currency pair. This data allows COT analysis to be performed using all of the same analysis methods reserved for regular COT data, including: Net Positions, COT Strength, COT Index, Contract Open Interest, Group Open Interest, Group Positions Held, etc.. Your COT data subscription includes the Synthetics data as well.

For more information on Shatterfield COT Synthetics, see our COT Synthetics page.
